Abstract:
In this review, we explore the electroanalytical determination of mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolic acid. Mycophenolate mofetil is a prodrug of mycophenolic acid, which is an immunosuppressive agent used to lower the body's natural immunity in patients who receive organ transplants as well as to treat autoimmune conditions. Laboratory based analytical instrumentation provide a routine methodology to measure mycophenolate mofetil and its metabolites, but there is scope to develop in-the-field analytical measurements that are comparable to those from laboratory equipment. Electroanalysis provides an opportunity to provide highly selective and sensitive outputs but are cost-efficient and can support on-site analysis. In this review, we provide an electroanalytical overview of the current research directed toward the measurement of mycophenolate mofetil and mycophenolic acid, offering insights to future research.

Phase II Reactions: Methylation Reactions
The mechanism of methylation unfolds in two stages. The first stage sees a methyltransferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the substrate, forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The second stage involves further metabolism of SAH into homocysteine, which can be recycled...
