This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/bync/4.0/). abstract: Sulfide-releasing compounds reduce reperfusion injury by decreasing mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species production. We previously characterised ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (ATTM), a clinically used copper chelator, as a sulfide donor in rodents. Here we assessed translation to large mammals prior to clinical testing. In healthy pigs an intravenous ATTM dose escalation revealed a reproducible pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship with minimal adverse clinical or biochemical events. In a myocardial infarction (1-h occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery)-reperfusion model, intravenous ATTM or saline was commenced just prior to reperfusion. ATTM protected the heart (24-h histological examination) in a drug-exposure-dependent manner (r2 = 0.58, p < 0.05). Blood troponin T levels were significantly (p < 0.05) lower in ATTM-treated animals while myocardial glutathione peroxidase activity, an antioxidant selenoprotein, was elevated (p < 0.05). Overall, our study represents a significant advance in the development of sulfides as therapeutics and underlines the potential of ATTM as a novel adjunct therapy for reperfusion injury. Mechanistically, our study suggests that modulating selenoprotein activity could represent an additional mode of action of sulfide-releasing drugs. date: 2024-07 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.redox.2024.103167 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2272871 doi: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103167 medium: Print-Electronic pii: S2213-2317(24)00143-5 lyricists_name: Singer, Mervyn lyricists_id: MSING16 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Redox Biology volume: 73 article_number: 103167 event_location: Netherlands issn: 2213-2317 citation: Johnson, Thomas W; Holt, James; Kleyman, Anna; Zhou, Shengyu; Sammut, Eva; Bruno, Vito Domenico; Gaupp, Charlotte; ...
