Mechanism of action

Cyclosporin works by binding to cyclophilin, which then inhibits calcineurin. This inhibition prevents the activation of T cells by blocking the transcription of IL-2. Mycophenolate mofetil, on the other hand, inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of guanosine nucleotides, which are necessary for T cell activation. By inhibiting these enzymes, both drugs reduce the immune response and prevent transplant rejection.
