...recently discovered effects of a common over-the-counter drug may have important implications for the treatment and prevention of heart attacks and strokes, according to a study published Sunday in the journal Nature Biotechnology...
Through an innovative drug screening process designed to find compounds that target cellular energy metabolism, a team of researchers at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital found that the drug Meclizine has the potential to revolutionze the way doctors treat strokes and heart attacks...
...compounds—over a third of all FDA-approved drugs—to determine those that could effect a shift from respiration to glycolysis. In the process, researchers discovered that Meclizine can inhibit mitochondrial respiration by shifting cellular metabolism—a promising find for the treatment of heart attacks and strokes...
