Ascomycin

One of the most societally destablising drugs ever developed, Ascomycin is an anti-agathic, which is to say, it is a drug that prevents or retards aging.

Ascomycin is a drug that confers non-specific immunity. It’s less an anti-biotic than a true endotoxin, and works to prevent nearly any disease from affecting those dosed with it – and a single dose lasts about 70 years.

The mechanism of the drug involves stimulation of the reticulo-endothelial system (the white blood cells and such). It is apparently a biological drug with multiple sources, though generally not more than one or two to a plant.

The Okie ‘Cities in Flight’ use it as part of an their immortality drug suite.

Miruvóre

The exact translation of Miruvor or Miruvóre, is not known, but “death-defeater” is a probable etymological meaning. It’s certainly an accurate description.

Appearing in The Fellowship of the Rings, miruvor is a warm and fragrant clear cordial made by and consumed by the Elves. They do not reveal how miruvor was made, but it is thought to come from the honey of the undying flowers in the gardens of Yavanna in Valinor. It’s possible that this drink holds the secret of Elven immortality, although if so, it has no such effect on humans, hobbits or dwarves.

The cordial gives the drinker renewed strength and vitality, and is used by the Elves at their festivals. Some party animals, those Elves, huh?

Tricetyltriparanol

Often abbreviated to TATP, Tricetyltriparanol is a simple cholesterol inhibitor, albeit is so effective at its job – and at the con-committant reduction of heart disease – that it qualifies as an anti-agathic, which is to say, it is a drug that prevents or retards aging.

Tricetyltriparanol does not actually prevent the body from forming cholesterol, but instead destroys cholesterol in the body. As such, it must be taken daily – and not at all by pregnantt women, who need a certain amount of cholesterol.

The Okie ‘Cities in Flight’ use it as part of an their immortality drug suite.
