Ciclosporin, also spelled cyclosporine and cyclosporin, is an immunosuppressant medication and natural product.[3] It is used by mouth and injection into a vein for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, nephrotic syndrome, and in organ transplants to prevent rejection.[4][3] It is also used as eye drops for keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes).[5]
Common side effects include high blood pressure, headache, kidney problems, increased hair growth, and vomiting. Other severe side effects include an increased risk of infection, liver problems, and an increased risk of lymphoma. Blood levels of the medication should be checked to decrease the risk of side effects.[4] Use during pregnancy may result in preterm birth; however, it does not appear to cause birth defects.[6]
Ciclosporin is believed to work by decreasing the function of lymphocytes.[4] It does this by forming a complex with cyclophilin to block the phosphatase activity of calcineurin that in turn decreases the production of inflammatory cytokines by T‐lymphocytes.[7]
Ciclosporin was isolated in 1971 from the fungus Tolypocladium inflatum and came into medical use in 1983.[8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.[9] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$106.50 a month.[10] In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about GB£121.25 per month.[11] The wholesale price in the United States is about US$172.95 per month.[12]
Ciclosporin is approved by the FDA to prevent and treat graft-versus-host disease in bone-marrow transplantation and to prevent rejection of kidney, heart, and liver transplants.[13][14] It is also approved in the US for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis,[14] as an ophthalmic emulsion for the treatment of dry eyes[15] (a common symptom of Sjögren's syndrome), and as a treatment for persistent nummular keratitis following adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis.[16]
In addition to these indications, ciclosporin is also used in severe atopic dermatitis, Kimura disease, pyoderma gangrenosum, chronic autoimmune urticaria, acute systemic mastocytosis, and, infrequently, in rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases, although it is only used in severe cases.[citation needed]
Ciclosporin has also been used to help treat people with acute severe ulcerative colitis and autoimmune urticaria that do not respond to treatment with steroids.[17] This drug is also used as a treatment of posterior or intermediate uveitis with noninfective cause.[citation needed]
Treatment may be associated with a number of potentially serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
ADRs can include enlargement of the gums, convulsions, peptic ulcers, pancreatitis, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, hypercholesterolemia, dyspnea, numbness and tingling particularly of the lips, pruritus, high blood pressure, potassium retention possibly leading to hyperkalemia, kidney and liver dysfunction (nephrotoxicity[18] and hepatotoxicity), burning sensations at finger tips, and an increased vulnerability to opportunistic fungal and viral infections. In short, it is nephrotoxic, neurotoxic, increases the risk of squamous cell carcinoma and infections, and often causes hypertension (due to renal vasoconstriction and increased sodium reabsorption). The latter may result in serious adverse cardiovascular events; thus it is recommended that prescribers find the lowest effective dose for people requiring long term treatment.[19] Ciclosporin also causes enlargement of the gums and increased hair growth which is not seen with tacrolimus (another calcineurin inhibitor).
Use of ciclosporin in post renal transplantation is associated with hyperuricemia and, in some cases, gout.[20] This is due to the decrease in glomerular filtration rate induced by ciclosporin leading to retention of uric acid. Use of azathioprine as an alternative has shown to reduce the incidence of gouty arthritis.
It is listed as IARC Group 1 carcinogens (sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans).[21]
The most important effect of ciclosporin is to lower the activity of T cells and their immune response. It does this by binding to cyclophilin, a multifunctional protein that facilitates protein folding, acts as a protein chaperone, and regulates the activity of other proteins. The resulting ciclosporin/cyclophilin complex inhibits the phosphatase activity of calcineurin which in turn is required for the activation of transcription factors that up regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines.[7]
Ciclosporin binds to the cytosolic protein cyclophilin (immunophilin) of lymphocytes, especially T cells. This complex of ciclosporin and cyclophilin inhibits calcineurin, which, under normal circumstances, is responsible for activating the transcription of interleukin 2. In T-cells, activation of the T-cell receptor normally increases intracellular calcium, which acts via calmodulin to activate calcineurin. Calcineurin then dephosphorylates the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFATc), which moves to the nucleus of the T-cell and increases the activity of genes coding for IL-2 and related cytokines. Ciclosporin prevents the dephosphorylation of NF-AT by binding to cyclophilin.[22] It also inhibits lymphokine production and interleukin release and, therefore, leads to a reduced function of effector T-cells. It does not affect cytostatic activity.
Ciclosporin affects mitochondria by preventing the mitochondrial permeability transition pore from opening, thus inhibiting cytochrome c release, a potent apoptotic stimulation factor. This is not the primary mechanism of action for clinical use, but is also an important effect for research on apoptosis.
