We have studied the transport characteristics of cyclosporine A (CSA) in isolated rabbit renal proximal tubular cells (PTC). The uptake as well as efflux was very rapid and dependent on temperature. PTC accumulated CSA by several fold above the incubation medium concentration. Kinetic analysis yielded an apparent Km and Vmax values of 5.1 microM and 47 Pmoles/10(6) cells/min respectively. Calcium channel blockers verapamil or diltiazem, at concentrations (0.5-1.0 mM) that inhibited calcium uptake, reduced CSA uptake significantly. Other calcium transport modulators A23187 (5 microM), trifluoroperazine (50 microM) and ruthenium red (100 microM) induced anticipated changes in calcium uptake but had no effect on CSA uptake. These results suggest a close association or interaction between the calcium channels and the CSA transporting/binding sites on PTC membranes.

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines

D000001 Calcimycin An ionophorous, polyether antibiotic from Streptomyces chartreusensis. It binds and transports CALCIUM and other divalent cations across membranes and uncouples oxidative phosphorylation while inhibiting ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. The substance is used mostly as a biochemical tool to study the role of divalent cations in various biological systems. 4-Benzoxazolecarboxylic acid, 5-(methylamino)-2-((3,9,11-trimethyl-8-(1-methyl-2-oxo-2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl)-1,7-dioxaspiro(5.5)undec-2-yl)methyl)-, (6S-(6alpha(2S*,3S*),8beta(R*),9beta,11alpha))-,A-23187,A23187,Antibiotic A23187,A 23187,A23187, Antibiotic
