Description of Cyclosporin A

Cyclosporin A is an immunosuppressive agent which has three major cellular targets including cyclophilins, calcineurin and transporters[1] while it can inhibit the activity of cyclophilin A and calcineurin with an IC50 of 360nM[1] and 5nM[2]. Cyclosporin A-mediated immunosuppression is achieved by forming a ternary complex with cyclophilins and calcineurin to block the phosphatase activity of calcineurin and thus dephosphorylation and nuclear shuttling of the nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) is inhibited [1, 3]. Cyclosporine A is mainly used in clinical practice to inhibit immune failure in xenograft tissues [1].

Cyclosporin A (0.001nM~1mM; 24h) inhibited production of IL-2 in Jurkat cells stimulated with OKT3 monoclonal antibody and PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) with an IC50 of 10nM [2]; Cyclosporin A (4μM; 18h) reduced viral envelope protein secretion from hepatitis B virus-infected HepaRG cells [1]; Cyclosporin A (10μM; 24h) reduced viral gene expression and viral titers significantly in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpCs) infected with SARS-CoV-2 [4].

Cyclosporin A (50mg/kg; 6d; p.o.) reduced viral RNA in Balb/c mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 [4]; Cyclosporin A (10mg/kg; 2d/tid.; p.o.) significantly reduced the accumulation of eosinophils in the lung of male Hartley guinea-pig which were sensitized by ovalbumin [5]; Cyclosporin A (5mg/kg; 3weeks; p.o.) increased the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels in male Wistar rats [6].

Protocol of Cyclosporin A

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Jurkat cells

Preparation Method

Cells were stimulated with OKT3 monoclonal antibody (1:4000 dilution of ascites) and 2ng of PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) per ml for 24h in the presence of different concentrations of Cyclosporin A (absence of Cyclosporin A as a control).

Reaction Conditions

0.001nM~1mM; 24h

Applications

Cyclosporin A inhibited production of IL-2.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male Wistar rats

Preparation Method

The rats were fed with Cyclosporin A (5 mg/kg) for 3 weeks and the vehicle as a control. The concentrations of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in serum were determined as indexes for evaluating renal function.

Dosage form

5mg/kg; 3weeks; p.o.

Applications

Cyclosporin A increased the serum creatinine and BUN levels.
