Rapamycin (RAPA) is a macrolide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus, an actinomycete that was isolated from a soil sample obtained from the Vai Atore region of Rapa-Nui, the Easter Island (1, 2). RAPA is a 31-membered macrocyclic lactone (molecular weight 914.2, C51H79N013) containing the unusual hemiketal masked [alpha],[beta]-diketo amide moiety (similar to that present in FK506) as well as a larger ring structure with a unique triene segment (Fig. 1 [3]). Alkaline and acid hydrolysis of RAPA yield fragments of unique structure, including L (-) pipecolic acid (piperidine-2-carboxylic acid), which is also present in FK506, and a distinctive, shikimic acid-derived trisubstituted cyclohexane moiety C39-C45 (4). High-field 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of RAPA in solution show two conformational isomers (present in an approximate ratio of 4: 1), produced by trans-cis rotation of an amidic bond at C-15 (4).
