Rapamycin is arguably the best of the many calorie restriction mimetic small molecules, treatments that can provoke some of the sweeping, favorable metabolic and cellular changes produced by a reduction in calorie intake. The data showing a modest slowing of aging in mice with rapamycin treatment is robust and well replicated, albeit only producing a 5-10% extension of life span, much less than has been shown to be possible via forms of calorie restriction.
