Tomatidine is primarily studied for its potential anti-aging and muscle-enhancing properties. It has shown ability to extend lifespan in model organisms like worms and mice by modulating cellular pathways related to aging, particularly through inhibition of mTOR signaling. The compound supports muscle health by reducing age-related muscle atrophy, making it a candidate for addressing sarcopenia. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in preclinical studies, suggesting possible applications in neurodegenerative conditions. Additionally, tomatidine has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and may enhance the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics. Research is ongoing to explore its therapeutic potential in metabolic and age-related diseases.
