Cyclosporin A is a metabolite of the fungi Trichoderma polysporum, Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a cyclic polypeptide consisting of 9 amino-acids to inhibit nitric oxide synthesis induced by interleukin 1alpha, lipopolysaccharides and TNFα. CsA is an immunosuppressant. Studies in animals indicate that cyclosporin inhibits the development of cell-mediated reactions, including allograft immunity, delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, Freund's adjuvant arthritis, graft-versus-host disease and also T-cell dependent antibody production. Also inhibits lymphokine production and release and appears to block resting lymphocytes in the G0 or G1 phase of the cell cycle. CsA binds to cyclophilin and inhibits the T-cell receptor signal transduction pathway via the formation of cyclpsporin A-cyclophilin complex. The CsA-cyclophilin complex inhibits PP2 (calcineurin, a type 2B phosphatase). Calcineurin inhibition interferes with other physiological processes as well. It inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening. However, pore inhibition becomes less efficient at increasing Ca2+ loads and inhibition is transient. Inhibits staurosporin-induced apoptosis in cultured neural cells and rotenone-induced apoptosis in PC-12 cells.

How long cyclosporin is active in cell medium?

Asked by: lara91
Thank you for your question. The time sc-3503 (Cyclosporin A) stays active in cell medium has not been tested, however, there are a lot of published journal articles that reference this chemical. Cyclosporin A has been proven to be active for 18h in cultured rat hepatocytes in the following article. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3183963

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Farrow et Farrow et. al. used cyclosporin A, product sc-3503, to confirm the significance of A3G regulation by the binding of NFAT and IRF-4 to the A3G promoter. Cyclosporin A directly inhibits calcineurin, thus inhibiting NFAT nuclear translocation (PubMed ID 21078663). -SCBT Publication Review
