Rheumatoid Arthritis is currently a globally prevalent condition, affecting around 18 million people, with no known curative treatment. Although Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) are widely used and often well-tolerated, they only control symptoms and progressions not cure the disease.

The anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 is critical to the prevention of various chronic diseases. Sirtuin 1 is important to the treatment and pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Traditional remedies to treat rheumatoid arthritis may include Sirtuin 1 activators instead of Sirtuin 1 inhibitors to reverse and treat patients on drug and other traditional treatments.
