Aging

New drugs that target aging cells: the plant compound fisetin and BCL-XL blocking chemicals A1331852 and A1155463

Updated

Abstract

Fisetin selectively induces apoptosis in senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

  • Senescent cells accumulate with aging and chronic diseases.
  • Senolytics are drugs that promote the death of senescent cells by disabling their survival mechanisms.
  • Fisetin, A1331852, and A1155463 are identified as senolytic agents with potential advantages over existing options.
  • Fisetin induces cell death in senescent HUVECs but does not affect senescent IMR90 cells or primary human preadipocytes.
  • A1331852 and A1155463 are effective in both HUVECs and IMR90 cells, but not in preadipocytes.
  • These agents may present fewer toxicity concerns compared to navitoclax, particularly regarding hematological effects.
