Mechanism of action

Sirolimus (rapamycin) is an mTOR inhibitor that blocks T-cell and B-cell proliferation by preventing progression through the cell cycle. When delivered percutaneously, it achieves local immunosuppressive effects at the site of application while minimizing systemic exposure. This mechanism makes it suitable for localized inflammatory or proliferative skin conditions.
