Background:

Xanthosine 5’-monophosphate (XMP) is an intermediate in purine metabolism, the product of the rate limiting step in the generation of guanosine monophosphate, which is important for DNA, RNA, and glycoprotein synthesis. XMP is generated from inosine-5’-monophosphate by IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH). Inhibitors of IMPDH, including ribavirin and mycophenolate mofetil , have potential applications as antiviral and anti-cancer drugs.
