Mycophenolic Acid Lactone (EP Impurity H) usage and description
Mycophenolic Acid Lactone, also known as EP Impurity H, is a chemical compound that is commonly used in pharmaceutical research and development. It is a lactone form of mycophenolic acid, a potent immunosuppressive agent that is used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. Mycophenolic Acid Lactone is one of the main by-products of the synthesis of mycophenolic acid, and it is often present in small amounts in samples of mycophenolic acid.
In terms of chemical information, Mycophenolic Acid Lactone has the molecular formula C17H18O6 and a molecular weight of 318.3 g/mol. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone. Its melting point is reported to be between 155-160ยฐC.
Mycophenolic Acid Lactone is used in pharmaceutical research and development as a reference standard for the analysis of mycophenolic acid and its related compounds. It is also used as a starting material for the synthesis of other mycophenolic acid derivatives. Its pharmacological activity and toxicity profile are not well studied, and it is not used clinically as a therapeutic agent. However, its presence in mycophenolic acid samples is monitored to ensure the purity and quality of the drug product.
