Figure 5From: Rapamycin weekly maintenance dosing and the potential efficacy of combination sorafenib plus rapamycin but not atorvastatin or doxycycline in tuberous sclerosis preclinical modelsSorafenib, atorvastatin and doxycycline do not affect whole blood rapamycin levels in nude mice bearing Tsc2-/- tumors. (a) Tumor rapamycin levels from rapamycin treated group (n = 5) and sorafenib plus rapamycin combination treated group (n = 4). (b) Whole blood rapamycin levels from rapamycin treated group (n = 8), atorvastatin plus rapamycin combination treated group (n = 8) and doxycycline plus rapamycin combination treated group (n = 8). Rapamycin levels were measured 24 hours after the last dose of rapamycin for all groups.Back to article page
