Pharmacokinetics of resveratrol. Plasma profile of a new formulation based on resveratrol
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate in 6 subjects aged between 18 and 60 years the peak blood (plasma profile) of two formulations, indistinguishable from each other, containing: A) 180 mg natural Resveratrol (Polygonum cuspidatum 98%) B) 180 mg of Revifast® (resveratrol from supported on Magnesium hydroxide).
Detailed description
The study will be randomized, controlled, single blind, cross-over, using the two granular compounds in capsules A and B, indistinguishable from each other, dissolved in aqueous solution and administered orally. either A:180 mg natural Resveratrol (Polygonum cuspidatum 98%) deriving from galenic preparation from the IRRE pharmacy - Istituto Riuniti based in Cannara in via Vittorio Emanuele II 23. B) 180 mg of Revifast® (mixture of resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum extract Siebold & Zucc. Root supported on Magnesium hydroxide). Cross-over refers to a type of clinical study in which each individual receives each of the treatments consecutively. PHASE I: The subjects will be given, on the first day, in the morning on an empty stomach, a solution of content A or B obtained by dissolving the contents of the capsule in water which will then be taken orally. Samples of 2 ml of venous blood in a tube containing EDTA will be taken from a vein in the arm using a cannula at 0 min (fasting before administration), 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, 180 min . WASH-OUT: 1 day. PHASE II: On the third day, the person who had taken the solution A will take the solution B, and vice versa, with the same methods and times described above. The study will have a total duration of 6 weeks divided as follows: * Pre-monitoring phase, enrollment of subjects, random assignment in two arms 1 and 2 each consisting of 3 subjects and signature of the informative consent regarding the adhesion to the study protocol (1 week); * 1 week for taking samples and storing them for routine chemical / biochemical analyzes carried out at the Crabion S.R.L. accredited center based in Corciano in via Amilcare Ponchielli 8 (on the first day, arm 1 will start treatment with solution A; on the second day, this arm will wash-out and arm 2 will start treatment with solution A; on third day on arm 1 will start the treatment with solution B and arm 2 will wash-out; on the fourth day arm 2 will carry out the treatment with solution B; once the routine analyzes have been carried out, on the fifth day the frozen samples will be sent to the Department of chemistry, biology and biotechnology of the University of Perugia for subsequent extraroutine analyzes). * 2 weeks for carrying out the pharmacological and metabolomic analyzes of extraroutins performed at the Department of chemistry, biology and biotechnology of the University of Perugia; * 2 weeks for carrying out statistical tests and processing the data obtained.
Interventions
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTRevifast
Revifast® is based on natural resveratrol supported on Magnesium hydroxide. Revifast® particles confer an improved dissolution rate in tests that mimic the gastric environment compared to Polygonum cuspidatum resveratrol (98%).
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTpure resveratrol

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the plasma concentration (micromolar concentration) of free resveratrol after administration of a tablet containing 150mg of resveratrol in either the Resv@MDH form or pure resveratrol dissolved in water. | 2 days | Analysis of the peak plasmatic profile of resveratrol in venous blood samples at specific time intervals and after administration of a tablet dissolved in water of two different formulations based on resveratrol. Timing of blood samples: (fasting before administration), 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, 180 min after oral administration. Samples of blood will be analyzed for pharmacological and metabolomic analysis of resveratrol and evaluate the concentration of resveratrol (micro molar) using a mass spectrometer. |
