Ciclosporin is a cyclic polypeptide that has been used widely as an orally-available immunosuppressant. [1] It was originally used to prevent transplant rejection of solid organs but has also found use as an orally administered agent to treat psoriasis, [2] rheumatoid arthritis, [3] dry eye [4] and other auto-immune related conditions.
Ciclosporin is thought to bind to the cytosolic protein cyclophilin (an immunophilin) of immunocompetent lymphocytes, especially T-lymphocytes. This complex of ciclosporin and cyclophilin inhibits the phosphatase calcineurin , which under normal circumstances induces the transcription of interleukin-2 .

Trichodysplasia spinulosa (also known by many other names, including viral-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa, viral-associated trichodysplasia, pilomatrix dysplasia and ciclosporin-induced folliculodystrophy, although the last is a misnomer) is a rare cutaneous condition that has been described almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients, usually organ transplant recipients, on ...
Basiliximab is indicated for the prophylaxis of acute organ rejection in de-novo allogeneic renal transplantation. [3] It is to be used concomitantly with ciclosporin for microemulsion- and corticosteroid-based immunosuppression, in people with panel reactive antibodies less than 80%, or in a triple maintenance immunosuppressive regimen containing ciclosporin for microemulsion, corticosteroids ...
Tolypocladium inflatum has long been of interest in biotechnology due to its production of a relatively non-cytotoxic, natural 11 amino acid [18] cyclic peptide [19] named Ciclosporin A. [13] Ciclosporin is an immunosuppressant drug used in the management of autoimmune diseases and the prevention of rejection in organ transplantation. [5]
