Life-Extension Drugs

Dear All,

I would greatly appreciate your advice, please, on any recent review of life-extension drugs, when applied to animal models (mice, rats, etc.).

Specifically, what are the typical effect sizes for these drugs in terms of percent increase in median lifespan (50% survival time)?

Are there some typical examples of drugs for the following specific life-extension patterns:

1. Improving the early survival only ("rectangularization" of the survival curve).
Also when/if this happens, is there a delay in onset of any other symptoms of aging?

2. Improving survival at all ages (parallel shift of the survival curve to older ages).

3. Improving the old-age survival only ("de-rectangularization" of the survival curve).

Please advise, by posting your comments here.

Thank you!
