CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:

The molecular formula of tacrolimus is C44H69NO12. IUPAC name for this compound is (1R,9S,12S,13R,14S,17R,18E,21S,23S,24R,25S,27R)-1,14-dihydroxy-12-[(E)-1-[(1R,3R,4R)-4-hydroxy-3-methoxycyclohexyl]prop-1-en-2-yl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-17-prop-2-enyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22.3.1.04,9]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetrone and is a macrolide lactone.

PRODUCT APPLICATION:

Tacrolimus is an inhibitor of calcineurin, an enzyme that can activate T-lymphocytes. T-Lymphocytes are an essential component of the immune system. In addition to this, tacrolimus also inhibits the synthesis of interleukin-2. Both these actions lead to reduced immune response. This reduction in immunity helps prevent transplant organ rejection.
