Cyclosporin H is a minor analogue of the cyclosporin family which is immunologically inactive as it does not bind to immunophilin. Cyclopsorin H is the most extensively investigated of the minor cyclosporin analogues and displays a range of activities. It is a potent inhibitor of tumor-promoting phorbol esters on mouse skin in vivo, a potent inhibitor of calcium/calmodulin-dependent EF-2 phosphorylation in vitro, a potent and selective antagonist of formyl peptide receptor and inhibitor of formyl peptide-induced superoxide formation.
