OFF-Target Effects of Mycophenolic Acid on BK Polyomavirus Replication in Primary Human Renal Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Caroline A. Hillenbrand, Dorssa Akbari Bani, Océane M. Follonier…·Hans Hellmuth Hirsch

This study investigates how mycophenolic acid (MPA) inhibits BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) replication in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells through off-target effects, showing that guanosine can reverse this inhibition.
