Abstract:Introduction:
While effective for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, therapeutic hypothermia can be difficult to timely implement clinically. No drugs exist for improving neurologically intact survival. We have developed a novel peptide (TAT-PHLPP) that inhibits PH domain and Leucine rich repeat Protein Phosphatases (PHLPP), leading to Akt activation and mimicking of the protective effects of therapeutic hypothermia without the need of physical cooling.
