Description:

This antifungal antibiotic also known as FK520, isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus, is also a powerful immunosuppressant. Note that ascomycin is a structural analogue of tacrolimus (or FK506) and, as such, operates by a similar mechanism of action (See Tacrolimus). Ascomycin inhibits allogenic T-lymphocyte proliferation and calcineurin phosphatase activity.

 

Uses:

An ethyl analog of FK506 with similar immunosuppressant properties. Acts by binding to immunophilins. Inhibits the synthesis of Th-1 and Th-2 type cytokines in target cells.
