Researchers from Woosuk University and Dankook University in South Korea have found a compound in the Damask rose (Rosa × damascena) that can target the aging process. The study, published in the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, investigated the anti-aging properties of damaurone D (DaD) – a derivative of Damask rose – using animal model Caenorhabditis elegans (roundworm).
The authors concluded that DaD contained longevity benefits and could be further developed into nutraceuticals that target aging and its related diseases.
