Cyclosporin A

The cyclosporins are a group of macrolide immunosuppressants isolated from fungi. They are researched for their use in prevention of post-transplant graft rejection. Their mechanism of action involves suppression of cytotoxic T-cell maturation and activity by binding lymphocyte protein cyclophilin. Cyclophilin and cyclosporin form a complex targeting calcineurin, which is responsible for activating T-lymphocytes. Additionally, the cyclosporins are researched for their ability to prevent damage to normal functioning cells in autoimmune disorders.Cyclosporin A is over 99% pure and soluble in DMSO and ethyl alcohol.Product SpecificationsCyclosporin AFormula: C62H111N11O12MW: 1,202.61 g/mol
