  Purpose

To establish the relationship between human MAAI haplotype and DCA and tyrosine metabolism. This aim test the postulates that MAAI haplotype determines, and thus can predict,1) dose-dependent DCA kinetics and biotransformation and 2) DCA's effects on tyrosine metabolism.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Hypothesize that subject's genotype will determine how DCA is metabolized [ Time Frame: August, 2009 - November 2012 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 24
Study Start Date: August 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date: November 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: DCA 2.5.ug/kg
Dichloroacetate 2.5ug/kg /day is administered for five days.
Drug: Dichloroacetate 2.5.ug/kg
Subjects are admitted to the clinical research center for 6 nights. The first day subjects are administer 2.5ug/kg/day. Frequent blood samples are collected over a 24 hour period. On days 2,3,4 subjects receive a dose of DCA each day. On day 5 they receive a dose of DCA and pharmacokinetics are done for 24 hours then subjects are discharged.
Other Names:
  • genotype
  • DCA
Experimental: 'DCA 25mg/kg Clinical Dose'
25mg/kg of dichloroacetate (DCA) was given 30 days after low dose DCA. Clinical dose was given for five days.
Drug: DCA 25mg/kg Clinical Dose
Subjects are admitted to the clinical research center Thirty days after the 2.5ug/kg dose. Subjects receive 25mg/kg/ day of DCA. On day 1 pharmacokinetics are done for 24hours. Days 2,3,4 subjects receive a dose of DCA. On day 5 subjects receive a dose of DCA and have pharmacokinetics for 24 hours and are then discharged home.
Other Names:
  • Dichloracetate
  • Genotype
  • pharmacokinetics

Detailed Description:

The arms of the study involves an admission to the clinical research center. There participants will first take a low dose of DCA 2.5ug/kg for 5 days then wait 30 days and take a therapeutic dose of DCA 25mg/kg for 5 days On the first day and on the 5th day of taking DCA kinetics will be done. A total of 16 blood samples will be obtained through an intravenous catheter. Subjects will also breath into a test tube for the collection of CO2. Urine collection will also occur
