稳定性研究一般关注脱酰胺、氧化与聚集三类降解路径。脱酰胺多发生在天冬酰胺残基上，氧化常涉及甲硫氨酸与色氨酸，聚集则与浓度、温度以及容器界面接触有关。强制降解实验用于识别分子中较敏感的位点。这些结果会直接影响储存条件的设定与有效期的判断。
冻干粉通常在低温环境下保存，复溶之后需要按指定条件在较短时间内使用。反复冻融和剧烈振荡可能促进聚集，低吸附容器则能减少多肽在管壁上的损失。批号、日期与处理条件的完整记录，是后续复核与问题追溯的基础。
供应环节涉及来源核实与文件审核两类工作。分析证书、批次记录以及第三方检测报告构成常见的可追溯材料。来源不清的样品很难确认身份与纯度，因此核实步骤在实际操作中具有明确意义。缺少方法细节的报告通常无法复核。
Retatrutide is an investigational synthetic peptide that acts as an agonist at three distinct G protein-coupled receptors. It combines activity at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor, and the glucagon receptor within a single molecule. This multi-receptor profile distinguishes it from earlier incretin-based compounds that engage one or two of these pathways. Researchers designed the molecule to test whether simultaneous activation produces greater metabolic effects than single or dual agonism alone.
The peptide backbone is chemically modified to resist rapid enzymatic breakdown in the body. A fatty acid side chain promotes binding to serum albumin, which slows renal clearance and supports an extended circulation time. These modifications allow less frequent administration than would be possible with an unmodified peptide. The precise contribution of glucagon receptor activation to the overall metabolic effect remains an area of active investigation, because glucagon raises glucose while also increasing energy expenditure.
Development has progressed through early- and mid-stage human studies in adults with obesity and with type 2 diabetes. Published phase 2 data reported reductions in body weight and improvements in glycemic markers over the treatment period. No regulatory agency has approved the compound for any indication, and it remains available only within controlled research settings. Whether benefits observed in trials translate into durable outcomes after treatment stops is not yet established.

Retatrutide is an investigational synthetic peptide engineered to activate three distinct hormone receptors within a single molecule. It targets the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor, the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, and the glucagon receptor simultaneously. This triagonist design distinguishes it from earlier incretin-based compounds that act on one or two of these pathways. Structural modifications relative to native gut hormones extend its residence time in circulation. The molecule remains under clinical evaluation and is not approved for any indication.
Receptor activation produces downstream effects that differ by tissue. GLP-1 receptor signaling influences appetite regulation and insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. GIP receptor activity contributes to metabolic handling of nutrients and may modulate adipose tissue. Glucagon receptor engagement raises energy expenditure and promotes hepatic lipid turnover, though the balance among these actions in humans is still being characterized. Preclinical models showed reductions in body weight and improved glycemic markers.
Clinical development has progressed through phase 2 trials in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes, with phase 3 programs reported as ongoing. Reported outcomes include reductions in body weight and improvements in glycemic measures over defined treatment periods. Whether these effects translate into durable benefits after treatment ends remains an open question. Long-term safety data across broad populations are not yet complete, and regulatory decisions have not been announced.
Each receptor contributes a different physiological effect. Activation of the GLP-1 receptor slows gastric emptying and reduces appetite signaling in the brain. GIP receptor activity influences insulin secretion and lipid handling, while glucagon receptor stimulation raises energy use and fat oxidation. Combining these pathways is intended to produce weight loss beyond what single- or dual-receptor agonists achieve. Researchers attribute the observed potency to simultaneous engagement of all three targets, though the exact contribution of each receptor to overall effect remains under investigation.
Clinical development has advanced through phase 2 trials in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Reported phase 2 results described substantial average weight reduction over roughly forty-eight weeks of weekly dosing. A phase 3 program is ongoing to confirm efficacy and assess long-term safety. Because the compound has not received regulatory approval, it is not available as a prescription product. Public discussion of retatrutide often conflates trial findings with marketed status, an important distinction when interpreting coverage of the topic.
Acting as a triple agonist, the molecule binds the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. GLP-1 activity slows gastric emptying and dampens appetite, while GIP signaling contributes to insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism. Glucagon receptor engagement raises energy expenditure and encourages fat breakdown, although it can also elevate blood glucose. Combining three pathways is intended to yield larger weight reduction than single or dual agonists, and researchers continue to examine how the balance among them shapes tolerability.
Clinical studies have reported notable reductions in body weight among participants. Early trials measured safety and explored several dose levels, and later studies tracked body-weight change over months of treatment. Investigators also monitor effects on glycemic markers, liver fat, and blood lipids. Because the compound is still in development, questions about long-term safety, cardiovascular outcomes, and durability after treatment ends remain open.
The three-receptor design places retatrutide in a distinct category relative to older incretin-based therapies. Single agonists target one receptor, and dual agonists target two. Adding a third target broadens the pharmacological footprint and introduces new trade-offs among efficacy, tolerability, and glucose control. How these trade-offs resolve in large trials is a central focus of current research.
