Description

Rapamycin (also known as Sirolimus) is macrocyclic lactone produced by the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus isolated from soil samples from Easter Island. Rapamycin is an antifungal agent with immunosuppressive properties. Rapamycin has antirejection properties without the side effects associated with other antirejection agents. Rapamycin binds to a specific protein, Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is serine/threonine kinase. TOR (mTOR) forms two major complexes: mTORC1,and mTORC2. The mTORC1 consists of mTOR, Raptor, mLST8, FKBP38, PRAS40, and Deptor, and through specific binding of rapamycin to FKBP12, rapamycin inhibits the activity of mTORC1 leading to a decrease in protein synthesis, increased autophagy and inhibition of cell growth. 

Applications

Recent studies and investigation in mice have demonstrated the potential of Rapamycin to slow aging. Rapamycin is being tested in dogs for its anti-aging properties.

USE
Rapamycin is a member of the macrolide immunosuppressant family and a FRAP inhibitor. Rapamycin exhibits binding and inhibitory actions to the FK506 binding protein (FKBP5) proline rotamase via simultaneous binding by FKBP12 and FRAP. FRAP (RAFT1) proteins exhibit homology to PI 4- and PI 3-kinases, which have PI 4-kinase and autophosphorylating activities.The rapamycin/FKBP complex does not inhibit the FRAP PI 4-kinase activity, but does inhibit FRAP autophosphorylation. Rapamycin is unique in its ability to inhibit 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. It 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. Angiogenesis inhibition is also exhibited, possibly through the inhibition of the Akt pathway. Rapamycin is an inhibitor of mTOR.
