Bioavailability Study of Maqui Berry Extract in Healthy Subjects.

ABSTRACT: Several health promoting effects have been reported for maqui berry, rich in anthocyanins. Direct effects of anthocyanins as well as bioactive metabolites might be involved. Within the study, bioavailability of a proprietary standardized maqui berry extract Delphinol® was investigated based on two selected anthocyanins (delphinidin-3-O-glucoside (DS) + cyanidin-3-O-sambubioside (CS)) and two breakdown products (protocatechuic acid (PCA) + gallic acid (GA)) after a single-dose supplementation in humans. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from individual concentration time curves. In all 12 subjects a significant increase was noted in plasma values of DG and CS after intake of maqui berry extract. Maximum concentration of DG was observed after 1.0 ± 0.3 h and CS after 2.0 ± 1.1 h. Within 8 h, concentrations nearly returned to baseline levels. The results confirm a fast uptake and metabolism of the two selected key substances. Additionally, the phenolic acids GA and PCA were observed as breakdown products of anthocyanins. In summary, the study clearly confirms the bioavailability of maqui berry extract and its specific anthocyanin compounds and related breakdown products in healthy subjects.

Project description:Kaempferia parviflora Wall. ex Baker (KP), Krachaidam in Thai or Thai ginseng, is a herbal medicine that has many potential pharmacological effects. The effect of KP extract on blood glucose level in rodent was reported. This study focused on the oral glucose tolerance test and pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers administered with KP extract (90 and 180 mg/day, placebo). The oral glucose tolerance tests were performed at baselines and 28-days of administration. The pharmacokinetics were determined after a single dose administration of the tested products using 3,5,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone (PMF) and 5,7,4'-trimethoxylflavone (TMF) as markers. The results showed that glucose metabolism via oral glucose tolerance test was not affected by KP extract. Blood glucose levels of volunteers at 120 min after glucose loading were able to be returned to initial levels in placebo, KP 90 mg/day, and KP 180 mg/day groups both at baseline and 28-days of administration. The results of the pharmacokinetic study revealed that only TMF and PMF, but not 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (DMF) levels could be detected in human blood. The given doses of KP extract at 90 and 180 mg/day showed a linear dose-relationship of blood PMF concentration whereas blood TMF was detected only at high given dose (180 mg/day). The half-lives of PMF and TMF were 2-3 h. The maximum concentration (Cmax), area under the curve of blood concentration and time (AUC), and time to maximum concentration (Tmax) values of PMF and TMF estimated for the 180 mg/day dose were 71.2 ± 11.3, 63.0 ± 18.0 ng/mL; 291.9 ± 48.2, 412.2 ± 203.7 ng∙h/mL; and 4.02 ± 0.37, 6.03 ± 0.96 h, respectively. PMF was quickly eliminated with higher Ke and Cl than TMF at the dose of 180 mg/day of KP extract. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that KP extract had no effect on the glucose tolerance test. In addition, this is the first demonstration of the pharmacokinetic parameters of methoxyflavones of KP extract in healthy volunteers. The data suggest the safety of the KP extract and will be of benefit for further clinical trials using KP extract as food and sport supplements as well as a drug in health product development.

Project description:IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the absolute bioavailability (BA) of AG-221 following a single oral dose of 100 mg AG-221 and an intravenous (IV) dose of ~ 100 μg AG-221 containing approximately 300 nCi of [14C]-AG-221.MethodsThis was a phase 1, open-label study. Six subjects who met all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. After an overnight fast of at least 10 h, the subjects received an oral dose (coated tablet) of 100 mg of AG-221 at 0 h on dosing day. Four hours after the oral dose, the subjects received 100 μg AG-221 containing ~ 300 nCi of [14C]-AG-221 administered as an IV bolus. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for plasma concentrations of AG-221 and [14C]-AG-221 using a validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractionation followed by accelerator mass spectrometry analysis (AMS), respectively. Safety was evaluated throughout the study.ResultsThe absolute BA after a 100-mg oral dose of AG-221 was measured as 57.2%. While the total clearance was 1.37 L/h, ~ 1/60 of the liver blood flow in a typical 70-kg human subject, the first-pass extraction was estimated to be less than 2%, assuming that the total clearance was entirely due to liver metabolism. Thus, the fraction of the AG-221 dose absorbed was at least 50%. AG-221 was safe and well tolerated when given under fasted conditions in a single 100-mg dose as a coated tablet with a microtracer [14C]-AG-221 solution, as few drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported. No clinically significant changes or findings were noted in the clinical laboratory evaluations, vital sign measurements, and electrocardiograms (ECGs) performed during this study.ConclusionsIn healthy subjects under fasting conditions, the absolute BA following oral administration of a 100-mg AG-221 tablet was 57.2%. AG-221 was safe and well tolerated in healthy male subjects when administered as a single 100-mg film-coated tablet plus 100 µg [14C]-AG-221 given intravenously.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT02443168.FundingCelgene Corporation.
