Recent evidence has highlighted the pivotal roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the SIRT1, AMPK, and mTOR signaling pathways in aging and longevity, making them attractive targets for studies of lifespan-extending interventions. We previously demonstrated that 1,1-diethoxyethane (1,1-DEE) could interact with mitochondrial complex I (NADH–ubiquinone oxidoreductase), leading to transient mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) production and activation of the AMPK pathway. This study further examined the effects of 1,1-DEE on longevity in model organisms. Treatment with 1,1-DEE decreased senescence in endothelial cell EA.hy926. In Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), 1,1-DEE induced a hormetic response and extended the lifespan, whereas its structural isoform, 1,2-diethoxyethane (1,2-DEE), showed no such effect. In rat models, administration of 1,1-DEE markedly improved survival rate, mortality risk, restricted mean survival time (RMST), and median lifespan, associated with an accelerated body weight reduction. Additionally, 1,1-DEE could also enhance learning and memory, as assessed by the Morris water maze test in rats. These findings suggest that 1,1-DEE may serve as a novel small-molecule modulator of mitochondrial function and redox signaling, with potentials for promoting anti-aging and longevity.
