General description

Chemical structure: macrolide
Rapamycin is derived from Streptomyces hygroscopicus . It can inhibit viral replication. This natural anti-fungal antibiotic is a proven anti-aging agent. Rapamycin significantly inhibits mTORC1 regardless of age. It suppresses protein kinase C activity and enhances ion transport in A6 cells. It also suppresses the immune response in membrane and cytosolic preparations. Additionally, it has specific effects on the translation of endogenous mRNAs and inhibits the translation of 5′TOP mRNAs by blocking p70s6k activation in the signaling pathway. Rapamycin exhibits antineoplastic properties.

Application

Rapamycin from Streptomyces hygroscopicus has been used:
  •  to treat BV2 cells or BV2-LC3 cells for autophagy assay
  • as an autophagy activator in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) transfected with lentivirus carrier of small interfering RNA for FOXO3 (siFOXO3) to study the effects of Forkhead Box O3 (FOXO3) on the autophagy of BM-MSCs
  • to pre-incubate villi to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling

Biochem/physiol Actions

A macrocyclic triene antibiotic that 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.
