Biochem/physiol Actions: | Ascomycin is a strong immunosuppressant. It inhibits allogenic T-lymphocyte proliferation and can bind with high affinity to FKBP and inhibits calcineurin phosphatase in the nM range. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Ascomycin (FK520) possesses high anti-fungal and immunosuppressant activity. Ascomycin has been shown to inhibit the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity of FK-506-binding proteins of T cells. |
General description: | Ascomycin (FK520) is a macrolide and macrolactone antibiotic isolated from the soil bacterium, Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus. Ascomycin is a C21 ethyl analog of the macrolide tacrolimus (FK-506). It is a 23-membered polyketide macrolide. |
General description: | Chemical structure: macrolactam |
