Inclusion Criteria:

1. Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent before any study specific procedures.
2. Healthy male and/or female subjects aged 18 to 55 years (inclusive) with suitable veins for cannulation or repeated venipuncture.

3. Females must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and on admission to the unit, must not be lactating and must be of non childbearing potential, confirmed at screening by fulfilling one of the following criteria 3.1. Postmenopausal defined as amenorrhoea for at least 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range.

   3.2. Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation.

4. Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 inclusive and weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 100 kg inclusive.
5. Provision of signed, written and dated informed consent for optional genetic/biomarker research. If a subject declines to participate in the genetic component of the study, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the subject. The subject will not be excluded from other aspects of the study described in this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of any clinically significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the PI, may either put the volunteer at-risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the volunteer's ability to participate in the study.
2. History or presence of gastrointestinal (GI), hepatic or renal disease or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs.
3. Participants with any special dietary restrictions such as subjects that are lactose intolerant or are vegetarians/vegans.
4. Any clinically significant illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of IMP.
5. Any clinically significant abnormalities in clinical chemistry, hematology or urinalysis results, at screening and/or admission to the study unit as judged by the PI.
6. Any clinically significant abnormal findings in vital signs at screening, as judged by the PI.
7. Any clinically significant abnormalities on 12-lead ECG at screening and/or admission to the study unit, as judged by the PI.
8. Any positive result on screening for serum hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
9. Known of suspected Gilbert's syndrome and known or suspected history of drug abuse, as judged by the PI.

10. Has received another new chemical or biological entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 3 months of the first administration of IMP in this study. The period of exclusion begins 3 months after the final dose or one month after the last visit whichever is the longest.

    Note: Participants consented and screened, but not randomized in this study or a previous phase I study, are not excluded.

11. Plasma donation within 1 month of screening or any blood donation/loss more than 500 mL during the 3 months before screening.
12. History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the PI or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to AZD5718.
13. Current smokers or those who have smoked or used nicotine products (including e-cigarettes) within the 3 months before screening.
14. Positive screen for drugs of abuse or cotinine (screening only) at screening or on each admission to the study center or positive screen for alcohol on each admission to the study center.
15. Use of drugs with enzyme-inducing properties such as St John's Wort within 3 weeks before the first administration of IMP.
16. Use of any prescribed or non prescribed medication including antacids, analgesics (other than paracetamol/acetaminophen), herbal remedies, megadose vitamins (intake of 20 to 600 times the recommended daily dose) and minerals during the 2 weeks before the first administration of IMP or longer if the medication has a long half life.
17. Known or suspected history of alcohol or drug abuse or excessive intake of alcohol as judged by the PI.
18. Involvement of any AstraZeneca, PAREXEL or study site employee or their close relatives.
19. Subjects who have previously received AZD5718.
20. Judgment by the PI that the subject should not participate in the study if they have any ongoing or recent minor medical complaints that may interfere with the interpretation of study data or are considered unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.
21. Vulnerable subjects, e.g., kept in detention, protected adults under guardianship.
22. Non-leukocyte depleted whole blood transfusion within 120 days of the date of the genetic sample collection or previous bone marrow transplant.
