Outline of Final Research Achievements

We searched data collected from the Japan Medical Data Center for drugs that improve the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients. Candidate drugs, which could improve the prognosis of cardiac arrest patients, were extracted using "TargetMine," a drug discovery tool. Then, we investigated whether the candidate drugs were administered to the 2,227 cardiac arrest patients included in this study. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that three drugs (isosorbide dinitrate, nitroglycerin, and nicardipine) that were showed significant association with improvement in the proportion of survival discharge. Thus, it can be suggested that isosorbide dinitrate, nitroglycerin, and nicardipine could be novel therapeutic agents for improving the prognosis of cardiac arrest patients.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現在、心肺停止後の予後を改善する適切な治療薬はなく、蘇生後脳症などを併発することからも治療は長期にわたる。くわえて、後遺症が続く場合は介護が必要となり経済的負担が発生する。そのため、新規治療薬物の開発が望まれていた。本研究手法のドラッグリポジショニングは、既存薬を用いることから、心肺停止後の予後の改善に対して、適切かつ早期に治療法を提案することが可能となる。これにより、心肺停止後の治療に対する寄与および医療経済負担を軽減することが期待される。
