The pharmacokinetics and effects of a long‐acting preparation of superoxide dismutase (PC‐SOD) in man

Abstract

Single intravenous administrations of PC-SOD in doses up to 80 mg were well tolerated in healthy White male and female volunteers. With the doses used, SOD activity was linearly related to the dose; after the 80-mg dose it was present for an appreciable period. These findings suggest that it is worthwhile to investigate PC-SOD in clinical conditions characterized by a high radical overload.
