Mechanism of action
Ciclosporin binds to cyclophilin and inhibits calcineurin, a phosphatase required for T-cell receptor signaling and IL-2 production. This suppresses the activation and proliferation of T-lymphocytes in ocular tissues, reducing inflammation. NOVA22007 is a 0.1% ophthalmic formulation designed for improved ocular penetration and therapeutic effect in dry eye disease.
