Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is the active metabolite of the immunosuppressant drug mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and is primarily metabolised by glucuronidation to a phenolic glucuronide (MPAG) and an acyl glucuronide (AMPAG), a potential immunotoxic metabolite. Mitochondrial mycophenolic acid acyl-glucuronide esterase (ABHD10) deglucuronidates AMPAG thereby ABHD10 could play a role in the protection against acyl glucuronide-induced toxicity (Iwamura et al. 2012).
