General description

Selectively inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of p70 S6 kinase (IC50 = 50 pM). Prevents the translational activation of IGF-II. Also prevents resting T-cells from entering the cell cycle, but does not directly arrest cell cycle progression. Shown to inhibit later signaling events, such as p110Rb phosphorylation, p34cdc2 kinase activation, and cyclin A synthesis. Exhibits strong binding to FK-506 binding proteins. Also reported to induce apoptosis in a murine B-cell line, to inhibit lymphokine-induced cell proliferation at the G1 phase, and to irreversibly arrest Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in the G1 phase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: no
Primary Target
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)
Product does not compete with ATP.
Reversible: no
Target IC50: 50 pM inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and blocking the subsequent activation of p70 S6 kinase

Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) show immense promise for treating inflammatory diseases, attributed primarily to their potent paracrine signaling. Previous investigations demonstrated that short-term Rapamycin preconditioning of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) elevated secretion of prostaglandin E2, a pleiotropic molecule

Programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) exerts critical functions as tumor suppressor and in immune cells to regulate inflammatory processes. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) promotes degradation of PDCD4 via mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). However, additional pathways that
