  • The current study was conducted to evaluate the lifespan extension effects of leonurine and its synthetic fragmental analogs using Caenohabditis elegans model system. Leonurine significantly prolonged the lifespan of C. elegans in a dose-dependent manner. To dissect the structure-activity relationship between leonurine and lifespan extension activity, seven novel fragmental analogs were synthesized and evaluated. Our study revealed that benzoate part of leonurine is responsible for its lifespan extension property rather than quanidine moiety.
