CARDIOPROTECTIVE AND OTHER USES OF MAMMALIAN TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (M-TOR) INHIBITORS

摘要

Novel uses of rapamycin include, e.g., the preconditioning-like effect of rapamycin against infarction in the intact heart as well against necrosis and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Other uses, especially in post-heart attack patients and other patients at risk of ischemia/reperfusion injury, are disclosed for rapamycin and other m-TOR inhibitors.
