Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of PNU-100480 given for 14 or 28 days. Killing activity against the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB) will also be measured. The effect of adding an additional tuberculosis (TB) agent (given for 2 days) in addition to PNU-100480 will be evaluated. Linezolid open label to determine activity in whole blood assay (WBA).
Detailed description

Interventions
100 mg BID for 14 days
to match 100 mg BID for 14 days

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending oral doses of PNU-100480 administered as extemporaneously prepared suspension (EPS) over 14 and 28 days in healthy adult volunteers. | Monitor adverse events daily; safety eval pre-dose, specified times , discharge, follow-up/as needed |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To characterize the single dose and steady state pharmacokinetics of ascending oral doses of PNU-100480 administered over 14 and 28 days in healthy adult volunteers with regard to the parent drug and its metabolites. | Full and sparse PK sampling from Day 1 through final day of dosing |
| To characterize the bactericidal activity in blood of orally administered PNU-100480 against intracellular M. tuberculosis in relation to blood concentrations ofPNU-100480 and its metabolites. | Full and sparse sampling from Day 1 through final day of dosing |
| To characterize the effect of once a day administration of pyrazinamide for 2 days on the pharmacokinetics and bactericidal activity in blood of orally administered PNU-100480 against intracellular M. tuberculosis (Cohorts 5 and 6, Days 27-28 only). | Days 27-28 as applicable |
| To characterize pharmacokinetics and bactericidal activity in blood of orally administered linezolid against intracellular M. tuberculosis following 4 days of QD dosing. | As applicable up to Day 4 |
