Immunesuppressant drugs
mTOR inhibitors
Ropamune (sirolimus)
mechanism of action
sirolimus inhibit T lymphocytes activation and proliferation that occur in response to antigenic and cytokine, stimulating by mechanism that distinct of other immunosuppressants. Sirolimus
also inhibit antibody production. In cell sirolimus bind immunophilins, fk binding protein -12 to
degenerate an immunosuppressive complex.This complex binds to and inhibit the activation of mammalian targets of rapamycin (mTOR)

-
calcineurin inhibitor
ciclosporin
Mechanism of action
calcineurin activates transcription of IL 2 (interleukin 2) ciclosporin binds with cytosolic cyclophilin to form a complex which inhibits calceneurin
indications
Kidney, liver, heart transplant rejection
nursing considerations
-
side effect
unusual hair growth, headache
-
nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea
-
-
-
azathioprine
Mechanism of action
azathioprine antagonizes purine metabolism and may inhibits synthesis of DNA, RNA and proteins. It also interferes with cellular metabolism and inhibits mitosis. Its mechanism of action is likely due to incorporation of thiopurine analogues into the DNA structure, causing structure, termination and cytotoxicity
