Renal Failure, 1999 Tacolimus (FK506) is a potent immunosuppressive agent with significant nephrotoxic properties. FK506 is complexed with an intracellular binding protein FKBP-12. Both the immunosuppressive and nephrotoxic effects may be linked to the inhibitory effect of this complex on calcineurin.

HEPATOTROPHIC EFFECTS OF FK506 IN DOGS [PDF]
Transplantation, 1991 Portacaval shunt (Eck fistula) in dogs causes hepatocyte atrophy and organelle disruption, as well as tripling of hepatocyte mitoses. After submitting dogs to this procedure, FK506 was infused into the tied-off left portal vein. The size, anatomic quality, and replication of hepatocytes were enhanced in the portion of liver infused with FK506, with a ...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 1993 In this study, we used solid-phase extraction with Sep-Pak and a liquid-liquid extraction with methylene chloride as two primary methods of extracting FK506 from plasma. The extracts were either analyzed directly by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation and different fractions

Interactions of FK506 and Rapamycin With FK506 Binding Protein 12 in Opportunistic Human Fungal Pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 Over the past few decades advances in modern medicine have resulted in a global increase in the prevalence of fungal infections. Particularly people undergoing organ transplants or cancer treatments with a compromised immune system are at an elevated risk for lethal fungal infections such as invasive candidiasis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, etc. The

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The cysteine redox state of the Hendra virus W (WHeV) protein controls assembly into fibrils or amorphous aggregates, with residues 2–29 required for fibrillation. In cells, WHeV forms different types of nuclear condensates. Impaired ability to form redox‐sensitive, non‐filamentous condensates reduces WHeV inhibition of the NF‐κB pathway, while it ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Early life adversity triggers persistent social subordination and brain‐wide molecular dysregulation. Pharmacological inhibition of the stress‐mediator FKBP51 during the adversity period prevents these long‐term deficits and restores normative social hierarchy.

The Mechanism of Action of Cyclosporin A and FK506
Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, 1996 The immunosuppressants cyclosporin A (CsA), FK506, and rapamycin suppress the immune response by inhibiting evolutionary conserved signal transduction pathways. CsA, FK506, and rapamycin bind to their intracellular receptors, immunophilins, creating composite surfaces that block the activity of specific targets.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Caspofungin heteroresistance is prevalent in clinical Candida glabrata isolates and depends on calcineurin‐mediated stress adaptation. This transient phenotype serves as a reservoir for resistance evolution, enabling the emergence of stable resistant descendants under prolonged drug pressure.
