[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a method for purifying rapamycin from fermentation broth. Background technique
[0002] Rapamycin (RPM, RAPA), also known as Sirolimus, is a triene macrolide compound composed of 31-membered rings, containing special α, β-diketopipexamine Molecularly masked hemicarboxyketones with the formula C 51 h 79 o 13 , the molecular weight is 991KD. It was isolated from Strepomyces hygroscopicus in 1975 by the Ayerst Research Institute in Canada.
[0003] Vezinia found that it has anti-fungal effect in 1975, and later Tanaka and others found that it is a promising immunosuppressant and has anti-tumor effect. Studies by Tanaka et al. have shown that rapamycin has a strong anti-graft rejection reaction, can synergize with cyclosporine to prolong the survival time of grafts, reverse ongoing transplant rejection, and prevent and treat experimental autohemolytic anemia rol...
