CellCept

(mycophenolic acid)

PreclinicalSmall molecule

Mycophenolic acid is used to prevent the body's immune system from rejecting transplanted organs like kidneys, hearts, or livers. It's also used to treat certain autoimmune diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.[1] CellCept is currently being investigated across 5 indications[3], with its most advanced program in Preclinical.[1]

CellCept is one of 190 small molecule programs targeting Crohn's Disease. It is currently in Preclinical.
