Mycophenolic acid b-D-glucuronide is a metabolite of mycophenolic acid, which is an immunosuppressant drug. The glucuronide form of mycophenolic acid is the main form found in human serum. Mycophenolic acid b-D-glucuronide has been shown to have a concentration–time curve that has a higher peak at about 3 hours and lower troughs than those for mycophenolic acid. It has also been shown to have similar effects on autoimmune diseases as its parent compound, but with fewer side effects. Mycophenolic acid b-D-glucuronide can be detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The analytical method for this compound was developed using HPLC methods with detection by fluorescence at 254 nm and has been validated for use in human serum samples.
