Purpose
- Type: Bioequivalence study in male healthy volunteers, therapeutical indication (erectile disfunction) not studied
Products, dosage, and route of administration:
- Test 1: Procomil 5 mg (Walter Ritter GmbH & Co. KG, Germany), sugar-coated tablet containing 5 mg yohimbine hydrochloride, oral administration
- Test 2: Yohimbin "Spiegel"® (Desma GmbH, Germany), tablet containing 5 mg yohimbine hydrochloride, oral administration
- Reference: Yocon-Glenwood® (Glenwood GmbH, Germany), tablet containing 5 mg yohimbine hydrochloride, oral administration
Duration of treatment:
3 single-dose administrations of 5 mg yohimbine hydrochloride each under fasting conditions separated by a wash-out period of at least one week i.e. 6 treatment free days between all administrations

Detailed Description:
Study objectives
Primary Objectives:
- Characterisation of relative bioavailability of Test 1 and Test 2 in comparison to Reference after single dose administration under fasting conditions
- Assessment of bioequivalence of Test 1 vs. Reference and Test 2 vs. Reference after single dose administration under fasting conditions, determined by use of area under the concentration time curve AUC0-tlast and maximal concentration Cmax obtained for yohimbine
Secondary Objective:
- Descriptive characterisation of safety and tolerability of the investigational products in the study population
- Descriptive characterisation of blood pressure and pulse rate around Cmax of the investigational products in the study population
Analytical methodology:
Yohimbine in plasma samples will be analysed by use of a validated HPLC-MS/MS; intended LLOQ for yohimbine is 0.5 ng/ml
