Pharmacokinetics and safety of PC-SOD, a lecithinized recombinant superoxide dismutase, in healthy Chinese subjects: A phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study

Abstract

Single intravenous administrations of PC-SOD in doses up to 160 mg were well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. The prolonged half-life of PC-SOD was confirmed and independent of dose. Over the range of 20 - 160 mg, PC-SOD showed approximate dose proportionality. These findings suggest that it is worthwhile to investigate PC-SOD in clinical conditions characterized by a high radical overload.
