| Biochem/physiol Actions: | A fungal metabolite possessing potent immunosuppressive properties. It inhibits the T-cell receptor signal transduction pathway via the formation of cyclosporin A−cyclophilin complex that inhibits calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B). Inhibits nitric oxide synthesis induced by interleukin 1α, lipopolysaccharides and TNFα. Can block cytochrome c release from mitochondria. |

| General description: | Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a fungal metabolite, a cyclic undecapeptide. It has highly specific immunosuppressive effects with low myelotoxicity, thereby making it a valuable drug in human organ transplantation. Its immunosuppressive activity is based upon its ability to inhibit early steps of T-lymphocyte activation such as lymphokine gene transcription. |
| General description: | Cyclosporin A has been used to: • Prevent rejection of kidney and liver transplants. • In graft versus host disease. • Treatment of autoimmune diseases. • Treatment of Schistosomiasis. |
