Methods and uses for enhancing or restoring the antitumor response, such as the antitumor immune mediated by immune checkpoint inhibitors, in cancer patients, are described. These methods are based on the administration of castalagin or analogs thereof, and are particularly useful for the treatment of tumors resistant to immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. The castalagin or analog thereof may be administered in any suitable form, for example in a crude plant or fruit extract such as a Myrciaria dubia extract, or in a pharmaceutical composition

Described herein are compositions for delaying onset or delaying progression of frailty, reversing aging phenotype, extending healthspan, compressing morbidity, increasing lifespan and reducing formation of senescent cells.
