    THC treatment Tetrahydocurcumin extends the lifespan and reduces oxidative stress in male and female fruit flies. THC extends lifespan of Drosophila and inhibits the oxidative stress response by regulating *FOXO* and *Sir2* [22156377]. Fly
    concA treatment The specific V-ATPase inhibitor concanatmycin A (concA) blocks VMA1 or VPH2 overexpression mutations ability to produce normal, tubular mitochondria. Treatment of young cells causes vacuolar acidity and loss of mitochondrial depolarization. Loss of ΔΨ is followed by mitochondrial fragmentation and aggregation that resembles mitochondrial phenotypes present in aged cells [23172144]. Yeast
    Cynomorium songaricum supplementation The yang-tonifying herbal medicine cynomorium songaricum Repr. (CS) supplementation to the diet extends both the mean and the maximum lifespan of adult females, but insignificantly that of males. In females, maximum lifespan (determined by the 90th survival percentile) is increased by up to 11.4% with 10 mg/mL CS and 5.7% with both 20 and 30 mg/mL Cs. Mean lifespan is significantly extended by 15, 18 and 11% upon treatment with 10, 20, and 30 mg/mL CS, respectively (all P <0.001). Increased lifespan by CS is correlated with higher resistance to oxidative stress and starvation and lower lipid hydroxyperoxids levels as well as accompanied by beneficial effects, such as improved mating readiness, increased fecundity, and suppresion of age-related learning impairment in aged animals [22844336]. Fly +11 to +18 +5.7 to +11.4
    Wortmannin treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with 0.5 micromolar wortmannin increases median (by 5%) and maximum (by 39%) lifespan in males (p < 0.001), but the lifespan differences in females were statistical insignificant (p > 0.05) [22661237]. Low dose of wortmannin (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +5 +39
    LY294002 treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with 5 micromolar LY294002 increases median (by 14%) and maximum (by 16-22%) lifespan (p<0.001) in females and males, respectively [22661237]. Low dose of LY294002 (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +14 +16 to +22
    PDTC treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with PDTC increases median (by 11-13%) and maximum (by 11-14%) lifespan in females and males, respectively [22661237]. Fly +11 to +13 +11 to +14
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment of Drosophila imago with rapamycin induces increases of median (by 5-6%) lifespan (p < 0.01) in males and females, respectively and increase of maximum lifespan (by 33%) in females (p < 0.01) [22661237]. Low dose of LY294002 (5 microM) slightly increase the median and maximum lifespan [20017609]. Fly +5 to +6 +33
    (-)-epicatechin treatment Treatment with (-)-epidcatechin do no extend lifespan [20717869]. Worm
    Spermidine treatment Treatment with 0.2 mM spermidine extends mean and maximum lifespan of wild-type by 16 and 13% significantly (<0.005) as well as the mean and maximum lifespan in sir-2.1(ok434) by 12 and 11% significantly (<0.01). Worm +16 +13
    DMSO treatment Treatment with 0.5 and 2% DMSO increases lifespan by 24.4 and 23.0%, respectively. 0.5% DMSO does not affect progeny number or lifespan under thermal stress. Treatment with 0.5% DMSO enhances the mRNA levels of hsp-16.2, hsp-70, lys-7, old-1, and sod-5 by 2.5, 2.9, 1.3, 2.3, and 4.5-fold, respectively, as well as the protein level of lys-7 by 1.5-fold. Lifespan extension confered by DMSO depends on sir-2.1 and daf-16 but not on eat-2 or hsf-1 [20828537]. Worm +23.0 to +24.4
    Vitamin C treatment Treatment with 1 mM vitamin C has no effect on lifespan of wild-type, but significantly shortens the lifespan of both isp-1 and muo-6 mutants [21151885]. Supplementation with vitamin C normalizes the median lifespan of wnr-1 and mir-124 mutants, which both exhibit premature aging [23075628]. Worm
    NAC treatment Treatment with 10 mM of NAC has no effect on the lifespan of wild-type, but fully abolishes the increased longevity of nuo-6 and severly limits that of isp-1. At high concentration (> 10-15 nM) NAC can be become deleteroius even on the wild-type [21151885]. Worm
    Apply polyphenol treatment Treatment with 100 microgram/mL apple polyphenol increases mean lifespan of wild-type N2 and FEM-1 by 12.0 and 5.3%, respectively [20717869]. Worm +5.3 to 12.0
