Tacrolimus Anhydrous

Preferred Label : Tacrolimus Anhydrous;

NCIt synonyms : Advagraf; Avagraf; Tsukubaenolide; Anhydrous Tacrolimus;

NCIt definition : Anhydrous from of tacrolimus, a macrolide isolated from Streptomyces tsukubaensis. Tacrolimus binds to the FKBP-12 protein and forms a complex with calcium-dependent proteins, thereby inhibiting calcineurin phosphatase activity and resulting in decreased cytokine production. This agent exhibits potent immunosuppressive activity in vivo and prevents the activation of T-lymphocytes in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. Tacrolimus possesses similar immunosuppressive properties to cyclosporine, but is more potent.;
