A Phase 1 Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Enteric-Coated Stabilized Sulforaphane (SFX-01) in Male Participants.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sulforaphane (SFN) is a naturally occurring isothiocyanate associated with various health benefits, including reduced cancer risk, and has been extensively explored as a potential therapeutic. However, its inherent instability presents challenges in formulation, storage, and administration as a medicinal product. SFX-01 (Sulforadex^®) is a patented synthetic form of d,l-SFN stabilized within a biologically inert alpha-cyclodextrin complex.

Methods

The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of an enteric-coated tablet formulation of SFX-01 were evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study [300 mg once daily (46.2 mg SFN), 300 mg twice daily or 600 mg once daily (92.4 mg SFN)] over 7 days in healthy male particip
