Selective anti-cancer agents as anti-aging drugs
Recent groundbreaking discoveries have revealed that IGF-1, Ras, MEK, AMPK, TSC1/2, FOXO, PI3K, mTOR, S6K, and NFκB are involved in the aging process. This is remarkable because the same signaling molecules, oncoproteins and tumor suppressors, are well-known targets for cancer therapy. Furthermore, anti-cancer drugs aimed at some of these targets have been already developed. This arsenal could ...
متن کاملAnti-aging effects of anti-lipolytic drugs.
Genetic disruption of insulin and insulin-like signaling pathways may extend lifespan. Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance may accelerate aging. The hypothesis was tested that a once-a-week life-long inhibition of insulin secretion by the administration of anti-lipolytic drugs might have anti-aging effects. Groups of 3-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were (a) given standard laboratory fo...
متن کاملNatural moieties as promising anti - cancer drugs
There have been a variety of chemical drugs that are being synthesized for cancer treatment. Besides the development of number of therapeutic drugs, cancer is still one of the leading cause for mortality worldwide. One associated reason for high rate of mortality in cancer, is side effects of the existing drug therapy. However recent inventions using natural metabolites have demonstrated the lo...
متن کاملCytolytic viruses as potential anti-cancer agents.
The resistance of cancers to conventional therapies has inspired the search for novel strategies. One such approach, namely gene therapy, is based upon the introduction of genes such as those encoding suicide proteins, tumour suppressor proteins or cytokines into tumour cells by means of a genetic vector. The efficiency with which viruses transfer their genes from one host cell to another has l...
متن کاملEpigenetic drugs: a novel anti-aging strategy?
Aging is a natural phenomenon which is peculiar to all living organisms. However, it is believed by some scientists that senescence could be postponed or prevented by certain approaches. Some dietary ingredients and supplements have been suggested to have anti-aging and life-extending effects. Natural and synthetic dietary supplements including anti-oxidants, vitamins, and hormones are among th...
