/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb most probably has some good info on this

There is not a lot of information on this substance. Also, it's a little suspect that nobody has every gone anywhere with it. If it is so effective, and does not have adverse side effects, why has it been forgotten all these years?

Perhaps the researchers back then stumbled onto serious issues with the compound, and never published their results. Perhaps there were dangerous side effects that made them just drop it all together. If I had a substance I was developing that was as good as some people on Longecity think this is, I would never stop until I developed it in full. The fact that there is so little information, and any work on the substance stopped in the late 70s early 80s, makes me skeptical.

I will definitely be watching closely as others try it out, though. Who knows, it could be a very promising substance.
