Longevity and Repurposing drugs
"With a global ageing population, the benefits of delaying ageing, even if slightly, are immense. Repurposing drugs capable of extending lifespan and healthspan has a huge untapped potential in translational geroscience. For the first time, we have been able to show in animals that rilmenidine can increase lifespan."
The findings of the study, published in Aging Cell on 20th Jan 2023, states that “animals treated with RILMENIDINE, currently used to treat hypertension, at young and older ages increases lifespan and improves health markers, mimicking the effects of caloric restriction”.
