Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
EC 1.1.1.205 (IMP dehydrogenase) inhibitor  An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of IMP dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.205), so blocking de novo biosynthesis of purine nucleotides.
immunosuppressive agent  An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.
