Novel Flavonoid Senotherapeutics Identified by Phenotypic Drug Discovery Reduce Senescence and Improve Multiple Markers of Healthspan
Key Takeaways
  • Phenotypic drug screening identified multiple novel flavonoid compounds with senotherapeutic activity in cell assays.
  • Lead flavonoids reduced established senescence markers and proinflammatory SASP factors in treated cell models.
  • Treatment improved multiple organismal healthspan markers in preclinical models without reported acute toxicity.
