Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to evaluate how much quercetin or isoquercetin is absorbed after a single dose and evaluate for pharmacokinetic inhibition of protein disulfide isomerase. Pharmacodynamic studies will also be performed in an additional cohort of 10 patients with evidence of antiphospholipid antibodies

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To compare the absorption and activity of quercetin or isoquercetin with or without ascorbic acid in healthy adults. Oral chews containing quercetin (500mg) or isoquercetin(500 mg total) with or without ascorbic acid will be given. Pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax, Tmax, elimination half-life) will be determined over 24 hours (8 time points). Pharmacodynamic inhibition of protein disulfide isomerase activity will also be assessed.

In addition to healthy subjects, a cohort of 10 individuals with antiphospholipid antibodies will participate. These participants will receive isoquercetin 1000 mg and have pharmacodynamics studies performed at time 0 and 4 hours.

All study drugs will be provided by Quercegen Pharma.
