MOA of Cyclosporine
Binds cylophilin and immunophilin which inhibits calcineurin and prevents IL2 prod and its receptor -> blocks differentiation and activation of T cells

Organ transplants
Selected autoimmune (RA)
Toxicity of Cyclosporins
Predisposes to viral infections and lymphomas
Nephrotoxic
MOA of Leflunomide
Undergoes rapid conversion to A77-1726 which inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase leading to decreased levels of UMP - cells arrest in G1
Lymphocytes lack salvage pathways and proliferate regularly (need pyrimadines 8x more than other cells) -> decreased autoimmune cells/antibodies
