Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoints of this study are the concentrations of kukoamine A and B in the blood within 5 hours after consumption of the study meal and in the urine within 24 hours after the study meal. The aim is to determine both the time course (including total absorption and elimination) and the maximum concentration cmax at time tmax. The concentrations in urine will be correlated with the creatinine content of the respective urine samples in order to take possible dilution effects into account. The half-life t1/2 of the kukoamines will be estimated from the time course. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary objectives are the identification and, if necessary, quantification of metabolites of kukoamine A and B in blood and urine and their increase/decrease over time. In addition, the absorption, metabolism, and elimination behavior of kukoamine A and B will be compared. | — |
