General description
Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase Type II (IMPDH2) is a ubiquitously expressed dominant isoform during developmental stages. IMPDH2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 3p21.31.
Application
Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase Type II human has been used to test the inhibitory effect on vacor adenine dinucleotide (VAD) on its dehydrogenase activity.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase Type II (IMPDH2) binds to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). It catalyzes the formation of xanthosine monophosphate from inosine monophosphate in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). IMPDH2 elevated levels in tumors are correlated to its rate-limiting activity in guanosine monophosphate (GMP) synthesis. High levels of IMPDH2 is implicated in glioblastoma (GBM). It is regarded as a potential therapeutic target against tumors, antiviral, and immunosuppression-related pathologies.
Type II is the predominant IMPDH isoform and is specifically linked to a wide range of cancers and lymphocyte proliferation.
Unit Definition

Inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) catalyzes the first unique step of the GMP branch of the purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme is found in organisms of all three kingdoms. IMPDH inhibitors have broad clinical applications in cancer treatment, as antiviral

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an immunosuppressive agent that acts as a selective, non-reversible inhibitor of the enzyme inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). Malformations have been described in children after maternal exposure to mycophenolate. However, the causal link is unclear in most cases

Hybrid pharmacophore anti-proliferative compounds, comprised of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and 1-nitroacridine/4-nitroacridone derivative have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of five different leukemia cell lines (Jurkat, Molt-4, HL-60, CCRF-CEM, L1210) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors. These

Human inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (hIMPDH2), being an age-old target, has attracted attention recently for anticancer drug development. Mycophenolic acid (MPA), a well-known immunosuppressant drug, was used a lead structure to design and develop modestly potent and selective analogues. The
