Cyclosporin A

Description

Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a cyclic undecapeptide from an extract of soil fungi that binds the cyclophilin D and thus preventing the formation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. The interaction of CsA with the cyclophilin D is phosphate mediated but the full mechanism of interaction is not well understood. For example, the deficiency of cyclophilin D in KO models does not prevent mitochondria from permeability transition and from CsA inhibition. Moreover, it is also a is a calcineurin inhibitor and potent immunosuppressive agent used largely as a means of prophylaxis against cellular rejection after solid organ transplantation.

Abbreviation: CsA

Application in HRR

CsA:Cyclosporin A (C62H111N11O12); Sigma 30024, 25 mg, store commercial stock at 2-8ยฐC; M = 1202.61 gยทmol-1 (โ‰ฅ 95%).


Preparation of 400 ยตM stock solution (dissolved in 99.9% ethanol)
  1. Weigh 1 mg of CsA and dissolve in 2.11 ml of ethanol absolute (99.9%).
  2. Divide in aliquots.
  3. Store frozen at -20 ยฐC.

  • Titration volume: 5 ยตL using a 10 ยตL syringe (2 mL O2k-chamber).
  • Final concentration: 1 ยตM.


Even if 1 ยตM is recommended as the working concentration in most of the publications it is highly relevant to test the optimal concentration for your research model.
