Imipramine: Mechanism, Autophagy, and Research Use
2026-09-05
Imipramine is an orally active tricyclic antidepressant that primarily inhibits the serotonin transporter. Research documentation also describes activity in glioma autophagy, leukemia apoptosis, neuroprotection, and immunomodulation, while current evidence does not establish it as an antiviral or clinical anticancer treatment.

Gepotidacin for Uncomplicated Urogenital Gonorrhea
2026-09-03
This phase 2 randomized study evaluated whether a single oral dose of gepotidacin could eradicate uncomplicated urogenital Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections. Both dose groups produced at least 95% microbiological eradication in evaluable participants, while treatment failures highlighted the importance of baseline susceptibility and resistance-associated mutations.

ALDH2 Activation Delays Heart Failure in Mice
2026-09-03
Cheng and colleagues show that activating ALDH2 extends the early postnatal proliferative capacity of mouse cardiomyocytes and increases cardiomyocyte proliferation during ventricular pressure overload. Using Alda 1 in a transverse aortic constriction model, the study links ALDH2 activity to delayed heart failure, while also identifying cardiomyocyte cell-cycle regulation as an important complement to its established role in aldehyde detoxification.
