background: cyclosporine a (csa) is a potent immunosuppressant drug with therapeutic and toxic actions. the use of csa is limited by its toxicity. several researchers had proposed that oxidative stress could play an important role in csa-induced toxicity. arbutin has recently been shown to possess antioxidative and free radical scavenging abilities.the present study was designed to investigate ...

Cyclosporin and azathioprine are immunosuppressive drugs, used widely in kidney transplant patients. A significant association between immunosuppressive therapy and multiple warts was described several years ago. There are also some reports of sebaceous gland hyperplasia in kidney transplant patients receiving cyclosporin. We report herein a 57-year-old woman who developed multiple warts on her...

it has been shown that the immunophilin ligands have the special advantage in spinal cord repair. in this study, the effects of cyclosporine a (csa) on functional recovery and histological outcome were evaluated following spinal cord injury in rats. after spinal cord hemisection in thirty six adult female sprague-dawley rats (200- 250 g), treatment groups received csa (2.5 mg/kg i.p.) at 15min ...

purpose : to present a case of typical cogan syndrome (cs) and the efficacy of topical cyclosporine a in the treatment case report : a 38-year-old woman with history of dizziness, loss of bilateral hearing and tinnitus in both ears who developed bilateral keratitis and on biomicroscopic examination, subepithelial stromal infiltration, corneal vascularization was observed in both eyes. anterior ...

The Raman spectrum of cyclosporin-A has been recorded in the solid phase. The conformation of the molecule has been discussed on the basis of Raman data. It has been concluded that in agreement with X-ray data, cyclosporin-A molecule has an antiparallel P- pleated sheet conformation. It may have some reverse P- turn structure in what has been assigned to a random coil conformation.

Recent studies have shown that cyclosporin A (CsA) may affect ricin A-chain immunotoxin (RTA-IT) therapy. In this study, we evaluated the ability of CsA and its nonirnmunosuppressive analog. SDZ PSC 833, to enhance anti-CD5 T l O l RTA-ITS in vitro. Both 4 pmol/L CsA and 4 pmol/L SDZ PSC 833 significantly and specifically enhanced the cytotoxic activity of T101 RTA-IT on the human lymphoblastic...
