LONGECITY

Does rifampicin increase mammalian longevity? Does anybody know because I would like to add it to my rapamycin regime.

"The authors started by identifying well known mechanisms for lifespan extension based on a literature review. Then they looked for drugs that influence these mechanisms and had previously been found to extend lifespan leading to the selection of 12 compounds for testing in this study. Next the researchers tested these compounds in roundworms, a common model organism in aging research. When tested in isolation five drugs significantly extended mean and maximal lifespan: Psora-4, rifampicin, rapamycin, metformin, and allantoin"

Yes I've seen this study. However does anyone know if this longevity effect also works in mammals.

Not sure, e.g. it does not show yet on geroprotectors.org which I assume is a good database space to keep watching.

3 entries for rifampicin in the geroprotectors.org but 10 in DrugAge : http://genomics.sene...arch=rifampicin

All on C. elegans. (DrugAge).

Is there any stablished safety protocol for antiaging purposes with this?

Sure- filed in the same section with instructions for transmuting lead to gold.
