Description

Application

FK-506 monohydrate has been used:

• as an immunosuppressive agent in coculture medium to study the effect of immunologic reaction[1]
• as a calcineurin inhibitor, in anhydrous Me₂SO solution[2]
• to treat retinal pigment epithelial cells to measure possible cytotoxicity[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

FK-506 also appears to inhibit Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange. FK-506 and its derivatives demonstrate significant neurodegenerative activity. This property seems to arise via different mechanisms.[4][5] FK-506 is also useful in treating ophthalmologic complications such as corneal graft rejection, uveoretinitis and allergen induced conjunctivitis.[3]

FK-506 is a potent immunosuppressant, neuroprotective and neuroregenerative, and in vitro T cell proliferation blocker. FK-506 disrupts calcineurin-mediated signal transduction in T lymphocytes and interacts with its FK-506-binding protein-12 (FKBP12).

FK-506 is a potent immunosuppressant; neuroprotective and neuroregenerative; in vitro T cell proliferation blocker.
