Inclusion criteria

* A signed and dated informed consent form before any study-specific screening procedure was performed; * Male or female subjects aged 18 to 45 years, inclusive; * Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 inclusive; * Healthy as determined by pre-study medical history, physical examination, vital signs, complete neurological examination and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG); * Negative tests for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti- hepatitis C virus antibodies (HCV Ab) and anti-human immunodeficiency virus antibodies (HIV-1 and HIV-2 Ab) at screening; * Clinical laboratory test results clinically acceptable at screening and admission to each treatment period; * Negative screen for alcohol and drugs of abuse at screening and admission to each treatment period; * Non-smokers or ex-smokers for at least 3 months; * Able to participate, and willing to give written informed consent and comply with the study restrictions. * If female: * She was not of childbearing potential by reason of surgery or, if of childbearing potential, she used an effective non-hormonal method of contraception \[intrauterine device or intrauterine system; condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical or vault caps) with spermicidal foam or gel or film or cream or suppository; true abstinence; or vasectomized male partner, provided that he was the sole partner of that subject\] for all the duration of the study; * She had a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at admission to each treatment period.

Exclusion criteria

* Subjects who had a clinically relevant history or presence of respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, haematological, lymphatic, neurological, cardiovascular, psychiatric, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, immunological, dermatological, endocrine, connective tissue diseases or disorders, or had a clinically relevant surgical history; * Had clinically relevant findings in laboratory tests, particularly any abnormality in the coagulation tests, or any abnormality in the liver function tests; * Had a history of relevant atopy or drug hypersensitivity; * Had a history of alcoholism and/or drug abuse; * Consumed more than 14 units of alcohol per week \[1 unit of alcohol = 280 mL beer (3-4°) = 100 mL wine (10-12°) = 30 mL spirits (40°)\]; * Had a significant infection or known inflammatory process on screening or admission to each treatment period; * Had acute gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, heartburn) at the time of screening or admission to each treatment period; * Had used medicines within 2 weeks of admission to first period that could affect the safety or other study assessments, in the Investigator's opinion; * Had previously received opicapone; * Had used any investigational drug or participated in any clinical trial within 90 days prior to screening; * Had participated in more than 2 clinical trials within the 12 months prior to screening; * Had donated or received any blood or blood products within the 3 months prior to screening; * Were vegetarians, vegans or had medical dietary restrictions; * Could not communicate reliably with the Investigator; * Were unlikely to co-operate with the requirements of the study; * Were unwilling or unable to give written informed consent; If female: * She was pregnant or breast-feeding.
