Cyclosporin C is a minor analogue of the cyclosporin complex produced by a number of different fungal genera including Trichoderma, Tolypocladium, Fusarium, Nectria and Acremonium. Cyclosporin C possesses immunosuppressant activity but has been much less extensively investigated than the major analogue, cyclosporin A.
