Overview of Clinical Research | <p>
<span style=”font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size:12px;”><span style=”font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;”>The phase 4 study of Tacrolimus in transplants is ongoing. It was discovered in 1984 from the fermentation broth of a Japanese soil sample that contained the bacteria Streptomyces tsukubaensis. Tacrolimus is chemically known as a macrolide. It reduces peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity by binding to the immunophilin FKBP-12 (FK506 binding protein) creating a new complex. This FKBP12-FK506 complex inhibits calcineurin which inhibits T-lymphocyte signal transduction and IL-2 transcription.</span></span></span></p>
