Parotid Gland Tumor, Submandibular Gland Tumor
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is determine salivary gland disposition of d-limonene, the primary component in citrus peel and a common dietary supplement. Salivary gland tissue and saliva will be collected to determine concentration of d-limonene and its metabolites in these tissues.
Detailed description
Primary Objective: To determine the bioavailability of Alda-341 in salivary gland tissue. Secondary Objective: To determine the bioavailability of Alda-341 in saliva and blood
Interventions
Dietary supplement d-limonene orally administered as a drug.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bioavailability of Alda-341 in salivary gland tissue using GCMS | 2 week | Bio availability of Alda-341 in salivary gland tissue will be measured using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS). The scale is is 4ng/mL - 8000ng/mL. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bioavailability of Alda-341 in saliva and blood | 2 week | Bio availability of Alda-341 in saliva and blood will be measured using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS). The scale is is 4ng/mL - 8000ng/mL. |
