drug that inhibits mTOR to suppress immune response

Rapamycin, also known as Sirolimus, is a drug originally discovered in soil bacteria from Easter Island. It is primarily used as an immunosuppressant to prevent organ transplant rejection and has shown potential in extending lifespan and treating certain diseases by inhibiting a protein called mTOR, which regulates cell growth and metabolism.
