  1. Cyclosporine
    • immunosuppressant
    • bind cyclophilin-->inhibit calcineurin--> inhibit IL-2 production--> block Tcell activation

    • USE- suppress organ rejection after transplant
    • -autoimmune disorders

    • SE- nephrotoxic! (prevent with mannitol diuresis)
    • -increase risk of viral infections and lymphoma
  2. Tacrolimus
    • immunosuppressant
    • bind FK-binding protein--> inhibit IL-2 secretion

    USE- suppress organ rejection after transplant

    • SE-Nephrotoxic! peripheral neuropathy, HTN
    • Pleural effusion, hyperglycemia!
  3. Sirolimus (rapamycin)
    • immunosuppressant
    • bind, block mTOR--> inhibit T cell proliferation in response to IL-2

    USE- immunosuppressant after kidney transplant in combo w/ cyclosporine + corticosteroids
