The plasma protein albumin is important for the movement of the drug as mycophenolic acid binds to albumin. Mycophenolic acid inhibits inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase from converting inosinic acid into xanthylic acid. This reaction is the first commited step the purine de novo synthesis pathway to create guanine. Due to the inhibition, low levels or guanine and guanosine are produced halting DNA and RNA synthesis as guanine and gunaosine are important as they are nucleobase and nucleoside respectively. T and B lymphocytes require purines being produced through the purine de novo pathway in order to proliferate and create antibodies. Unlike other cells who can obtain DNA/RNA building blocks through other means, T and B lymphocytes are reliant on this pathway. Mycophenolic acid has potent cytostatic effects causing the immune system to weaken. Lymphocyte
