Answer: AgeXtend
Notes: Researchers at IIIT-Delhi developed AgeXtend, an AI-powered platform to discover molecules that slow ageing and promote healthier lives. AgeXtend uses bioactivity data from geroprotectors to predict new molecules with anti-ageing properties. Its AI modules evaluate geroprotective potential, toxicity, target proteins, and mechanisms of action for safe and accurate discovery. It successfully identified benefits of known compounds like metformin and taurine during testing. AgeXtend screened over 1.1 billion compounds and validated promising candidates using yeast, nematodes, and human cell models. It also analyzed natural compounds in the human microbiome and their role in controlling cell ageing.
