Abstract
In order to establish whether CyP is the pharmacologically relevant CsA receptor, the CyP binding v immunosuppressive activity was measured for an extensive, structurally varied group of CsA analogues. Overall, CyP binding was found to parallel immunosuppressive activity. Other than MeAla6-CsA, the few exceptions to the correlation could be ascribed to cellular metabolism. These results strongly implicate CyP or a related protein in the mechanism of action of cyclosporine.Entities:
