Tacrolimus as Antifungal Agent
Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2019 Tacrolimus (FK506) is an immunosuppressant drug widely used to avoid organ rejection in transplant patients. It has a profound influence on the cellular stress response by interfering with the calmodulin-calcineurin signaling pathway. In this context FK506 also became a valuable antifungal drug in medical care. Here it is shown in vitro that tacrolimus
