Immunomodulators are bio-active agents, which suppress, weaken or alter the activity of the immune system. This may consequently weaken inflammatory responses. Immunomodulators (immunosuppreessors) are most often used in organ transplantation to prevent rejection of an implant.

Autoimmune diseases are situations, where the immune system attacks one's own cells, tissues and organs, erroneously recognizing them as alien factors.
Immunomodulators may be used to cure autoimmune deseases.

Chemical name
FK506
Description

FK506 is 23-membered macrolide lactone discovered in 1984, by Kino T, Hatanaka H and Hashimoto M. [reference 2] FK506 exhibits potent inhibitory effect on T- lymphocyte activation. It binds to immunophilins FK506 binding proteins (FKBP-12) and a complex of FKBP-12, calcium, calmodulin and calcineurin is formed, inhibiting phosphatase activity of calcineurin. This prevents dephosphorylation and translocation of nuclear factor of activated T – cells (NF-AT) and inhibits transcription of early T-cell activation gene, Interleukin-2, Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF-a) and proto-oncogenes; suppressing expression of IL-2 and IL-7 receptor. This results in inhibition of T-lymphocyte activation. FK506 also inhibits the mixed lymphocyte reaction, generation of cytotoxic T-cells and T-cell dependent B-cell activation.

Description

Deoxynivalenol (DON , Vomitoxin) is a type B trichothecene. It occurs in grains such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and maize, rice, sorghum. Deoxynivalenol (DON ) is produced by numerous strains of Fusarium and some other fungi. Deoxynivalenol (DON ) poisonings occur both in humans and farm animals. Deoxynivalenol (DON ) is highly toxic, producing a wide range of immunological disturbances and is particularly noted for inducing feed refusal and emesis in pigs, hence the alternative name vomitoxin Deoxynivalenol (DON ) usually co-occurs with other Fusarium toxins, such as Zearalenone, Nivalenol and its derivates, as well as the group of fumonisins.

Applications

Bafilomycin A1 is a specific inhibitor of vacuolar type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) in animal cells, plant cells and microorganisms. Bafilomycin A1 is useful in distinguishing among different types of ATPases. Bafilomycin A1 can prevent the re-acidification of synaptic vesicles once they have undergone exocytosis. Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antineoplastic, Immunosuppressive Bafilomycin A1 has been shown to decrease multi-drug resistance.

Bafilomycin A1, inhibits vacuolar-​ATPase.
It is a potassium ionophore that impairs mitochondrial functions.
It activates respiration of neuronal cells via uncoupling associated with flickering depolarization of mitochondria.
Bafilomycin A1 has been commonly used as a method of inhibition of infection by viruses known or suspected to follow the path of receptor-​mediated endocytosis and low-​pH-​mediated membrane fusion
Vacuolar ATPase inhibitors overcome Bcl-​xL-​mediated chemoresistance through restoration of a caspase-​independent apoptotic pathway.
