Q

MOA of Cyclosporine (cyclosporin A, CSA)

A 
Cyclosporine binds to cyclophilin
, a member of a class of intracellular proteins called immunophilins.

Cyclosporine and cyclophilin form a complex that
inhibits the cytoplasmic phosphatase, calcineurin, which is necessary
for the activation of a T-cell-specific transcription factor. This
transcription factor, NF-AT, is involved in the synthesis of interleukins
(eg, IL-2) by activated T cells.
