Drugs in Macrolide Immunosuppressants - Topical
Topical macrolide immunosuppressants—more widely categorized in clinical practice as topical calcineurin inhibitors—are a class of nonsteroidal immunomodulating agents that include tacrolimus and pimecrolimus.
Derived structurally from macrolide antibiotics, these agents bind to the intracellular immunophilin FKBP-12 to inhibit calcineurin phosphatase activity, thereby preventing T-lymphocyte activation and suppressing the transcription of proinflammatory cytokines.
They serve primarily as second-line, steroid-sparing topical treatments for inflammatory skin conditions, predominantly atopic dermatitis (eczema), offering an alternative that avoids corticosteroid-induced cutaneous atrophy.
