/BOXED WARNING/ MALIGNANCIES AND SERIOUS INFECTIONS. Increased risk of development of lymphoma and other malignancies, particularly of the skin, due to immunosuppression. Increased susceptibility to bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoal infections, including opportunistic infections. Only physicians experienced in immunosuppressive therapy and management of organ transplant patients should prescribe Prograf. Patients receiving the drug should be managed in facilities equipped and staffed with adequate laboratory and supportive medical resources. The physician responsible for maintenance therapy should have complete information requisite for the follow-up of the patient.

For use after allogenic organ transplant to reduce the activity of the patient's immune system and so the risk of organ rejection. It was given FDA approval in 1994 for use in liver transplantation. Since then, this indication has expanded to kidney, heart, small bowel, pancreas, lung, trachea, skin, cornea, and limb transplants. It has also been used in a topical preparation in the treatment of severe atopic dermatitis.
FDA Label
Prophylaxis of transplant rejection in adult kidney or liver allograft recipients.
Treatment of allograft rejection resistant to treatment with other immunosuppressive medicinal products in adult patients.
Prophylaxis of transplant rejection in adult kidney or liver allograft recipients. Treatment of allograft rejection resistant to treatment with other immunosuppressive medicinal products in adult patients.

* Flare treatment:
Adults and adolescents (16 years of age and above)
Treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adults who are not adequately responsive to or are intolerant of conventional therapies such as topical corticosteroids.
Children (two years of age and above)
Treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in children (two years of age and above) who failed to respond adequately to conventional therapies such as topical corticosteroids.
* Maintenance treatment:
Maintenance treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis for the prevention of flares and the prolongation of flare-free intervals in patients experiencing a high frequency of disease exacerbations (i. e. occurring four or more times per year) who have had an initial response to a maximum of six weeks treatment of twice daily tacrolimus ointment (lesions cleared, almost cleared or mildly affected).

Prevention of solid organ transplant rejection, Treatment of solid organ transplant rejection
Tacrolimus acts by reducing peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity by binding to the immunophilin FKBP-12 (FK506 binding protein) creating a new complex. This inhibits both T-lymphocyte signal transduction and IL-2 transcription. Tacrolimus has similar activity to cyclosporine but rates of rejection are lower with tacrolimus. Tacrolimus has also been shown to be effective in the topical treatment of eczema, particularly atopic eczema. It suppresses inflammation in a similar way to steroids, but is not as powerful. An important dermatological advantage of tacrolimus is that it can be used directly on the face; topical steroids cannot be used on the face, as they thin the skin dramatically there. On other parts of the body, topical steroid are generally a better treatment.
Calcineurin Inhibitors
Compounds that inhibit or block the PHOSPHATASE activity of CALCINEURIN. (See all compounds classified as Calcineurin Inhibitors.)

Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

Absorption
Absorption of tacrolimus from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration is incomplete and variable. The absolute bioavailability in adult kidney transplant patients is 1710%; in adults liver transplant patients is 226%; in healthy subjects is 185%. The absolute bioavailability in pediatric liver transplant patients was 3124%. Tacrolimus maximum blood concentrations (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) appeared to increase in a dose-proportional fashion in 18 fasted healthy volunteers receiving a single oral dose of 3, 7, and 10 mg. When given without food, the rate and extent of absorption were the greatest. The time of the meal also affected bioavailability. When given immediately after a meal, mean Cmax was reduced 71%, and mean AUC was reduced 39%, relative to the fasted condition. When administered 1.5 hours following the meal, mean Cmax was reduced 63%, and mean AUC was reduced 39%, relative to the fasted condition.
Route of Elimination
In man, less than 1% of the dose administered is excreted unchanged in urine. When administered IV, fecal elimination accounted for 92.630.7%, urinary elimination accounted for 2.31.1%.

The aim of this study was to assess tacrolimus levels in breast milk and neonatal exposure during breastfeeding. An observational cohort study was performed in two tertiary referral high-risk obstetric medicine clinics. Fourteen women taking tacrolimus during pregnancy and lactation, and their 15 infants, 11 of whom were exclusively breast-fed, were assessed. Tacrolimus levels were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Samples from mothers and cord blood were collected at delivery and from mothers, infants, and breast milk postnatally where possible. All infants with serial sampling had a decline in tacrolimus level, which was approximately 15% per day (ratio of geometric mean concentrations 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-0.88; P<0.001). Breast-fed infants did not have higher tacrolimus levels compared with bottle-fed infants (median 1.3 ug/L [range, 0.0-4.0] versus 1.0 ug/L (range, 0.0-2.3), respectively; P=0.91). Maximum estimated absorption from breast milk is 0.23% of maternal dose (weight-adjusted). Ingestion of tacrolimus by infants via breast milk is negligible. Breastfeeding does not appear to slow the decline of infant tacrolimus levels from higher levels present at birth.

Maternal and umbilical cord (venous and arterial) samples were obtained at delivery from eight solid organ allograft recipients to measure tacrolimus and metabolite bound and unbound concentrations in blood and plasma. Tacrolimus pharmacokinetics in breast milk were assessed in one subject. Mean (+ or - SD) tacrolimus concentrations at the time of delivery in umbilical cord venous blood (6.6 + or - 1.8 ng ml(-1)) were 71 + or - 18% (range 45-99%) of maternal concentrations (9.0 + or - 3.4 ng ml(-1)). The mean umbilical cord venous plasma (0.09 + or - 0.04 ng ml(-1)) and unbound drug concentrations (0.003 + or - 0.001 ng ml(-1)) were approximately one fifth of the respective maternal concentrations. Arterial umbilical cord blood concentrations of tacrolimus were 100 + or - 12% of umbilical venous concentrations. In addition, infant exposure to tacrolimus through the breast milk was less than 0.3% of the mother's weight-adjusted dose. Differences between maternal and umbilical cord tacrolimus concentrations may be explained in part by placental P-gp function, greater red blood cell partitioning and higher haematocrit levels in venous cord blood.

