MOFECON-GR 360
(MYCOPHENOLIC ACID GASTRO-RESISTANT TABLETS 360MG)
DESCRIPTION
MOFECON−GR
360
(MYCOPHENOLIC ACID GASTRO-RESISTANT TABLETS 360 MG):
Pink to light pink colored, enteric coated, ovaloid biconvex tablet,
debossed with “C 2” on one side and plain on other side.
COMPOSITION
MOFECON−GR
360
(MYCOPHENOLIC ACID GASTRO-RESISTANT TABLETS 360 MG):
Each enteric coated tablet contains: Mycophenolic acid 360 mg
_Excipients:_ Microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium,
povidone,
colloidal silicon dioxide, talc, magnesium stearate, methacrylic acid
and
ethyl acrylate copolymer, titanium dioxide, triethyl citrate, sodium
bicarbonate, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide red, sodium lauryl sulfate.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a potent, selective, uncompetitive and
reversible inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, and
therefore inhibits the _ de novo_ pathway of guanosine nucleotide
synthesis
without
incorporation
into
DNA.
Because
T-
and
B-lymphocytes are critically dependent for their proliferation on _de
_
_novo_ synthesis of purines whereas other cell types can utilize
salvage pathways, MPA has more potent cytostatic effects on
lymphocytes than on other cells.
PHARMACOKINETICS
ABSORPTION
Following oral administration, mycophenolate sodium is extensively
absorbed. Consistent with its enteric coated design, the time to
maximal concentration (T
max
) of MPA was approximately 1.5-2 hours.
DISTRIBUTION
The volume of distribution at steady state for MPA is 50 litres. Both
mycophenolic acid and mycophenolic acid glucuronide are highly
protein bound. The free MPA concentration may increase under
conditions of decreased protein binding sites (uraemia, hepatic
failure,
hypoalbuminaemia, concomitant use of drugs with high protein binding).
This may put patients at increased risk of MPA-related adverse
effects.
BIOTRANSFORMATION
MPA is metabolised principally by glucuronyl transferase to form
the phenolic glucuronide of MPA, mycophenolic acid glucuronide
(MPAG). MPAG is the pr