    DATS treatment Treatment with 5-10 μM DATS increases lifespan even when treatment is started during young adulthood. DATS increases the lifespan of daf-2 and daf-16 mutants, but not that of eat-2 mutants. DATS treatment leads to the induction of the skn-1 target gene gst-4 and this induction is dependent on skn-1. DATS effect on lifespan is dependent on skn-1 activity in both intestine and ASI neurons [21296648]. Fly
    Procyanidin treatment Treatment with 65 microgram/mL Procyanidins from apple extends the lifespan of N2 and FEM-1 by 12.1 to 8.4%, respectively and does not modify grwoth, food intake of fecundity. Procyanidin treatment has no effect on mev-1 or sir-2.1 mutants [20717869]. Worm +8.4 to +12.1
    Beauveriolide I treatment Treatment with beauveriolide I (20 microgram/mL) extends chronological lifespan in BY4741 by around 50% [22790951]. Yeast +50
    DDS treatment Treatment with DDS either for the entire lifetime or only during the adult period after the L4 stage extends significantly increases mean and maximum lifespan [20974969] DDS causes the delay of aging, reduces lipofuscin accumulation and decreases the level of a mitochondrial complex as well as lowers oxygen consumption and enhances oxidative stress resistance [20974969]. DDS-conferred lifespan extension is independent of daf-16 and DR (eat-2 mutants) [20974969]. Worm
    Minocycline treatment Treatment with minocycline (0.87mM) prolongs mean, median and maximum lifespan of wild-type (Oregon strain) of both genders. In females mincocycline extend mean and maximum lifespan by 57 and 78%, respectively. In males minocycline results in a mean and maximum lifespan extension by 114 and 28%, respectively [23185716]. Fly +57.1 to +114.3 +28.1 to +78.3
    NAM treatment Treatment with NAM reduces mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 28 and 37%. NAM treatment blocks the lifespan extending effect of rapamycn [20947565]. Yeast -28 -37
    NAM treatment Treatment with NAM significantly decreases adult lifespan [17335870]. Worm
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment with rapamcyin increases mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 19 and 16% Rapamycin fails to extend the lifespan of sir2 mutants or NAM treated wild-type cells [20947565]. Rapamcyin treatment increases mean chronological lifespan by by approximately by 80% in BY4742 [22790951]. Rapamycin extends chronological lifespan proportional with increasing concentrations from 100 pg/mL to 1 ng/mL [16418483] Yeast +19 to +50 +16
    Rapamycin treatment Treatment with rapamcyin increases mean, median, 75th %ile and maximum lifespan by 19-29, 17-29, 24-32 an 19%, respectively on OP50. On HT115 rapamycyin extends mean, median and 75th %ile of lifespan by 8-36, 4-46 and 12-44%, respectively. Rapamycin robustly increases lifespan in two daf-16 mutants (mgDf47 and mu86) with or without FUdR and with growth on either the standard strain OP50 or the feeding RNAi strain HT115 [22560223]. Worm +8 to +29 +4 to +46 +19
    Simvastin treatment Treatment with simvastin significantly increases the mean and maximum lifespan and enhances cardiac function in aging animals by significantly reducing heart arrhythmias and increasing the contraction proportion o the contraction/relaxation cycle [22737247]. Fly
    Trehalose treatment Treatment with trehalose reduces neurodegeneration in a transgenic mouse model of taupathy (human mutant P301S tau mouse. Neuronal survival is evaluated by trehalose. Trehalose induces autophagy in the brain, where the number of neurons containing tau inclusions is significantly reduced as well as the amount of insoluble tau protein and the protein levels of p62. However, trehalose fails to activate autophagy in the spinal cord, where it has no impact on the level of sarkosyl-insoluble tau. Trehalose has also no effect on the motor impairment of human mutant P301S tau transgenic mice [22689910]. Mouse
    Trehalose treatment Treatment with trehalose starting from the young-adult stage extends the mean lifespan by over 30% without any side effects. Trehalose treatment starting even from the old-adult stage shortly thereafter retards the age-associated decline in survivorship and extends the remaining lifespan by 60%. Lifespan extension by trehalose lowers the age-independent vulnerability. Trehalose increases reproductive span and retards the age-associated decrease in pharyngeal-pumping rate and the accumulation of lipofuscin autofluorescence as well as enhances thermotolerance and reduces polyglutamine. The lifespan extending effect of trehalose is abolished in daf-2 mutants [20477758]. Worm +30 to +60