The 2025 Cleveland Guardians season was the 125th season for the franchise, which competes in the American League of Major League Baseball (MLB). On July 6, they were 15.5 games back of the first place Detroit Tigers and were as many as 11 games back on September 4. However, the Guardians surged while the Tigers collapsed and took the American League Central lead on September 23 with a win over the Tigers. With the Guardians having trailed Detroit by 15.5 games in July, this ranked as the largest divisional comeback in MLB history. In addition to the historic division comeback, the Guardians also became the fifth team to make the playoffs while being sub-.500 on September 4 or later. On September 27, with a walk-off win over the Texas Rangers, the Guardians clinched a postseason berth, taking the sixth and final postseason spot in the American League. On September 28, with the Tigers' loss to the Red Sox, the Guardians clinched the American League Central division for the second consecutive time and the sixth time in ten years (2016–2018, 2022, 2024–2025). However, they lost to the Tigers in the Wild Card Series.
== Predicted properties == Very few properties of rutherfordium or its compounds have been measured; this is due to its extremely limited and expensive production and the fact that rutherfordium (and its parents) decays very quickly. A few singular chemistry-related properties have been measured, but properties of rutherfordium metal remain unknown and only predictions are available.
=== Analogues === Selegiline is a close analogue of methamphetamine and amphetamine, and in fact produces their levorotatory forms, levomethamphetamine and levoamphetamine, as metabolites. Selegiline is structurally similar to the antihypertensive agent pargyline (N-methyl-N-propargylbenzylamine), an earlier non-selective MAOI of the phenylalkylamine group. Besides selegiline and pargyline, another clinically used MAOI of the phenylalkylamine and amphetamine families is the antidepressant tranylcypromine (trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine). Tranylcypromine can be conceptualized as a cyclized amphetamine and has amphetamine-like actions at high doses similarly to selegiline. Another notable analogue of selegiline is 4-fluoroselegiline, a variation of selegiline in which one of the hydrogen atoms of the phenyl ring has been replaced with a fluorine atom. A large number of other analogues of selegiline derived via structural modification have been synthesized and characterized. Rasagiline ((R)-N-propargyl-1-aminoindan) is an analogue of selegiline in which the amphetamine base structure has been replaced with a 1-aminoindan structure and the N-methyl group has been removed. Like selegiline, it is also a selective MAO-B inhibitor and used to treat Parkinson's disease. In contrast to selegiline however, rasagiline lacks the amphetamine metabolites and activity of selegiline.

On 15 March, Pakistani officials said that Taliban forces fired mortars from across the border into Bajaur, killing four civilians and injuring a child. Taliban claimed that a civilian was killed in Pakistani artillery strikes on Nuristan Province. On the same day, Afghanistan's defence ministry claimed to have carried out an attack on an army camp in Pakistan's South Waziristan area in retaliation for the airstrikes, which allegedly destroyed most of the camp's command centre and other facilities, and inflicted heavy casualties. Pakistani officials termed Taliban claims as propaganda, saying that a small drone was struck down and that no military installation or infrastructure was hit. Pakistani officials stated that since the onset of hostilities, Pakistan's armed forces had killed 684 Afghan Taliban operatives and militants and injured more than 912 others. They added that the operation destroyed 252 posts, captured and destroyed 44 more, destroyed 229 tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery guns, and targeted 73 sites across Afghanistan. In Pakistan's Kohat district, Pakistani security forces killed 6 militants of Pakistani Taliban. In Afghanistan's Paktika province, Taliban officials said that they shot down a reconnaissance drone of Pakistani forces. Pakistani forces killed a senior TTP commander in Dera Ismail Khan District. Pakistani military also claimed to have killed five TTP militants in Lakki Marwat District. A police inspector Zareen Taj was wounded in a militant attack in Peshawar District and two security personnel were kidnapped from Tank District.
== Etymology and terminology == The Oxford English Dictionary states that the Neo-Latin word clītoris likely has its origin in the Ancient Greek κλειτορίς (kleitorís), which means "little hill", and perhaps derived from the verb κλείειν (kleíein), meaning "to shut" or "to sheathe". Clitoris is also related to the Greek word κλείς (kleís), "key", "indicating that the ancient anatomists considered it the key" to female sexuality. In addition, the Online Etymology Dictionary suggests other Greek candidates for this word's etymology include a noun meaning "latch" or "hook" or a verb meaning "to touch or titillate lasciviously", "to tickle". The Oxford English Dictionary also states that the colloquially shortened form clit, the first occurrence of which was noted in the United States, has been used in print since 1958: until then, the common abbreviation was clitty. Other slang terms for clitoris are bean, nub, and love button. The term clitoris is commonly used to refer to the glans alone. In recent anatomical works, the clitoris has also been referred to as the bulbo-clitoral organ.
Tandem mass spectrometry can be used for protein sequencing. When intact proteins are introduced to a mass analyzer, this is called "top-down proteomics" and when proteins are digested into smaller peptides and subsequently introduced into the mass spectrometer, this is called "bottom-up proteomics". Shotgun proteomics is a variant of bottom up proteomics in which proteins in a mixture are digested prior to separation and tandem mass spectrometry. Tandem mass spectrometry can produce a peptide sequence tag that can be used to identify a peptide in a protein database. A notation has been developed for indicating peptide fragments that arise from a tandem mass spectrum. Peptide fragment ions are indicated by a, b, or c if the charge is retained on the N-terminus and by x, y or z if the charge is maintained on the C-terminus. The subscript indicates the number of amino acid residues in the fragment. Superscripts are sometimes used to indicate neutral losses in addition to the backbone fragmentation, * for loss of ammonia and ° for loss of water. Although peptide backbone cleavage is the most useful for sequencing and peptide identification other fragment ions may be observed under high energy dissociation conditions. These include the side chain loss ions d, v, w and ammonium ions and additional sequence-specific fragment ions associated with particular amino acid residues.
