Hypertension drug Rilmenidine can extend lifespan and delay ageing, Study Reveals

A recent study published in Aging Cell has claimed that rilmenidine, a drug currently used for hypertension treatment, can slow ageing and extend lifespan.

The findings show that animals treated with rilmenidine at young and older ages increase lifespan and improve health markers, mimicking the effects of caloric restriction.

They also demonstrate that the healthspan and lifespan benefits of rilmenidine treatment in the roundworm C. elegans are mediated by the I1-imidazoline receptor nish-1, identifying this receptor as a potential longevity target.
