Pimecrolimus is a natural ascomycin macrolactam that binds to macrophilin-12 (FKBP-12) and inhibits calcineurin as well as prolyl isomerase (rotamase).{21559} Presumably through these actions, it blocks the activation of T cells by allogeneic dendritic cells (IC50 = 0.55 nM) without affecting dendritic cells.{21561,21562,21572,21573} Moreover, pimecrolimus suppresses the generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines by T cells, the release of pre-formed inflammatory mediators from mast cells, and the activation of eosinophils.{21560,21561,21557} These effects support the use of pimecrolimus in countering inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis.{21574,21558,21571}
