CasNo: 53123-88-9
Molecular Formula: C51H79NO13
Appearance: white to off-white solid

Rapamycin, also known as Sirolimus, is a macrolide compound produced by the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus, first discovered in soil samples from Easter Island in 1975. It has potent immunosuppressive and antifungal properties and is widely used in organ transplantation to prevent rejection. Rapamycin appears as a white solid crystal with a melting point of 183-185°C, and it is soluble in organic solvents like methanol, ethanol, acetone, and chloroform, but insoluble in water. |
Description |
Rapamycin inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a key protein involved in cell growth and proliferation, making it useful for immunosuppression, cancer therapy, and potentially anti-aging treatments. It is marketed under the brand name Rapamune (Wyeth). Shanghai Wibson Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise that mainly develops and sells pharmaceutical and chemical raw materials and other related products. The company has advanced and perfect supporting system and has formed advanced chemical synthesis technology, which can quickly meet the personalized needs and series development from suitable testing to industrial production. Products are exported to Russia, Southeast Asia and other countries, in the world has a very high reputation and visibility. The company has strong financial strength and a good operating environment, can provide customers with high-quality, efficient and fast services. |
Manufacturing Process |
Rapamycin is produced through fermentation of Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The manufacturing process can be outlined in two main stages: First-stage Inoculum: Streptomyces hygroscopicus spores are inoculated in a medium containing peptone, sodium chloride, yeast extract, and glucose. A larger fermenter (250-liter) is used, with a production medium including soluble starch, ammonium sulfate, glucose, molasses, and other minerals. |
Therapeutic Uses | Rapamycin is approved for preventing organ rejection in kidney transplant patients. Unlike other immunosuppressants, it has no nephrotoxicity, making it safer for long-term use. Rapamycin and its analogs (rapalogs), such as everolimus and temsirolimus, are used in treating various cancers, including renal cell carcinoma, lymphoma, and neuroendocrine tumors. They target the mTOR pathway, which is overactive in many cancers. Rapamycin is FDA-approved for treating lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease, and shows promise for treating vascular anomalies and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). In addition to its use in transplantation and cancer treatment, Rapamycin-coated stents prevent coronary restenosis by limiting tissue overgrowth. It may also treat severe uveitis and age-related macular degeneration. |

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that controls cellular metabolism, catabolism, immune responses, autophagy, survival, proliferation, and migration, to maintain cellular homeostasis. The mTOR signaling cascade consists of two distinct multi-subunit complexes named mTOR complex 1/2 (mTORC1/2). mTOR catalyzes the phosphorylation of several critical proteins like AKT, protein kinase C, insulin growth factor receptor (IGF-1R), 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K),
Of the secondary outcomes, rapamycin decreased mRNA relative expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-18, reduced plasmatic IL-18 protein, and increased the percentage of classical monocytes and memory switched B cells, although no corrections were applied for multiple tests. In conclusion, we show that rapamycin treatment is well tolerated and provides reassuring safety findings in ALS patients, but further trials are necessary to understand the biological and clinical effects of this drug in ALS.
