he cyclic undecapeptide, cyclosporin (Cs) H, is a potent inhibitor of FMLP-induced superoxide anion (02-) formation in human neutrophils. We studied the effects of CsH in comparison with those of N-tbutoxycarbonyl-~-phenylalanyl-~-leucyl-~-phenyialanyl-~-ieucyi-~-phenylalanine IBocPLPLP), a well known formyl peptide receptor antagonist, and of other Cs on activation of Nh,2'-O-dibutyryl adenosi...
