About
Renodapt 750mg contains an active ingredient belonging to the class of immunosuppressants. It works by inhibiting the proliferation of lymphocytes, specifically T and B cells, which are crucial components of the immune system involved in organ rejection. This selective inhibition helps to prevent the body's immune system from attacking and rejecting transplanted organs. It is metabolized to mycophenolic acid, which is a potent, selective, uncompetitive, and reversible inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), an enzyme essential for the de novo synthesis of guanosine nucleotides. Lymphocytes are highly dependent on this pathway for proliferation, whereas other cell types can utilize salvage pathways.
This medication is typically used in combination with other immunosuppressive agents, such as corticosteroids and ciclosporin or tacrolimus, to provide comprehensive immunosuppression and minimize the risk of acute and chronic organ rejection following transplantation. Its mechanism of action helps to maintain the long-term function of the transplanted organ by modulating the immune response effectively.
