Subjects must meet all the following inclusion criteria to be eligible:

Male or female between 18 and 45 years of age, inclusive, at time of informed consent.

Female subjects of childbearing potential must be non-lactating, not pregnant as confirmed by a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening and admission to Clinical Research Unit, and using, and agree to continue using, an effective method of contraception for at least 4 weeks prior to first study drug administration until 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must be surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, oophorectomy) or post-menopausal (no menses for >1 year with follicle stimulating hormone >40 U/L at Screening)
Female subjects of childbearing potential must not donate ova during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
Male subjects who have not had a vasectomy and/or Subjects who have had a vasectomy but have not had 2 post surgery negative tests for sperm must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception from time of first dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose of the study drug, and to not donate sperm during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

Healthy per investigator judgment as documented by medical history, physical examination, vital sign assessments, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory assessments, and general observations.

At Screening, abnormalities or deviations outside the normal ranges for any clinical assessments that are considered clinically significant by the Investigator (laboratory tests, ECG, vital signs) may be repeated once at the discretion of the Investigator(s), and results that continue to be outside the normal ranges must be judged by the investigator to be not clinically significant and acceptable for study participation.
On admission to Clinical Research Unit, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, and thyroid values must be within the upper limits of the normal range. Subjects with isolated elevation of bilirubin and presumptive Gilbert's syndrome are permissible. All other laboratory test results that are outside the reference range on admission to CRU and judged by the investigator to be not clinically significant may optionally be repeated. Results that continue to be outside the reference range must be judged by the investigator to be not clinically significant and acceptable for study participation.
Subject must demonstrate clinical euthyroidism as assessed by a thyroid profile utilizing TSH and Free T4 testing at screening.

Body mass index between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m2, with a minimum body weight of 45 kg for females and 50 kg for males, inclusive. Additional inclusion criteria for the high BMI single dose cohort:

a. Body mass index > 30.0 kg/m2, waist circumference > 41"

Understands the procedures and requirements of the study and provides written informed consent and authorization for protected health information disclosure.
Willing and able to comply with the requirements of the study protocol.

EXCLUSION:

Subjects presenting with any of the following will not qualify for entry into the study:

History of cancer (except treated non-melanoma skin cancer) or history of chemotherapy use within 5 years prior to Screening.
Any surgical or medical condition or history that, in the opinion of the investigator, may potentially alter the absorption, metabolism, or excretion of study treatment, such as, but not limited to gastric bypass surgery or small bowel resections.
Contraindication to study drug or its excipients and/or history of allergic or anaphylactic reactions.
Resting heart rate <45 or >100 bpm; blood pressure < 90 or >140 systolic, or <50 or >100 diastolic.

On screening ECG and by history:

A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTcF interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval > 450 msec for males and >470 msec for females).
A history of additional risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (TdP) (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome).

Taking any of the following prohibited medications:

For non-obese cohorts:

a. Any prescription medication (with the exception of all hormonal contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies (oral, injectable, transdermal or implanted)) or over the counter multi-vitamin supplement, including products with CBD or any non-prescription products (including herbal-containing preparations but excluding acetaminophen) within 14 days prior to admission to CRU.

For obese cohort:

a. Limited background prescription medications are permitted to manage complications of obesity, but any drug known to inhibit or induce cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and/or P-glycoprotein including St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to admission to CRU, is prohibited. Also prohibited is the use of concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval identified in the https://crediblemeds.org/ website list category of 'Known Risk'.

History of significant drug abuse within one year prior to Screening or use of soft drugs (such as marijuana) within 3 months prior to the Screening visit or hard drugs (such as cocaine, phencyclidine [PCP], opioid derivatives including heroin, and amphetamine derivatives) within 1 year prior to screening.
History of regular alcohol consumption exceeding 14 drinks/week [1 drink = 5 ounces (150 mL) of wine or 12 ounces (360 mL) of beer or 1.5 ounces (45 mL) of hard liquor] within 6 months of Screening.
