it is available as a prodrug, mycophenolate mofetil (mmf), which is a 2-morpholinoethyl ester with improved bioavailability. after absorption, mmf is hydrolyzed to mpa and n-(2-carboxymethyl)- morpholine, n-(2-hydroxyethyl)-morpholine, and the n-oxide of n-(2-hydroxyethyl)-morpholine by the carboxylesterases ces-1 (in the liver only) and ces-2 (in the liver and intestine).
