Measure
Cross-Over Trial
n=23 Participants
Crossover trial, three-armed, randomized. The PXR ligand rifampicin (300 mg/d)was given alone for 7 days in Arm 1, or in daily combination with 450 μmol SFN (Broccoli Sprout extract) in Arm 2; SFN was given alone in arm 3. 29 participants consented, analysis done on 23 who finished all arms.

Outcome measures

Measure
Rifampicin Alone
n=23 Participants
Subjects are given 300 mg / 7 days of rifampicin to induce CYP3A4. Midazolam clearance is measured on the 8th day. Rifampicin: Rifampicin, an antibiotic used to treat TB, is administered at a dose of 300 mg day x 7 days to induce CYP3A5.
Broccoli Sprout Extract Plus Rifampin
n=23 Participants
Sulforaphane (SFN), a natural product derived from broccoli sprouts, is utilized as a putative inhibitor of ligand (Rifampin) activation of the Pregnane X-receptor. In this arm, both SFN (putative inhibitor of ligand binding to PXR) and Rifampin (strong activating ligand of PXR) are given together. sulforaphane plus rifampicin: Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from the plant phytochemical, glucoraphinin. It appears to inhibit ligand binding to the ligand activated nuclear transcription factor, Pregnane X-Receptor (PXR). This arm tests the hypothesis that SFN can block ligand binding to the PXR, thereby inhibiting transcriptional activation of PXR-regulated genes. Sulforaphane is administered daily for 7 days as a broccoli sprout extract, at a dose rate of 75 mg (\~420 umoles)per day for 7 days. Rifampicin is also administered once per day at a dose rate of 300 mg/day for 7 days.
Broccoli Sprout Extract Alone
n=23 Participants
This arm involves the administration of Sulforaphane (SFN) alone, in the absence of the PXR ligand, rifampicin. The hypothesis is that SFN will have no effect on the expression of PXR-regulated genes. Alternatively, it is possible that SFN could inhibit as yet unidentified endogenous ligands to the PXR receptor, thereby causing down-regulations of genes regulated wholely or in part by PXR. SFN is administered as a broccoli sprout extract at a dose rate of 75 mg (\~420 umoles) per day for 7 days. sulforaphane alone: Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from the plant phytochemical, glucoraraphinin. It appears to inhibit ligand binding to the ligand activated nuclear transcription factor, Pregnane X-Receptor (PXR). This arm tests the hypothesis that SFN can block ligand binding to the PXR, thereby inhibiting transcriptional activation of PXR-regulated genes
