| Bioactivity | Cyclosporin A (Cyclosporine A) is an immunosuppressant which binds to the cyclophilin and inhibits phosphatase activity of calcineurin with an IC50 of 5 nM[3]. Cyclosporin A also inhibits CD11a/CD18 adhesion[8]. |
| Invitro | Cyclosporin A is able to bind with the cyclophilin in T cells[1]. Cyclosporin A works by forming a Cyclophilin-Cyclosporin A complex to inhibit calcineurin[2]. Cyclosporin A inhibits calcineurin in stimulated cells with an IC50 value of 7 nM[3]. Cyclosporin A suppresses the nuclear translocation of NF-AT[4]. Cyclosporin A shows an effect on mitochondria via preventing the MTP from opening with an IC50 of 39 nM[5]. |
