Calcineurin activates T cells of the immune system, which can result in an autoimmune response. Calcineurin inhibitors are drugs that block the action of calcineurin and prevent the action of the immune system. This group includes drugs like Ciclosporin, Voclosporin, and Tacrolimus. These drugs are used for rheumatic diseases, schizophrenia, and organ transplantation.
