Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Be a healthy male or female within the age range of 18 to 55 years.
- Voluntarily sign a Research Ethics Committee (REC)-approved informed consent form to participate in the study after all relevant aspects of the study have been explained and discussed with the subject.
- Have Hematology, Coagulation, Clinical Chemistry and Urinalysis test results that are within normal, allowable limits (if out-of-range, must be considered clinically significant to be exclusionary) and performed within 21 days of receiving first dose of test material.
- Have a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m^2.
- Be clear of any history of HIV and hepatitis B and C.
- Have no significant disease or clinically significant abnormal laboratory value as deemed by the investigator on the laboratory evaluations, medical history, or physical exam.
- Have a normal 12-lead ECG or an ECG with abnormality considered to be clinically insignificant.
- Have the ability to communicate with the investigative site staff in a manner sufficient to carry out all protocol procedures as described.
- All subjects and their partner must agree to use an acceptable double barrier method for birth control from the Screening visit through 3 months after the last dose of test material.
- All female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential. For the purposes of this study, this is defined as the subject being amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months or at least 6 weeks post-surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy. (Menopausal status will be confirmed by demonstrating levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) of 20 - 138 mIU/ml and oestradiol < 20 pg/ml at entry. In the event a subject's menopause status has been clearly established (for example, the subject indicates she has been amenorrheic for 10 years), but FSH and/or oestradiol levels are not consistent with a post-menopausal condition, determination of subject eligibility will be at the discretion of the principal investigator following consultation with the sponsor.
- Subject agrees to refrain from consumption of grapefruits and/or grapefruit juice from 7 days prior to day -1 of treatment visit 1 through to the end of subject's final study visit.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject has had a major illness in the past three months or any significant ongoing chronic medical illness that the Investigator would deem unfavorable for enrollment.
- Subject has renal or liver impairment.
- Subject has a history of gastro-intestinal surgery or has a current gastrointestinal disease which may influence drug absorption.
- Subject has a history, within 3 years, of drug abuse (including Benzodiazepines, opioids, amphetamine, cocaine, and THC) or a positive drug result at Screening.
- Subject smokes more than 5 cigarettes a day.
- Subject has a history of alcoholism, and/or is currently drinking more than three drinks per day [one drink is equal to one unit of alcohol (one glass of wine, half a pint of beer, one measure of a spirit)].
- Subject has participated in a clinical trial within the past three months (defined as three months from the date of last dose of an investigational medicinal product).
- Subject has a history of difficulty in donating blood or accessibility of veins in left or right arm.
- Subject has donated blood (one unit or 350 mL) within three months prior to receiving test material.
- Subject is taking herbal products, over-the-counter medication or prescription drug therapy (with the exception of hormone replacement therapy for female subjects) for which 5 times the half-life is longer than 21 days (i.e., the Screening period) prior to enrollment into the study.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
0.5g SRT2104
Cohort 1 (10 males) & Cohort 2 (10 females) must attend the clinic on 4 separate treatment visits during the study; each treatment visit will be one week apart. At each treatment visit, subjects will receive one of the following 4 treatments: A) 0.5g SRT2104 administered as an oral suspension in the fasted state B) 0.5g SRT2104 administered as an oral suspension following consumption of a standard meal C) 0.5g SRT2104 administered as two 0.25g capsules in the fasted state D) 0.5g SRT2104 administered as two 0.25g capsules following consumption of a standard meal. For treatments A and C, subjects will have fasted for at least 10 hours overnight. Water will be restricted from 1h prior to dosing until 1h post dose. A light lunch will be provided 4h post dose. For treatments B and D, subjects will receive SRT2104 within 30 min following the start of consumption of a standardized non high-fat meal (approximately 650 kcal with approximately 30% of calories derived from fat).
