Produktinformation

• Name: Dihydrocyclosporin A
• Synonyme: 6-[(2S,3R,4R)-3-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-(methylamino)octanoic acid]cyclosporin A
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Dihydrocyclosporin A is an immunosuppressant, which is a cyclic undecapeptide derived from fungal metabolites, specifically from the soil fungus Tolypocladium inflatum. This compound functions through the inhibition of calcineurin, which is a crucial phosphatase involved in the activation of T-cells. By binding to the intracellular protein cyclophilin, Dihydrocyclosporin A forms a complex that inhibits calcineurin activity, subsequently blocking the transcription of interleukin-2 and other cytokines essential for T-cell proliferation.
