A Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of HSK3486 in Healthy Subjects.

A Phase I, Placebo and Positive-controlled, Dose-escalation Study to Determine the Safety, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics of a Single Intravenous Injection of HSK3486 in Healthy Subjects

This is the first clinical trial of HSK3486 and will be conducted in healthy volunteers to determine the safety, tolerability (including pain on injection), and PK(only to be assessed for subjects who are randomized to HSK3486 in Cohorts 3 to 8)and PD and profiles of HSK3486 administered as a single IV injection.

Results from this study will supports further clinical development of HSK3486. This study will be performed in compliance with the protocol, International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP) and local regulatory requirements. Aspects of the study concerned with the investigational product will meet the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Inclusion Criteria:

• History of CS problems with general anesthesia.
• Current smoker, or a history of regular (more than weekly) use of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products within 2 months prior to screening.
• History of excessive alcohol intake (more than four standard drinks daily, on average) or use of recreational drugs within the last 3 months.

• Standard donation of blood within 30 days of the study.
• Donation of plasma or participation in a plasmapheresis program within 7 days preceding this study.
• Receipt of any investigational study drug within 30 days prior to screening.
• Unable to fast for the 6 hours prior to Investigational Product administration.
