UPDATE:
The lifespan results for 150uM and 500uM are finally out. Unfortunately it isn’t good.
It may be that between 150uM and 500uM is the sweet spot but for now we’re going to move on from worms.
So What Now For IPAM?
The compound IPAM has been registered on the DeSci crypto platform Pump Science which uses trading fees to fund worm, fly, mouse and human studies for lifespan and other effects.
The worm study on Pump Science yielded approximately 10% lifespan increase at 30uM. While modest it is interesting to see. It is not the impressive 268% we saw in rotifers.
But what is important here is data, and where we plan to go forward with the molecule.
I’m not the person who made the token, but I’m working in collaboration with the token creator to help push this molecule forward properly because I think it deserves it.
It may be that it performs well in rotifers, terrible in worms and will perform decently in flies and higher.
Luckily with the way Pump Science is structured I no longer need to ask you to donate money to fund these studies, because I honestly would not expect many people to put money into something with these results and I wouldn’t blame you for refusing.
In addition to lifespan effects I’m sure you’ve seen my interest in healthspan effects and other benefits that IPAM may have for humans. I’m in contact with people at Pump Science and it is indeed possible for some interesting studies to be funded using the platform, but I think focusing on getting lifespan data in these other species first is paramount.
If there were any particular things people are interested in seeing please comment below. I’m personally interested in seeing its ability to youthen the skin, as well as its potential for hair regrowth/hair loss remedy. But there is also performance enhancing, fertility and more.
I’m planning on doing an X Space with the token creator at some point discussing the compound, the results and the future of it. I’ve also requested to do a similar discussion with someone from Ora Biomedical as well as Burkhard Poeggeler who did the original 2010 rotifer lifespan study.
I appreciate everyone at Rapamycin News donating to this study. It was really inspirational to see people work together to make this happen.
If anyone has any questions they would like to have asked by me to these guests in these X Spaces please post them below.
