Rapamycin

Rapamycin is a member of the macrolide immunosuppressant family and a FRAP inhibitor and inhibits lymphokine induced cell proliferation at the G1 and S phase as well as an irreversible cellular arrest at the G1 phase in S. cerevisiae cells.


  • White powder


This antibiotic also exhibits selective signal blocking leading to the activation of p70/85 S6 kinase, which is potentially due to the inhibition of FRAP autophosphorylation or protein kinase activity


This rapamycin binds to and inhibits the molecular target of rapamycin (mTOR). It forms a complex with FKBP12 that binds to and inhibits the molecular target of rapamycin (mTOR). Rapamycin is a potent immunosuppressant and has anticancer activity.


Angiogenesis inhibition is also exhibited, possibly through the inhibition of the Akt pathway. It also induces autophagy in yeast and mammalian cell lines.
