mtor (fkbp12)

Everolimus (SDZ-RAD) is a potent mTOR inhibitor that binds to FKBP-12. It is used alone or in combination with calcineurin inhibitors.

Rapamycin (AY 22989) is a natural product of macrolides, an mTOR inhibitor with specificity (HEK293 cells: IC50=0.1 nM). Rapamycin has immunosuppressive activity and induces autophagy.

ElteN378 is a highly potent synthetic inhibitor of FKBP12 with Ki of 0.5 nM, a low atomic weight ligand with affinity comparable to that of the macrolide Rapamycin.

Rapamycin is a potent and specific mTOR inhibitor that suppresses mTOR in HEK293 cells with an IC50 of 0.1 nM. It binds to FKBP12, thereby inhibiting mTORC1. Additionally, Rapamycin serves as an autophagy (autophagy) activator and functions as an immunosuppressant.
