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 | — | — | — |
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 | — | — | — |
Trichostatin A supplementation | Histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) extends the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster by promoting the hsp22 gene transcription, and affecting the chromatin morphology at the locus of hsp22 gene along the polytene chromosome [15346199].
hsp70 and hsp22 RNA levels are higher in long-lived than in short-lived fly lines. The HDAC inhibitor TSA causes a higher expression of hsp22 and hsp70, and strikingly influences the lifespan in both long and short-lived lines, with variable degrees (up to 25%) [15695762]. | Fly | +25 | — | — |
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 |
