Great and thanks, and glad you read or parse or understand some TwitterX images or pictures
... and again - Can you read or parse the image or molecular schemata in this TwitterX post and then tell me the name of the drug or molecular compound depicted here please by Michael Forrest @Forrest_PhD Drug (predicted) to Slow Aging
The molecular compound depicted in the post by Michael Forrest, PhD (@Forrest_PhD) is Bedaquiline (also known by its brand name Sirturo).
Dr. Forrest’s research and his company, Biophysical Therapeutics, focus on a specific mechanism of aging involving the F1F0 ATP synthase enzyme. In the post you mentioned, he identifies Bedaquiline as a "predicted" drug to slow aging because of its ability to selectively inhibit the reverse mode (ATP hydrolysis) of this enzyme.
Key Details about the Drug and Post:
The Compound:Bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline antibiotic that was originally FDA-approved to treat multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.
The Mechanism: Dr. Forrest’s hypothesis (published in bioRxiv and elsewhere) suggests that IF1 protein is a natural "master switch" of aging. This protein blocks the reverse mode of ATP synthase, which normally generates metabolic heat and harmful Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).
The Prediction: He posits that drugs like Bedaquiline, which can mimic the action of the IF1 protein by inhibiting ATP hydrolysis without stopping ATP synthesis (the forward mode that provides energy), could reduce the rate of biological aging, decrease metabolic heat, and potentially be used in anti-aging cosmetic creams or medical treatments.
In his Twitter/X feed, he frequently shares the skeletal molecular structure of Bedaquiline—recognizable by its central quinoline ring with bromine, hydroxyl, and amine substitutions—as the lead candidate for this "metabolic slowing" approach to longevity

Dear Victor,
Happy Birthday Victor wherever you are!
Warm Yoga greetings from the mostly sunny SF Bay Area. I hope this finds you well in the New Year (& here's my Happy New Year letter again - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/01/mount-tamalpais.html). I found some of our previous communications on your birthday and see PSs below.
Happy birthday in Greece, the Netherlands, or teaching Yoga (with Angela?) somewhere around the world.
Best wishes, abolitionally, Friendly Yoga regards,

Warm greetings from the sunny, SF Bay Area. I hope this finds you well in the New Year, and celebrating, perhaps in Molyvos for a lovely meal.
I'm posting below what I'm up to presently.
Happy, happy birthday!
Love,
Scott
For some up-to-date perspectives on my work, I've added my 500 word 'statement of work,' which I submitted to MIT, below, and you'll find here a video abstract and video talk I gave on actual / virtual Harbin Hot Springs last November 2012 at UC Berkeley - http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm .
Thank you again!
Best wishes, Scott
Please submit a statement about your work (max. 500 words):
I’m writing to apply for the MIT Media Lab faculty position focusing on learning and technologies. I concentrate on three main areas in my work:
a) Developing World University and School, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University - which is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, with free, online degrees planned, and as wiki-school in all 7,413+ languages and 205+ countries;
b) Writing an actual / virtual Harbin Hot Springs’ ethnography, with 3-4, further, Harbin books planned (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2012/12/hot-springs-by-river-three-subsequent.html ). I’m writing the eighth of nine chapters presently, and plan to create a virtual Harbin, for ethnographic fieldwork, and for comparison with on-the-ground Harbin, for subsequent books. I’ve written a number of papers about the World Wide Web in other contexts, particularly in terms of actual and online ‘place.’
c) Teaching about the sociology and anthropology of the Internet, particularly a course entitled “Society and Information Technology,” which I’ve taught on Harvard’s virtual island for 7 semesters, and vis-Ã -vis Manuel Castells’ Network Society research, in a variety of ways.
I’ll focus here now on World University. Wiki World University and School plans to be the MIT / Harvard of the internet in all 7,413+ languages and the 205+ countries, building on MIT OpenCourseWare, and offers not only remarkable, creative, Media Lab opportunities in its making, but also potentially extends MIT into all languages and countries online.
WUaS is also planning MIT OCW-centric, Creative Commons’ licensed, bachelor, Ph.D., International Baccalaureate, law and M.D. degrees, including online Medical (as well as an hospital) and Law Schools, accrediting on MIT OCW where possible, in many languages and countries, especially in the poorest parts of the world.
WUaS is also planning a Universal Translator, building on Google Translate, etc., in part, but for voice, and thus creating unique and far-reaching A.I. and programming opportunities over the years ahead.
WUaS is also planning a Music School in all languages, and with all instruments, each a wiki, subject page to begin, with online teaching, learning and jamming possibilities.
WUaS presently has 539 wiki pages, the section headings of which we plan to copy, paste and translate into other languages, as we move from the current, Wikia wiki to the new, Creative Commons’ licensed Wikidata / Wikibase database.
As a concluding statement of my work, WUaS plans to create academic, information technology jobs for students at the Media Lab, for all of MIT, in many, many languages and countries, and also for students at other great universities, especially, where the Media Lab could become the organizational hub for extensive, knowledge-oriented, job generation, worldwide.
MIT OCW-centric degrees for overachievers in many languages and countries, with the MIT Media Lab at the center of all of this, will generate a remarkable, flourishing, STEM-centric, academic conversation.
World University and School is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt educational organization.
World University and School is sending you this because of your interest in free, online, higher education. If you don't want to receive these, please reply with 'remove' in the subject line. Thank you.
I'm looking here for a duet with a woman and to start a family here. World University & School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com - and my actual / virtual Harbin ethnography are coming along.
How are you? I miss you here. You seem so distant - in a connected yoga way. Hope to connect with you soon.
Dear Scott, do not worry.When you feel that I am distant, then that is true in a material way. I am more in Greece than any where else. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Another year older and deeper in bed. Lots of love , Victor.
