6. Normal hepatic function as evidenced by AST and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <1.5 × ULN and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin within the normal range
7. Haemodynamically stable with systolic BP 90 to 150 mm Hg, diastolic BP <95 mmHg and resting HR ≥45 and ≤100 bpm
8. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) >80% predicted value and FEV1/ forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio >0.7
9. Must provide written informed consent
10. Must agree to use an adequate method of contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who have received any IMP in a clinical research study within the previous 3 months
2. Subjects who are study site employees, or immediate family members of a study site or sponsor employee
3. Subjects who have previously been enrolled in this study.
4. History of any drug or alcohol abuse in the past 2 years

7. Current users of e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement products and those who have used these products within the last 12 months

A woman is considered of childbearing potential unless she is permanently sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy) or is postmenopausal (had no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and a serum follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] concentration ≥40 IU/L)
9. Subjects who do not have suitable veins for multiple venepunctures/cannulation as assessed by the investigator at screening

10. Clinically significant abnormal biochemistry, haematology, coagulation or urinalysis as judged by the investigator, including:

    • Serum K <3.5 mmol/L
    • Serum magnesium concentration of <0.7 mmol/L
    • Serum phosphate <2.5 or >4.5 mg/dL
11. Positive drugs of abuse test result
12. Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) results
13. Evidence of renal impairment at screening, as indicated by an estimated creatinine clearance of <80 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
14. Evidence of any clinically relevant acute or chronic medical illness, including renal, hepatic, haematological, endocrine, pulmonary (including asthma), oncologic, neurologic or gastrointestinal disease, or psychiatric disorder, as judged by the investigator
15. History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction or ischemia, congestive heart failure, valvular disease, congenital heart disease or prior cardiac surgery
16. History or presence of cardiac arrhythmia or conduction abnormalities, including long-QT syndrome, TdeP, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or bradycardia (<45 bpm)
17. QTcF interval >450 or QRS >120 msec
18. Serious adverse reaction or serious hypersensitivity to any drug or the formulation excipients
19. Presence or history of clinically significant allergy requiring treatment, as judged by the investigator. Hayfever is allowed unless it is active
20. Donation or loss of greater than 400 mL of blood within the previous 3 months
21. Subjects who are taking, or have taken, any prescribed or over-the-counter drug (other than 4 g per day paracetamol and HRT/hormonal contraception) or herbal remedies in the 14 days before IMP administration (see Section 11.4). Exceptions may apply on a case by case basis, if considered not to interfere with the objectives of the study, as agreed by the PI and sponsor's medical monitor.
22. Failure to satisfy the investigator of fitness to participate for any other reason
