Voclosporin

Voclosporin/CAS.515814-01-4/ISATX247, a structurally similar analogue of cyclosporin A, is a new type of calcineurin inhibitor. It has been modified to increase its activity by 3-4 times and exhibits a dual and synergistic mechanism. This drug works by blocking the expression of IL-2 and T cell-mediated immune response, stabilizing renal podocytes. Compared to cyclosporin, voclosporin has the advantage of having less impact on cholesterol and triglycerides and a lower risk of diabetes. In February 2021, vorcyclosporine was approved by the FDA for use in combination immunosuppressive regimens in adult patients with active, lupus nephritis.
