Review the multiple uses of metformin. A recent article on the multiple uses of metformin brings up the important topic of repurposing medications.1 Repurposing has been around since the advent of modern medicine. One prominent example is the use of chlorpromazine (CPZ) as an antipsychotic.2 Chlorpromazine was first synthesized in 1951 as a potentiator of general anesthesia.2 The psychiatric benefits were found later by Henri Laborit, a surgeon in the French army. He was doing research with artificial hibernation in prevention of surgical shock.2 Laborit employed the drug as an adjunct to anesthetics.2 He observed that CPZ at doses of 50 mg to 100 mg produced a lowering of body temperature, sedation, and disinterest without loss of consciousness.2 He was able to persuade his colleagues in the military hospital in Paris to try CPZ in the treatment of one of their patients who was experiencing psychotic agitation.2 Laborit hypothesized that since cooling with water had been used to treat agitation in France, the drug would have a similar effect.2 The mechanism of action was not fully known, and it was thought that it worked in controlling agitation because of its cooling effect and induction of “artificial hibernation” in patients.2 The pharmacological mechanism was not fully understood until many years later and the way it has impacted the practice of psychiatry needs no introduction. These “happy accidents” in medicine have played a vital role in getting where we are right now compared with just 50 years ago. This begs the question, are we onto another “happy accident” with metformin? There is an accumulating body of evidence that metformin may have benefits in aging that are beyond its effect on glycemic control.3.
