Which drug is an mTOR kinase inhibitor used in the context of transplantation?

  1. Cyclosporine

  2. Mycophenolate mofetil

  3. Everolimus

  4. Basiliximab

The correct answer is: Everolimus

Everolimus is an mTOR kinase inhibitor used in the context of transplantation. Cyclosporine and basiliximab work by suppressing the immune system, whereas mycophenolate mofetil is an immunosuppressant that works by inhibiting the production of DNA in immune cells. Although these options are commonly used in transplantation, they are not mTOR kinase inhibitors. Therefore, they are not the correct answer.
