Immunosuppressants - Antiproliferative Agents

Antiproliferative immunosuppressants are a therapeutic category of medications, most prominently represented by mycophenolate derivatives and azathioprine, that suppress immune activity by inhibiting purine synthesis and disrupting nucleic acid metabolism By arresting cell division, these agents selectively impair the rapid clonal expansion of activated T and B lymphocytes that lack alternative salvage pathways for nucleotide generation They serve as vital components of maintenance regimens to p...
