Rapamycin: Pharmaceutical-Grade mTOR Inhibitor for Research & Medical Applications – Manufacturer & Exporter Guide
1. What is Rapamycin?
For research institutions and pharmaceutical companies exploring longevity and immune modulation, Rapamycin (Sirolimus) represents one of the most significant discoveries in molecular biology. This macrocyclic lactone compound, originally isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus found in Easter Island soil, has revolutionized our understanding of cellular metabolism and aging processes. As a potent mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) inhibitor, it serves as a critical tool for research into aging, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. While primarily used as an immunosuppressant drug in transplant medicine, its research applications continue to expand into novel therapeutic areas.
