Beschreibung

FK-506 is an immunosuppressant that is produced by fermentation. It is used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs and to treat a number of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. FK-506 binds to the IL-2 receptor on T-cells and inhibits their proliferation, thereby preventing activation of other immune cells. FK-506 has been shown to be effective in treating a number of diseases, including myocardial infarcts, coronary heart disease, and oral hypoglycaemic. The optimum concentration for this drug is not known, but it appears that higher concentrations are more beneficial in treating some conditions.
