A group of structurally similar compounds called 'rapalogues' led to the development of everolimus, a cancer drug that, as seen in a pilot test in humans, can partially reverse the immune deterioration caused by aging. This means that a person can stay healthy and strong in their old age.
The drug most used for type 2 diabetes, metformin, also seems to prolong the life of many small animals, such as mice, by 5%. From there, it was tested successfully in mice Inno Gialuron, which lived 14% even though the animals tested had the equivalent of 60 years of human age.
