Scientists have inched closer to " genuine anti-aging " pill with the discovery of an " elixir of life " biochemical, according to a study published in the journal Nature. The wonder pill could extend the lifespan of people by upto 23 years.
The " elixir of life " anti-aging drug was made from a compound found in the soil on Easter Island - one of the most remote places on the Earth - which is created by a microbe living in the soil.
Experts have been clamouring for years to unlock the secret of eternal youth. But now researchers have been able to stop cells aging by using the compound to block damaging proteins responsible for the process. It is hoped that the findings could lead to the creation of drugs that dramatically slow down aging, allowing people to be healthier for longer, reports the Daily Express of UK. The Easter Island compound - called rapamycin after the island's Polynesian name Rapa Nui - was found to extend expected lifespan by 38% when tested on mice.
Arlan Richardson, director of the Barshop Institute, said: "i've been in aging research for 35 years & there have so many called 'anti aging' interventions over those years that were never successful. I never thought we would find an anti-aging pill for people in my lifetime. Rapamycin shows a great deal of promise to do just that."
The drug is currently used to supress immune systems of patients who have had transplant operations to stop their bodies rejecting organs. It is also used in heart operations & is being tested for its anti-cancer properties. Although it is not yet suitable for use on people, expert say it opens the door to the first generation of pills that will extended lifespan.
The latest anti-aging experiments found that adding rapamycin to the diet of older mice increased their lifespan. Scientists tested 2,000 laboratory mice aged around 600 days old - roughly to equivalent to 60 year old person. About one quarter were given a normal diet while the others were given the drug. Once treatment began, it was found to extend the females' life expectancy by 38% & male by 28%.