Ciclosporin binds to the cyclophilin D protein (CypD) that constitutes part of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP),[23][24] and by inhibiting the calcineurin phosphatase pathway.[23][25][26] The MPTP is found in the mitochondrial membrane of cardiac myocytes (heart muscle cells) and moves calcium ions (Ca2+
) into the mitochondria.[23][24] When open, Ca2+
enters the mitochondria, disrupting transmembrane potential (the electric charge across a membrane). If unregulated, this can contribute to mitochondrial swelling and dysfunction.[24] To allow for normal contraction, intracellular Ca2+
increases, and the MPTP in turn opens, shuttling Ca2+
into the mitochondria.[24] Calcineurin is a Ca2+
-activated phosphatase (enzyme that removes a phosphate group from substrate) that regulates cardiac hypertrophy.[25][27][28] Regulation occurs through NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) activation, which, when dephosphorylated, binds to GATA and forms a transcription factor (protein that can bind DNA and alter the expression of DNA) with ability to control the hypertrophic gene (2). Activation of calcineurin causes increases in hypertrophy.[25][27]
Most peptides are synthesized by ribosomes, but cyclosporin is a cyclic nonribosomal peptide of 11 amino acids and contains a single D-amino acid, which is rarely encountered in nature.[29]
Ciclosporin is highly metabolized in humans and animals after ingestion. The resulting metabolites include cyclosporin B, C, D, E, H, L, and others.[30] Ciclosporin metabolites have been found to have lower immunosuppressant activity than CsA (approximately <10%), and are associated with higher nephrotoxicity.[31] Individual ciclosporin metabolites have been isolated and characterized but do not appear to be extensively studied.
Cyclosporin is synthesized by a nonribosomal peptide synthetase, cyclosporin synthetase.[32] The enzyme contains an adenylation domain, a thiolation domain, a condensation domain, and an N-methyltransferase domain. The adenylation domain is responsible for substrate recognition and activation, whereas the thiolation domain covalently binds the adenylated amino acids to phosphopantetheine, and the condensation domain elongates the peptide chain. Cyclosporin synthetase substrates include L-valine, L-leucine, L-alanine, glycine, 2-aminobutyric acid, 4-methylthreonine, and D-alanine, which is the starting amino acid in the biosynthetic process.[33] With the adenylation domain, cyclosporin synthetase generates the acyl-adenylated amino acids, then covalently binds the amino acid to phosphopantetheine through a thioester linkage. Some of the amino acid substrates become N-methylated by S-adenosyl methionine. The cyclization step releases cyclosporin from the enzyme.[34] Amino acids such as D-Ala and butenyl-methyl-L-threonine indicate cyclosporin synthetase requires the action of other enzymes such as a D-alanine racemase. The racemization of L-Ala to D-Ala is pyridoxal phosphate-dependent. The formation of butenyl-methyl-L-threonine is performed by a butenyl-methyl-L-threonine polyketide synthase that uses acetate/malonate as its starting material.[35]
In 1970, new strains of fungi were isolated from soil samples taken from Norway and from Wisconsin in the USA by employees of Sandoz (now Novartis) in Basel, Switzerland. Both strains produced a family of natural products called cyclosporins. Two related components that had antifungal activity were isolated from extracts from these fungi. The Norwegian strain, Tolypocladium inflatum Gams, was later used for the large scale fermentation of ciclosporin.[36]
The immunosuppressive effect of the natural product cyclosporin was discovered in December 1971 in a screening test on immune suppression designed and implemented by Hartmann F. Stähelin at Sandoz.[37][36] The chemical structure of cyclosporin was determined in 1976, also at Sandoz.[38][39] The success of the drug candidate ciclosporin in preventing organ rejection was shown in kidney transplants by R.Y. Calne and colleagues at the University of Cambridge,[40] and in liver transplants performed by Thomas Starzl at the University of Pittsburgh Hospital. The first patient, on 9 March 1980, was a 28-year-old woman.[41] In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ciclosporin for clinical use in 1983.[42][43][44][45]
The drug exhibits very poor solubility in water, and, as a consequence, suspension and emulsion forms of the drug have been developed for oral administration and for injection. Ciclosporin was originally brought to market by Sandoz, now Novartis, under the brand name Sandimmune, which is available as soft gelatin capsules, as an oral solution, and as a formulation for intravenous administration. These are all nonaqueous compositions.[46] A newer microemulsion,[47] orally-administered formulation, Neoral,[48] is available as a solution and as soft gelatin capsules (10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg). The Neoral compositions are designed to form microemulsions in contact with water. Generic ciclosporin preparations have been marketed under various trade names, including Cicloral (Sandoz/Hexal), Gengraf (Abbott) and Deximune (Dexcel Pharma). Since 2002, a topical emulsion of ciclosporin for treating inflammation caused by keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome) has been marketed under the trade name Restasis (0.05%). Inhaled ciclosporin formulations are in clinical development, and include a solution in propylene glycol and liposome dispersions.
