Ascomycin
Chemical Name: (3S,4R,5S,8R,9E,12S,14S,15R,16S,18R,19R,26aS)-8-Ethyl-5,6,8,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,24,25,26,26a-hexadecahydro-5,19-dihydroxy-3-[(1E)-2-[(1R,3R,4R)-4-hydroxy-3-methoxycyclohexyl]-1-methylethenyl]-14,16-dimethoxy-4,10,12,18-tetramethyl-15,19-epoxy-3H-pyrido[2,1-c][1,4]oxaazacyclotricosine-1,7,20,21(4H,23H)tetrone
Biological Activity
Analog of FK 506 (Cat. No. 3631); binds to FK 506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) in order to inhibit calcineurin phosphatase activity (IC50 = 49 nM) and activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Displays antifungal and immunosuppressive activities.Technical Data
