Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 65 years old;

2. Phase Ib: fasting sUA in the morning of screening period (fasted after 8:00 pm on the previous day) of healthy subjects meets the following requirement: 270 umol/l (4.5 mg/dL) ≤ sUA <420 umol/l (7 mg/dL)

   Phase IIa: hyperuricemia subjects should meet any of the following:

3. Subject's BMI range is 18.0~32.0 kg/m2 (inclusive);

4. Female subjects must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, surgically sterilized or ≥ 60 years old. Male subjects must be surgically sterilized or agree to practice sexual abstinence;

5. Results of routine blood tests, blood biochemical tests and routine urine tests are within the normal range or clinically insignificant as judged by the principle investigator.

6. Subjects have the ability to follow study and follow-up procedures.
