Senolitico

With the advent of senolytic agents, capable of selectively removing senescent cells in “aged” tissues, the perception of age-associated diseases has changed from being an inevitable to a preventable phenomenon of human life. The present invention is part of this research topic with the identification of molecules with potential pro-apoptotic activity, specifically with senolytic activity. The computational approach adopted, is based on combining ligand-base and structure-based virtual screening.
