Rapamycin 1, FK506 2, and FK520 3 are biogenetically related natural products which are synthesized by mixed polyketide synthase (PKS)/nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) systems and which possess potent antifungal and immunosuppressive activities. Compounds 1–3 possess a common structural motif which is responsible for their specific binding to FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs). This binding triggers the subsequent binding of the binary complex to a downstream protein target, either mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) or calcineurin (FK506, FK520) which mediate their biological effects.[1] Inhibition of mTOR by
