Azithromycin and Roxithromycin define a new family of “senolytic” drugs that target senescent human fibroblasts
Figure 3. Chemical structures of Erythromycin and related compounds. Note that Erythromycin, Azithromycin and Roxithromycin all have very similar chemical structures, but differ mainly in their side groups. All three compounds are macrolide antibiotics and consist of a large core macrocyclic lactone ring, with two deoxy-sugars attached to it.
