Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the penetration of TR-700 into subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle after a single oral dose of 600 mg TR-701

Detailed description

This study will be conducted in two parts: a Pilot Study and a Main Study. The Pilot Study will be conducted to assess recovery of exogenously administered TR-700 (microbiologically active moiety) via microdialysis. In the Main Study, pharmacokinetics of TR-700 will be determined in both soft tissues (via microdialysis) and plasma after a single oral dose of 600 mg TR-701 (prodrug).

Interventions

DRUGTR-700 (active moiety)

A TR-700 solution will be locally administered via a microdialysis probe into the skeletal muscle and subcutanous tissue (just under the skin) at a concentration of approximately 2 µg/mL at a flow rate of 1.5 µL/min for 60 minutes for a total maximum dose of 0.36 µg (0.18 µg per probe).

DRUGTR-701 (pro-drug)

Each subject enrolled in the Main study will receive a single oral dose of 600mg TR-701
