Sirolimus [Mass/volume] in DBS
Active
Term Description
Dried blood spot (DBS) specimens have been used for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) across several classes of drugs including antimicrobials, anticonvulsants and immunosuppressants. DBS specimens are useful for TDM in infants and children due to the small sample volume required. DBS specimens are also useful for outpatient TDM in adults who have been trained to collect their own DBS because most analytes are relatively stable in DBS and the DBS card does not require specialized transportation.

Part Description
LP21368-3 Sirolimus
Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, is a macrolide compound that inhibits lymphocyte proliferation and is used as an immunosuppressant to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. It inhibits T-cell activation and proliferation by inhibiting the response to interleukin 2 (IL-2). Its mode of action differs from that of other immunosuppressants (SN Sehga, Clin Biochem, 31:335, 1998) most notably by not being a calcineurin inhibitor. Its inhibitory action is mediated via a cytosolic protein, FK-binding protein 12. Sirolimus is variably absorbed; levels need to monitored to achieve the therapeutic target while avoiding toxic levels. Sirolimus is marketed under the trade name Rapamune.
