Drugs that can stop aging and prolong average life expectancy of a person up to 150 years, tested the largest pharmaceutical giants of the world. They say that in five years there will be drugs on the market that will treat one disease and at the same time warn another 20. All substances represent are synthetic versions of resveratrol, a component of red wine, to which scientists have been attributing wonderful properties for many years. On the in fact, it enhances the expression of the gene responsible for SIRT1 protein production. Scientists have not yet fully decided which resveratrol acts on the SIRT1 protein (enzyme). However it’s known that the gene responsible for its production is turned on, when a person performs physical exercises and shortens calorie intake. Pharmacists believe that you can “activate” SIRT1 if synthetic substitutes are introduced into the body resveratrol (they are more effective). Today about 4 thousand such compounds are known, three were selected for testing of them. Pharmaceutical giants like GlaxoSmithKline are testing synthetic resveratrol substitutes on patients who are being treated from cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other diseases. Studies have shown that one single anti-aging enzyme can prevent diseases associated with the aging of the body, and extend human life. Now, according to DailyMail, held Checking 117 drugs. They all work on one enzyme. Subsequently, such work may lead to a whole class of drugs that will ultimately help overcome malignant tumors, Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes. As Professor David Sinclair writes in an article in the journal Science Sinclair) from Harvard: “These drugs will treat one disease and prevent the emergence of another 20 others. As a result, they will slow down aging. “Probably in the future there will be either pills, or cream (and, most likely, both of them), which will allow fight diseases and skin aging. And, if now they are prescribed at detection of the disease, then in the future they may become preventive measure. We add that previous studies have shown: mice, obese, getting synthetic resveratrol could run twice as far as their brothers eating no additives. Also duration the life of rodents of the first group was 15% longer. If like the results will be achieved in clinical trials – it will be a major breakthrough in medicine. “While we are trying to understand, get whether any benefits from taking resveratrol substitutes are healthy people. We can say that we got encouraging results. Aging no longer seems to us such an irreversible process as earlier. Some of us can live up to 150 years, but it will take more a lot of research, “concludes Sinclair.
