Abstract
The pharmacological profiles of two new derivatives of the immunosuppressive drug, cyclosporine, is presented here. (Nva2)-CS has very similar properties to CS, but lacks the nephrotoxic side-effects. This derivative appears to be a potential successor to cyclosporine. (Val2)DH-CS seems to have a different spectrum of activities. It does not suppress humoral immunity and allograft rejection, but suppresses some types of cell-mediated immune responses. This derivative may prove useful in autoimmune situations where T cells are involved in the disease process.Entities:
