Description and Uses

FK-506 is a potent immunosuppressant in the same molecular class as cyclosporin A and rapamycin . Its mechanism of action involves the formation of a high affinity complex (Ki = 0.2 nM) with FK-506 binding protein 12 (FKBP12). This complex then inhibits the activity of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, calcineurin, leading to disruption of T cell activation. The physiological effects of FK-506 also include regulation of nitric oxide neurotoxicity, neurotransmitter release, and regulation of Ca2+ release via the ryanodine and inositol-(1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors. In the latter case, FKBP12 forms a tight complex with both ryanodine and IP3 receptors which can be disrupted by FK-506, thereby rendering the receptors leaky to Ca2+.

Tacrolimus (fujimycin) was discovered as a potent inhibitor of IL2 production in a targeted search for novel immunosuppressants. Tacrolimus acts by blocking T cell proliferation in vitro by inhibiting the generation of several lymphokines, notably the original target IL-2. Tacrolimus inhibits the activity of FK-506 binding protein, Ca2+-dependent phosphatase and calcineurin, and activates NF-κB through phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα.
