Local delivery of rapamycin: a toxicity and efficacy study in an experimental malignant glioma model in rats.

We examined the cytotoxicity of rapamycin against a rodent glioma cell line, determined the toxicity of rapamycin when delivered intracranially, and investigated the efficacy of local delivery of rapamycin for the treatment of experimental malignant glioma in vivo.
