Antitumor activity of mycophenolic acid.

n our laboratory in 4CS mice. (3) Mouse ascites hepatoma, MH134, was converted into ascitic form by Sato et al.*\ from a C3H/HeN mouse hapatoma induced after treatment with carbon tetrachloride by Andervont et al.5) It has been maintained in C3H/He mice with distinct strain specificity in tumor take in our laboratory. (4) Mouse ascites sarcoma, SR-C3H/He Th62, was originally induced with Schmid...

Antitumor activity of derivatives of mycophenolic acid.

One hundred and eight derivatives of mycophenolic acid (MA) have been prepared by modifications at the phenolic hydroxyl and/or carboxyl sites. None of these compounds was as effective as MA in suppressing cell growth of L-518Y cell in vitro, whereas several compounds with changes at both the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups were more effective than MA against Ehrlich solid carcinoma and L-1210 leu...

Mycophenolic acid in silage.

We examined 233 silage samples and found that molds were present in 206 samples with counts between 1 x 10(3) and 8.9 x 10(7) (mean, 4.7 x 10(6)) CFU/g. Mycophenolic acid, a metabolite of Penicillium roqueforti, was detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in 74 (32%) of these samples at levels ranging from 20 to 35,000 (mean, 1,400) microg/kg. This compound has well-known immunosupp...
