An Interplay Between Autophagy and Immunometabolism for Host Defense Against Mycobacterial Infection

The many faces of mTOR and rapamycinBesides rapamycin itself, a number of other substances to varying degrees also inhibit mTOR signaling. Some of the newer substances are reported in publications such as (2008) A new pharmacologic action of CCI-779 involves FKBP12-independent inhibition of mTOR kinase activity and profound repression of global protein synthesis, (2008) Palomid 529, a novel small-molecule drug, is a TORC1/TORC2 inhibitor that reduces tumor growth, tumor angiogenesis, and vascular permeability, (2009) Ku-0063794 is a specific inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTO and (2009) Active-site inhibitors of mTOR target rapamycin-resistant outputs of mTORC1 and mTORC2. Some of these alternative substances are selective in whether they affect mTORC1 or mTORC2. And they may vary also in toxicity and secondary effects.
