A Single Center, Single Dose, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered TIX100 in Healthy Subjects

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects aged 18-70 years, both genders.

3. Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to utilize condoms for the duration of the study.

4. Female subjects of child-bearing potential with negative urine pregnancy tests and who agree to use double-barrier contraception during the study. The primary contraception may be either hormonal implant or hormonal or non-hormonal intrauterine device, and the secondary (barrier) method of contraception with condom and/or with spermicide.

5. Female subjects of non-child-bearing potential (i.e. tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or postmenopausal).

6. Body mass index (BMI) 18.5 - 29.9 kg/m2

7. HbA1c <6.0%

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of excessive alcohol use (defined as >21 drinks per week for males and >14 drinks per week for females), recreational drug use or drugs of abuse within the past three months, or failure on urinary drug screen.

8. Liver function tests (i.e., ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase) greater than twice the upper limit of normal upon repeated measurements.
9. Diseases interfering with metabolism and/or ingestive behavior (e.g., myxedema, Cushing's disease, schizophrenia, major psychoses, unmanaged depression).
10. Use of drugs approved for the treatment of obesity.
11. Any clinically significant abnormality following the Investigator's review of the physical examination and clinical laboratory tests.
12. A baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval after repeated measurements of >450 ms; a history of unexplained syncope, cardiac arrest, unexplained cardiac arrhythmias or torsades de pointes, structural heart disease, or a family history of LQTS.
13. Participation in an investigational drug trial within three months prior to dosing in the present study.
