- Product Overview:
Umirolimus is a semisynthetic macrocyclic lactone and a derivative of rapamycin (Item No. 13346) that has immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects.{36314} It halts the cell cycle at the G1 phase through an IL-2/mTOR-mediated pathway and inhibits proliferation of human smooth muscle cells. In a porcine overstretch model, coronary stents containing umirolimus for localized delivery to the vessel wall reduced stenosis by 50% and led to less thickening of the vessel wall than a bare metal stent. Rapamycin, and likely its derivatives, binds to the cytosolic FK-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Formulations containing umirolimus have been used in coronary stents for localized delivery to the vessel wall.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
