摘要: Novel compounds are described which decrease the intracellular levels of leucine and methionine. Treatment with these amino acid depletion agents affects many metabolic and life processes which rely upon methionine, leucine and their derivatives. Methionine depletion not only inhibits protein synthesis, but also polyamine biosynthesis and significantly reduces intracellular pools of the native polyamines, spermidine and spermine. Since methionine restriction has been shown to mimic caloric restriction in life extension studies across multiple species, these compounds are also expected to extend lifespan by limiting methionine supply.
