Overview<\/span>

What Rapamycin is<\/h2>

Rapamycin (sirolimus) is an inhibitor of mTOR, a key regulator of cell growth. It is authorized as an immunosuppressant to prevent organ rejection after kidney transplantation. Its role in aging is an area of research; there is no authorized indication for longevity.<\/p>

Suitability and dosing are decided by a prescriber on the basis of the approved product information.<\/p><\/section>\n

How it works<\/span>

mTOR inhibition: authorized uses and research<\/em><\/h2>

Sirolimus inhibits mTOR, a protein that regulates cell growth and proliferation. In the immune system this blocks the proliferation of T cells, which is why it is used to prevent rejection after kidney transplantation.<\/p>

Research<\/b>Lifespan effects in animal studies; no proven benefit for human aging.<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Interest in aging comes largely from animal studies, such as the extension of lifespan in mice.1<\/a><\/sup> These findings have not been shown to apply to people.<\/p><\/section>\n
