Product Information

• Name: Cyclosporine U
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cyclosporine U is a cyclic polypeptide immunosuppressant, which is a derivative of the natural product Cyclosporine A, produced by the fermentation process involving the filamentous fungus *Tolypocladium inflatum*. It primarily acts by inhibiting the activity of calcineurin, a phosphatase enzyme, which in turn blocks the transcription of interleukin-2 and other cytokines. This mechanism suppresses the activation of T-lymphocytes, a crucial component in the immune response.
