MK-677 and Rapamycin Interaction

Monitor
Mechanism-based 47% confidence

MK-677 and Rapamycin have an interaction requiring monitoring for interaction with 47% confidence. Both MK-677 and Rapamycin affect insulin sensitivity or blood glucose. Monitor fasting glucose and HbA1c. Consider adding an insulin sensitizer (metformin/berberine). These compounds primarily affect different organ systems.

Compound Profiles

MK-677

Ghrelin Receptor Agonist | Oral Growth Hormone Secretagogue

Selectively binds GHS-R1a receptors in hypothalamus and pituitary, triggering pulsatile growth hormone release while maintaining natural circadian patterns..

Half-life: ~24 hours Typical dose: Start 12.5mg daily, increase to 25mg based on tolerance growth hormone, weight loss, sleep

Rapamycin

mTOR Inhibitor | Longevity & Immunosuppression

Rapamycin exerts its effects by binding to the intracellular protein FKBP12, forming a complex that directly and specifically inhibits mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). mTORC1 is a master nutrient-sensing kinase that integrates signals from growth factors, amino acids, energy status, and stress to regulate cell growth, proliferation, and metabolism.
