Suspended animation:
science fiction or plausible therapy?
Mervyn Singer
Bloomsbury Institute of
Intensive Care Medicine
University College London, UK
Declaration of interest
Alex Dyson
Therapeutic hypothermia
 reduces metabolic rate
 reduces ROS production ..
.. and thus minimizes reperfusion injury
Oh, yes, it works! Oh, no, it doesn't!
Temperature Survival
haemorrhagic shock in rats
MAP 40 mmHg for 90’ .. then resusc’n
After 15’ shock randomized to:
 normothermia (38°C)
 brief hypothermia (34°C) for 15-90’
during shock + 30’ after reperfusion
 prolonged hypothermia (as brief, then
35°C from 30’ to 12h)
Give me a faster alternative!
Maybe we can…?
 ?? hibernation induction trigger (HIT) - 88kDa glycoprotein
 synthetic delta opioid peptide, DADLE
 5-AMP
 3-iodothyronamine (TIAM)
 hydrogen sulphide
also
 adenose A1 receptor agonists
 2-deoxyglucose
 methyl palmoxirate
 mercaptoacetate
 neuropeptide Y
Pharmacological triggers of torpor
natural daily torpor in mice
torpor induced by lowering
core temperature to 16C
and food deprivation in mice
torpor induced by injecting
5-AMP i.p. into mice
Could the answer be found here?
Or even here?
H2S hibernates mice but ...
Our experience with H2S (i.v. NaHS) in rats
Comparing H2S with hypothermia
MGC-0109
oral copper chelator
slow-release intracellular sulphide donor

Resuscitation/treatment of:
Acute myocardial infarction + 1° angioplasty
Cardiac arrest (c/f therapeutic hypothermia)
Stroke + thrombolysis/angioplasty
Acute trauma ..
Prevention of organ injury:
Cardiac bypass surgery
Aortic cross clamping
Transplantation ..
Potential utility ...
Write lots of grants
Find a drug company to fund trials
Find a billionaire
Potential utility -> practical reality
 sulphide inhibits mitochondrial respiration and metabolism
 other useful effects, e.g. anti-inflammatory
 potential utility for use in ischaemia-reperfusion injury states
 human volunteer trials to start 2016 - watch this space!
