abstract：BACKGROUND:Deoxyspergualin (DSG), a potent immunosuppressive drug, has been clinically used as a rescue therapy for acute graft rejection. However, DSG has severe adverse effects that limits its use. Here, we examined the optimized therapeutic protocol for DSG using chronopharmacological profiles of it. METHODS:First,...
