Answer 1

Bioactive molecules include growth factors, enzymes, angiogenic factors, cytokines, hormones, immunosuppressant drugs, and other chemical compounds that interact with and regulate cellular activities. Cyclosporine is considered as a bioactive molecule, which is isolated from the fungus Tolypocladium inflatum. Cyclosporine is clinically utilized as an immunosuppressant drug that acted particularly to suppress T-cell immunity. This drug majorly used in organ transplantation to prevent graft rejection.
