Rapamycin Application:
Sirolimus Rapamycin ,A triene macrolide antibiotic isolated from streptomyces hygroscopicus.Name derived from the native word for easter island, rapa'nui.Used as an immunosuppressant;Antirestenotic.Rapamycin is a triene macrolide discovered in 1995 as a metabolite of streptomyces hygroscopicus found in a soil obtained on rapi nui (easter island).Rapamycin displayed potent and selective antifungal activity, notably against candida albicans.Interest in the metabolite waned until the structural relationship to the potent immunosuppressant fujimycin (antibiotic fk506) was recognised in the mid-1980s.
Sirolimus Rapamycin ,This recognition led to the re-discovery of rapamycin as a highly selective antitumour and immunosuppressant. Rapamycin inhibits the activity of the protein, mtor (mammalian target of rapamycin) which functions in a signalling pathway to promote tumour growth.Rapamycin binds to a receptor protein (fkbp12).The rapamycin/fkb12 complex then binds to mtor and prevents interaction of mtor with target proteins in this signalling pathway.
