Description

General description

Temsirolimus is an esterified rapamycin compound, soluble in water.

Application

Temsirolimus has been used:

• in combination with radiation to study its effect on von Hippel Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor gene-deficient renal carcinoma cell lines
• to induce autophagy
• as a mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibitor to study the effect of cellular Akt-kinase on human papillomaviruses 16 (HPV16) late gene expression

Biochem/physiol Actions

Temsirolimus is a specific inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) mTOR Complex 1 (mTORC1). Temsirolimus is an antiproliferative and antiangiogenic, the first-in-class mTOR inhibitor approved for the treatment of patients with advanced poor prognosis renal cell carcinoma.

Temsirolimus is an antiproliferative and antiangiogenic mTORC1 inhibitor.

The inhibitory action of temsirolimus is mediated by FKBP-12 (FK506-binding protein 12), a major intracellular protein. It is useful in treating renal-cell carcinoma.