The drug is also available in a dog preparation manufactured by Novartis Animal Health called Atopica. Atopica is indicated for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in dogs. Unlike the human form of the drug, the lower doses used in dogs mean the drug acts as an immunomodulator and has fewer side effects than in humans. The benefits of using this product include the reduced need for concurrent therapies to bring the condition under control. It is available as an ophthalmic ointment for dogs called Optimmune, manufactured by Intervet, which is part of Merck.
The natural product was named cyclosporin by the German speaking scientists who first isolated it[36] and cyclosporine when translated into English. Per International Nonproprietary Name (INN) guidelines for drugs,[49] the "y" was replaced with "i" so that the INN for the drug is spelled ciclosporin.
Ciclosporin is the INN and British Approved Name (BAN) while cyclosporine is the United States Adopted Name (USAN) and cyclosporin is a former BAN.
Ciclosporin is currently in a phase II/III (adaptive) clinical study in Europe to determine its ability to ameliorate neuronal cellular damage and reperfusion injury (phase III) in traumatic brain injury. This multi-center study is being organized by NeuroVive Pharma and the European Brain Injury Consortium using NeuroVive's formulation of ciclosporin called NeuroSTAT (also known by its cardioprotection trade name of CicloMulsion). This formulation uses a lipid emulsion base instead of cremophor and ethanol.[50] NeuroSTAT was recently compared to Sandimmune in a phase I study and found to be bioequivalent. In this study, NeuroSTAT did not exhibit the anaphylactic and hypersensitivity reactions found in cremophor- and ethanol-based products.[51]
Ciclosporin has been investigated as a possible neuroprotective agent in conditions such as traumatic brain injury, and has been shown in animal experiments to reduce brain damage associated with injury.[52] Ciclosporin blocks the formation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which has been found to cause much of the damage associated with head injury and neurodegenerative diseases. Ciclosporin's neuroprotective properties were first discovered in the early 1990s when two researchers (Eskil Elmér and Hiroyuki Uchino) were conducting experiments in cell transplantation. An unintended finding was that CsA was strongly neuroprotective when it crossed the blood–brain barrier.[53] This same process of mitochondrial destruction through the opening of the MPT pore is implicated in making traumatic brain injuries much worse.[54]
Ciclosporin has been used experimentally to treat cardiac hypertrophy[23][27] (an increase in cell volume).
Inappropriate opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) manifests in ischemia[23] (blood flow restriction to tissue) and reperfusion injury[23] (damage occurring after ischemia when blood flow returns to tissue), after myocardial infarction[25] (heart attack) and when mutations in mitochondrial DNA polymerase occur.[23] The heart attempts to compensate for disease state by increasing the intracellular Ca2+
to increase the contractility cycling rates.[24] Constitutively high levels of mitochondrial Ca2+
cause inappropriate MPTP opening leading to a decrease in the cardiac range of function, leading to cardiac hypertrophy as an attempt to compensate for the problem.[24][25]
CsA has been shown to decrease cardiac hypertrophy by affecting cardiac myocytes in many ways. CsA binds to cyclophilin D to block the opening of MPTP, and thus decreases the release of protein cytochrome C, which can cause programmed cell death.[23][24][55] CypD is a protein within the MPTP that acts as a gate; binding by CsA decreases the amount of inappropriate opening of MPTP, which decreases the intramitochondrial Ca2+
.[24] Decreasing intramitochondrial Ca2+
allows for reversal of cardiac hypertrophy caused in the original cardiac response.[24] Decreasing the release of cytochrome C caused decreased cell death during injury and disease.[23] CsA also inhibits the phosphatase calcineurin pathway (14).[23][25][28] Inhibition of this pathway has been shown to decrease myocardial hypertrophy.[25][27][28]
The drug is approved in the United States for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in dogs.[56] It is also used to treat sebaceous adenitis (immune response against the sebaceous glands), pemphigus foliaceus (autoimmune blistering skin disease), Inflammatory bowel disease, anal furunculosis (anal inflammatory disease), and myasthenia gravis (a neuromuscular disease).[56][57]
It is sometimes prescribed for extreme cases of immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.[57]
On 2 September (1983), the Food and Drug Administration approved cyclosporin, a new drug that suppresses the immune system.
