Brief Summary

This study will be conducted in healthy male or female subjects using a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose design. Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled; 3 healthy subjects in Cohorts 1 and 2 (2 active, 1 placebo) and 8 healthy subjects in Cohorts 3 to 5 (6 active, 2 placebo). The following CPSI-2364 doses are proposed: 1 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 90 mg, and 270 mg.Safety will be evaluated throughout the study and include physical examinations, vital signs assessments, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), routine clinical laboratory tests (including blood chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis), and adverse event (AE) assessments. Vital sign assessments and 12-lead ECGs will be performed repeatedly over the 24-hour observation period. Venous blood samples will be taken at specified intervals and tested for the presence of CPSI-2364.

• in good health as determined by the Investigator based on medical history, physical examination, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests;
• with a body mass index (BMI) of 19 to 30 kg/m2, inclusive;
• nonsmokers (refrained from any tobacco usage, including smokeless tobacco, nicotine patches, etc., for 6 months prior to the administration of the study medication), subjects must have nicotine levels below those measured for smokers (less than 400 ng/mL);
• agrees to abstain from alcohol intake 48 hours before each administration of study agent and during inpatient portion of the study (Days -1 to 2);
• agrees to limit caffeine/methylxanthine (e.g., coffee, tea, chocolate, or caffeine-containing soft drinks) intake to less than 300 mg/day for the duration of the study (300 mg of caffeine is equal to approximately 3 cups of coffee or 6 cola drinks);
• agrees not to consume food or beverages containing grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, or quinine (e.g., tonic water) from 72 hours prior to study Day -1 until after the last PK sample is collected;
• capable of understanding and complying with the protocol; willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements;
• have no relevant food allergies (e.g., eggs or other components of standard clinic meals); and
• must have signed the informed consent document prior to performance of any study related procedures.

You may not qualify if:

• currently have, or have a history of, disease or dysfunction of the renal, hepatic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, endocrine, hematologic, neurological, immune, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or other body system, that is clinically significant in the opinion of the Investigator;
• likely hypersensitivity or allergies to CPSI-2364, any components of CPSI-2364, or any drug within the same class of drug, minor drug allergies to a drug in other drug class may be approved by the Investigator if not considered of clinical relevance;
• any subject with a clinically significant mental or physical illness (in the opinion of the Investigator/Medical Advisor) within 1 year prior to the first dose, including a history of alcohol and/or drug abuse (as defined by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition guidelines) within 1 year prior to the first dose of study medication;
• abnormal pre-admission vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, and urinanalysis which are considered clinically significant by the Investigator and Sponsor (or designee);
• abnormal clinical laboratory evaluations, particularly abnormal creatinine, calculated GFR (abnormal defined as \> 60 mL/min), and liver function tests. (Minor excursions from the normal range may be allowed if the clinical picture is otherwise normal and they are considered clinically insignificant by the Investigator and Sponsor \[or designee\]) ;
• any subject considering or scheduled to undergo any surgical procedure during the duration of the study;
• have an acute illness within 7 days prior to study agent administration or have had a hospitalization within 1 month prior to study agent administration;
• any subject who has received any known hepatic or renal clearance altering agents (eg, erythromycin, cimetidine, barbiturates, phenothiazines, or herbal/plant-derived preparations such as St. John's Wort, etc.) for a period of 90 days prior to the first dose of study medication;
