I don’t know of any that are available. Figure 11 in this study shows a few compounds that have been studied besides ALT-711.

Unluckily for us Rifampicin is hepatotoxic. Has anyone tried it?

Any other way to fight AGEs? In this podcast the researcher commented they were successful in reverting arterial stiffness with alagebrium. But it was a weak effect. Maybe we need a lifelong dosis?

I can’t find the reference now as it was so long ago but already looked into it and low doses were not hepatoxic. Also my main interest would be in snorting it or nebulizing it with a brain safe solvent — need to look into the pharmacology of it, what it’s soluble in, etc. and hopefully I don’t have to skunk work it as last time I checked researchers were already working on trials with intranasal delivery.

You are totally right! Nasal delivery prevents liver enzime from rising and you also need a much smaller dose.

Medilabo RFP is the company that it’s starting human trials. Funny that resveratrol is coming back to the scene:

Are you planning on taking it?

It’s on the horizon for me over the next few years but not right away. I’d have to do a lot more research as to how best take it. If there were an intranasal spray of it already on the market from a pharmaceutical company I’d take it asap.

AAA enhancement in diabetic mice by aminoguanidine or alagebrium treatment promoted elastin degradation, smooth muscle cell depletion, mural macrophage accumulation, and neoangiogenesis without affecting matrix metalloproteinases,

This means that the breakdown of glucosepane cross-links can potentially be harmful because these cross-links have already become an integral part of the tissues. Their removal may disrupt the structure and function of the tissues, which could lead to dangerous consequences such as weakened blood vessels and organ damage.
