| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Ascomycin (11011-38-4) is an analog of FK-506 (Cat.# 10-1103). Potent immunosuppressant1. Binds to FKBP122 and inhibits calcineurin and NFAT. Ascomycin displays anti-inflammatory effects in skin diseases3. Cell permeable and active in vivo. | [Uses]
A potent immunosuppressive agent and could be used as a potential therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases. | [General Description]
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. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Product does not compete with ATP. | [Enzyme inhibitor]
This antifungal antibiotic (FW = 792.02 g/mol; CAS 104987-12-4;
Solubility: 50 mM in DMSO), 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. | [References]
