Actual (reported)To investigate the comparative tolerability, metabolism and pharmacokinetics of individual enantiomers of PQ in healthy human volunteers. The specific aim is the comparative evaluation of the metabolism, pharmacokinetic behavior, and tolerability of the isomers of PQ (RPQ and SPQ and the racemic mixture RSPQ) in normal healthy human volunteers.

between 0-24 hours
Area Under Curve (AUC) for carboxyprimaquine, the major plasma metabolite of primaquine, up to 24 hours after primaquine administration
between 0-24 hours

Interventions: Primaquine, R-Primaquine, S-Primaquine, SR Primaquine A single center, prospective, cross-over, randomized phase 1 trial. Thirty-six participants, enrolled into a two cohort pharmacokinetic study evaluating two dose levels of primaquine isomers. Cohort 1 (Low Dose Level)- single dose of 15 mg of S-Primaquine and 15 mg of R-Primaquine compared to 30 mg RS-Primaquine over 24 hours. Participants will cross-over after a one week wash-out period.
Interventions: Primaquine, R-Primaquine, S-Primaquine, SR Primaquine A single center, prospective, cross-over, randomized phase 1 trial. Thirty-six participants, enrolled into a two cohort pharmacokinetic study evaluating two dose levels of primaquine isomers. Cohort 2 (High Dose Level)-single dose of 22.5 mg of S-Primaquine and 22.5 mg of R-Primaquine compared to 45 mg RS-Primaquine over 24 hours. Participants will cross-over among the treatment arms following a one week wash-out period between each.
Cohort 1: Eighteen individuals (6 per group) Cohort 2: Eighteen individuals (6 per group) Group 1-15 mg of S-Primaquine followed by one-week washout, 15 mg of R-Primaquine followed by one week washout, and 30 mg of RS-Primaquine. Group 2- 15 mg of R-Primaquine followed by one-week washout, 30 mg of RSPQ followed by one week washout, and 15 mg of SPQ. Group 3- 30 mg of RS-Primaquine followed by one week washout,15 mg of SPQ followed by a one week washout, and 15 mg of RPQ.
