What does it do?

Mizoribine is classified as an immunosuppressant, used to inhibit excessive reactions of the immune system. It is primarily used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and in the prevention of rejection reactions after organ transplantation. This ingredient regulates immune responses by inhibiting the proliferation of immune cells.

Mizoribine reduces the activity of immune cells by interfering with the nucleic acid synthesis required for immune cell proliferation. This prevents the immune system from becoming overly activated, thereby alleviating autoimmune diseases or transplant rejection reactions.

Good to know

Unlike other immunosuppressants, Mizoribine primarily acts through the inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis and has a relatively mild side effect profile. Additionally, it is advantageous in that it selectively acts on specific immune cells to regulate systemic immunosuppressive effects.
