Cyclosporine A is a macrocyclic compound with 11 amino acids, which is extracted from fungus of Tolypocladium capitatum. Cyclosporin uses as pharmaceuticals such as immunosuppressive drug. In this research, addition of a small amount of cyclosporine A to an achiral liquid crystal induced chiral induction. Further, transcription of the molecular structure of chiral liquid crystal was carried out through electrochemical polymerization in the chiral liquid crystal induced by cyclosporine A.
