Six major anti-aging drugs and their related signal pathways,

From Longevity Wiki

Six major anti-aging drugs and their related signal pathways (with 6 circuit illustrations) according to Nannan Du et al. and Qiang Sun:[1]

  1. . Rapamycin and the Aging-Related mTOR Signal Pathway
  2. . Metformin and the Aging-Related AMPK Signal Pathway
  3. . Acarbose and Aging-Related Nutrient Signal Pathways
  4. . NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and the Aging-Related SIRT1 Signal Pathway
  5. . Lithium and Telomeres Length Regulation
  6. . NSAIDs (Aspirin ets) and the Aging-Related Energy Metabolism
  7. . ACE inhibitors: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors decrease the formation of angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictor, and increase the level of bradykinin, a peptide vasodilator. Medication used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure. Analysis indicated that the lifespan effects of Captopril are additive to other known life-extending interventions (and genes), including the insulin/IGF-1 pathway (age-1 and daf-2), caloric restriction (eat-2), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase (sir-2.1), heat shock (hsf-1), and mitochondria insufficiency (isp-1).[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
  8. . SGLT2 inhibitors: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are diabetes drugs that help lower a person's blood sugar by pushing more glucose out of their body in urine. In anti-aging research in mice SGLT2s have been shown to extend lifespan.[9]

We added the last two drugs to the list based on the fact that they can significantly prolong the life of laboratory animals.
