Description Rapamycin was first evaluated as an antifungal agent, but is now studied for its potent immunosuppressive and antiproliferative properties. It forms a complex with FKBP12 and directly binds to mTORC1, inhibiting the functions of the mTOR pathway. Rapamycin is reported to block protein synthesis, arrest cell cycle progression, and inhibit IL-2 signal transduction mechanisms.
