Cyclosporine capsules, USP [MODIFIED] and cyclosporine oral solution, USP [MODIFIED] are oral formulations of cyclosporine that immediately forms a microemulsion in an aqueous environment. Cyclosporine, the active principle in cyclosporine capsules [MODIFIED] and cyclosporine oral solution, USP [MODIFIED], is a cyclic polypeptide immunosuppressant agent consisting of 11 amino acids. It is produced as a metabolite by the fungus species Beauveria nivea . Chemically, cyclosporine is designated as [ R -[ R *, R *-( E )]]-cyclic-(L-alanyl-D-alanyl- N -methyl-L-leucyl- N -methyl-L-leucyl- N -methyl-L-valyl-3-hydroxy- N , 4-dimethyl-L-2-amino-6-octenoyl-L-α-amino-butyryl- N -methylglycyl- N -methyl-L-leucyl-L-valyl- N -methyl-L-leucyl). Each soft gelatin cyclosporine capsule, USP [Modified] for oral administration contains 25 mg or 100 mg of cyclosporine, USP. In addition, each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: Caprylic/capric triglyceride, dl-alpha-tocopherol, gelatin, glycerin, glyceryl caprylate, PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides, PEG-35 castor oil, red iron oxide, shellac, sorbitol special 76% and titanium dioxide USP. Cyclosporine oral solution, USP [MODIFIED] contains 100 mg/mL of cyclosporine, USP. Inactive ingredients: Caprylic/capric triglyceride, dl-alpha-tocopherol, glyceryl caprylate, PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides, PEG-35 castor oil. The chemical structure of cyclosporine, USP (also known as cyclosporin A) is: Chemical Structure
