The University of Texas Health Science Center and the Southwest Research Institute have licensed new uses for a drug that has shown it can slow the aging process to a San Antonio startup biotechnology company.
The company, Rapamycin Holdings Inc., takes its name from the drug rapamycin, which has long been federally approved to suppress organ rejection in transplant recipients.
Rapamycin Holdings hopes to one day commercialize the drug for anti-aging purposes.
Instead of accepting physical and cognitive decline, we're looking for answers and solutions, said Rapamycin Holdings CEO George Fillis. Hopefully, the answer will be to extend healthy human life.
Terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed.
So far, Rapamycin Holdings has raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding to conduct a series of analytical tests to determine how the drug performs on a therapeutic level in the bloodstream, Fillis said.
The Texas Technology Development Center, or T3DC, and the Texas Research & Technology Foundation, are among the organizations that provided investment capital to the company.
Rapamycin Holdings plans to raise an additional $6 million once it nears Phase 1 clinical trials for its first drug product.
Z. Dave Sharp, a professor of molecular medicine at the health science center, in 2004 conceived the project to slow the aging process.
The federal government later awarded about $5 million in stimulus money to the health science center to study rapamycin and its anti-aging effects in mice.

The San Antonio Astronomical Association invites you to participate in all of its public astronomy events. It's free, and you can view the calendar at http://www.sanantonioastronomy.org.
With only a few nights left before we say adios to August, let's bid adieu with a couple of nice International Space Station passes.
Look toward the northwest at 9:05 Tuesday night for a bright, moving speck of light.
The ISS will fly just behind the bowl of the Big Dipper and then arc high overhead to an easy spot near the bright star Vega a little after 9:07 p.m.
This is space station viewing at its best since the pass takes it to a vanishing point above the moon at 9:09 p.m.
While you're out admiring the station, check out Mars and Saturn with Spica in the southwest. This dynamic trio has done a very cool dance of cosmic musical chairs the past few weeks with Mars confusing the game with some sort of Chinese fire drill.
Mars just can't seem to stay put and has been moving between Saturn and Spica like a restless preschooler.
Mars currently sits high above and left of Saturn while Spica rests calmly below.
The last night of August treats us to another ISS pass at 8:57 p.m.

Sep. 12, 2013 NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft officially is the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The 36-year-old probe is about 12 billion miles (19 billion kilometers) from our sun.
New and unexpected data indicate Voyager 1 has been traveling for about one year through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars. Voyager is in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble, where some effects from our sun are still evident. A report on the analysis of this new data, an effort led by Don Gurnett and the plasma wave science team at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, is published in Thursday's edition of the journal Science.
"Now that we have new, key data, we believe this is mankind's historic leap into interstellar space," said Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. "The Voyager team needed time to analyze those observations and make sense of them. But we can now answer the question we've all been asking -- 'Are we there yet?' Yes, we are."
Voyager 1 first detected the increased pressure of interstellar space on the heliosphere, the bubble of charged particles surrounding the sun that reaches far beyond the outer planets, in 2004. Scientists then ramped up their search for evidence of the spacecraft's interstellar arrival, knowing the data analysis and interpretation could take months or years.
Voyager 1 does not have a working plasma sensor, so scientists needed a different way to measure the spacecraft's plasma environment to make a definitive determination of its location. A coronal mass ejection, or a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields, that erupted from the sun in March 2012 provided scientists the data they needed. When this unexpected gift from the sun eventually arrived at Voyager 1's location 13 months later, in April 2013, the plasma around the spacecraft began to vibrate like a violin string. On April 9, Voyager 1's plasma wave instrument detected the movement. The pitch of the oscillations helped scientists determine the density of the plasma. The particular oscillations meant the spacecraft was bathed in plasma more than 40 times denser than what they had encountered in the outer layer of the heliosphere. Density of this sort is to be expected in interstellar space.
The plasma wave science team reviewed its data and found an earlier, fainter set of oscillations in October and November 2012. Through extrapolation of measured plasma densities from both events, the team determined Voyager 1 first entered interstellar space in August 2012.
"We literally jumped out of our seats when we saw these oscillations in our data -- they showed us the spacecraft was in an entirely new region, comparable to what was expected in interstellar space, and totally different than in the solar bubble," Gurnett said. "Clearly we had passed through the heliopause, which is the long-hypothesized boundary between the solar plasma and the interstellar plasma."
The new plasma data suggested a timeframe consistent with abrupt, durable changes in the density of energetic particles that were first detected on Aug. 25, 2012. The Voyager team generally accepts this date as the date of interstellar arrival. The charged particle and plasma changes were what would have been expected during a crossing of the heliopause.
"The team's hard work to build durable spacecraft and carefully manage the Voyager spacecraft's limited resources paid off in another first for NASA and humanity," said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We expect the fields and particles science instruments on Voyager will continue to send back data through at least 2020. We can't wait to see what the Voyager instruments show us next about deep space."
Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, were launched 16 days apart in 1977. Both spacecraft flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 also flew by Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2, launched before Voyager 1, is the longest continuously operated spacecraft. It is about 9.5 billion miles (15 billion kilometers) away from our sun.

Editor's Note: The news is out, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has left the solar system and has entered interstellar space.It's Official! Voyager 1 Spacecraft Has Left Solar System
More Voyager News:
NASA says it will hold a press conference today (Sept. 12) to discuss an apparently new development with the agency's two far-flung Voyager spacecraft at the edge of the solar system, and you can watch the announcement live online.
The Voyager mission press conference will begin at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) and be hosted at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C. You can watch NASA's Voyager announcement live on SPACE.com here, courtesy of NASA TV. The announcement does not indicate if it is about the Voyager 1 mission or Voyager 2 mission, both launched in 1977.
According to NASA's advisory, today's announcement "is related to a paper to be published in the journal Science," and the discovery is embargoed until 2 p.m. EDT. NASA has invited the public to ask questions via Twitter using the agency's #AskNASA hashtag.
NASA has two Voyager spacecaft currently on their way out of the solar system.
NASA'sVoyager 1spacecraft is the farthest manmade object from Earth. The probe launched on Sept. 5, 1977and is currently about 11.6 billion miles (18.7 billion kilometers) from Earth. The spacecraft, like its twin Voyager 2, runs on a nuclear power source, which has allowed it to continue operating for just over 36 years.
A long-standing mystery is whether Voyager 1 is still on the edge of the solar system, or actually in interstellar space. For years, Voyager 1 has been traversing a boundary layer of the solar system known as the heliopause as it exits the solar system.
In August, scientists not involved in the Voyager mission published a study suggesting Voyager 1 left the solar system in 2012 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. But NASA's Voyager 1 mission team and other researchers have said that their data indicated Voyager 1 was still plying through a strange transition zone at the fringe of our solar system.
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 launched on a so-called "grand tour" of the solar system that ultimately sent the spacecraft on unprecedented flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