The plasma protein binding of tacrolimus is approximately 99% and is independent of concentration over a range of 5-50 ng/mL. Tacrolimus is bound mainly to albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, and has a high level of association with erythrocytes. The distribution of tacrolimus between whole blood and plasma depends on several factors, such as hematocrit, temperature at the time of plasma separation, drug concentration, and plasma protein concentration. In a US study, the ratio of whole blood concentration to plasma concentration averaged 35 (range 12 to 67). There was no evidence based on blood concentrations that tacrolimus accumulates systemically upon intermittent topical application for periods of up to 1 year. As with other topical calcineurin inhibitors, it is not known whether tacrolimus is distributed into the lymphatic system.

The metabolism of tacrolimus is predominantly mediated by CYP3A4 and secondarily by CYP3A5. Tacrolimus is metabolized into 8 metabolites: 13-demethyl tacrolimus, 31-demethyl tacrolimus, 15-demethyl tacrolimus, 12-hydroxy tacrolimus, 15,31-didemethyl tacrolimus, 13,31-didemethyl tacrolimus, 13,15-didemethyl tacrolimus, and a final metabolite involving O-demethylation and the formation of a fused ring. The major metabolite identified in incubations with human liver microsomes is 13-demethyl tacrolimus. In in vitro studies, a 31-demethyl metabolite has been reported to have the same activity as tacrolimus.
Tacrolimus is extensively metabolized by the mixed-function oxidase system, primarily the cytochrome P-450 system (CYP3A).

The mechanism of action of tacrolimus in atopic dermatitis is not known. While the following have been observed, the clinical significance of these observations in atopic dermatitis is not known. It has been demonstrated that tacrolimus inhibits T-lymphocyte activation by first binding to an intracellular protein, FKBP-12. A complex of tacrolimus-FKBP-12, calcium, calmodulin, and calcineurin is then formed and the phosphatase activity of calcineurin is inhibited. This prevents the dephosphorylation and translocation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NF-AT), a nuclear component thought to initiate gene transcription for the formation of lymphokines. Tacrolimus also inhibits the transcription for genes which encode IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, GM-CSF, and TNF-, all of which are involved in the early stages of T-cell activation. Additionally, tacrolimus has been shown to inhibit the release of pre-formed mediators from skin mast cells and basophils, and to downregulate the expression of FceRI on Langerhans cells.
Tacrolimus is a macrolide immunosuppressant produced by Streptomyces tsukubaensis. Tacrolimus is commercially available for topical use as a 0.03 or 0.1% ointment. The exact mechanism(s) of action of tacrolimus in the treatment of atopic dermatitis has not been elucidated but appears to involve inhibition of the activation of T cells. Tacrolimus also has been shown to inhibit release of mediators from skin mast cells and basophils and to downregulate the expression of high-affinity receptors for immunoglobulin E (IgE) on Langerhans cells. Although tacrolimus is not genotoxic and does not interact directly with DNA, the drug may impair local immunosurveillance.

Tacrolimus inhibits T-lymphocyte activation, although the exact mechanism of action is not known. Experimental evidence suggests that tacrolimus binds to an intracellular protein, FKBP-12. A complex of tacrolimus-FKBP-12, calcium, calmodulin, and calcineurin is then formed and the phosphatase activity of calcineurin inhibited. This effect may prevent the dephosphorylation and translocation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NF-AT), a nuclear component thought to initiate gene transcription for the formation of lymphokines (such as interleukin-2, gamma interferon). The net result is the inhibition of T-lymphocyte activation (i.e., immunosuppression).

Tacrolimus, formerly known as FK506, is a macrolide antibiotic with immunosuppressive properties. Although structurally unrelated to cyclosporin A (CsA), its mode of action is similar. It exerts its effects principally through impairment of gene expression in target cells. Tacrolimus bonds to an immunophilin, FK506 binding protein (FKBP). This complex inhibits calcineurin phosphatase. The drug inhibits calcium-dependent events, such as interleukin-2 gene transcription, nitric oxide synthase activation, cell degranulation, and apoptosis. Tacrolimus also potentiates the actions of glucocorticoids and progesterone by binding to FKBPs contained within the hormone receptor complex, preventing degradation. The agent may enhance expression of the transforming growth factor beta-1 gene in a fashion analogous to that demonstrated for CsA. T cell proliferation in response to ligation of the T cell receptor is inhibited by tacrolimus. Type 1 T helper cells appear to be preferentially suppressed compared with type 2 T helper cells. T cell-mediated cytotoxicity is impaired. B cell growth and antibody production are affected indirectly by the suppression of T cell-derived growth factors necessary for these functions. Antigen presentation appears to be spared. ...

A Tacrolimus CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Tacrolimus Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Tacrolimus CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Tacrolimus EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Tacrolimus to their clients by showing that a Tacrolimus CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Tacrolimus CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Tacrolimus CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Tacrolimus CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Tacrolimus DMF.
A Tacrolimus CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Tacrolimus CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.
