Dasatinib
SaveA multi-kinase inhibitor FDA-approved for chronic myeloid leukemia and Ph+ ALL. Investigated in combination with quercetin as a senolytic regimen to clear senescent cells.
Quick verdict
Well-established oncology drug. The dasatinib + quercetin senolytic combination shows promise in early human trials for age-related conditions, but longevity data is preliminary.
Evidence score
A rough internal score reflecting quantity, quality, and consistency of human evidence. Not a clinical recommendation.
What the research shows
Robust Phase III oncology data for CML and ALL. Senolytic research: the D+Q combination cleared senescent cells and improved physical function in open-label trials of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and diabetic kidney disease. Mechanism involves inhibition of survival pathways (BCR-ABL, SRC family, ephrin receptors) that senescent cells depend on.
Benefits
- FDA-approved for CML and Ph+ ALL
- Demonstrated senescent cell clearance in early human trials
- Improved physical function in senolytic pilot studies
Dosage notes
Oncology: 100–140 mg/day. Senolytic protocol: 100 mg dasatinib + 1000 mg quercetin for 3 consecutive days per month (investigational).
Side effects
- Pleural effusion
- Myelosuppression
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension
Who should be cautious
Serious oncology-grade side effects including pleural effusion, myelosuppression, and pulmonary hypertension. Senolytic dosing is intermittent but still carries risk. Not for unsupervised self-experimentation.
What this page cannot tell you
Senolytic trials are small, open-label, and short-term. Using a chemotherapy agent for anti-aging requires careful risk-benefit analysis.
