Brief summary

1. Study Objective \<Part 1\> To evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112 after multiple oral administration in healthy female subjects. \<Part 2\> To evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112 after multiple oral administration in obese subjects. 2. Background The previous phase 1 clinical trials investigating HSG4112 only included healthy male subjects, and food effect was observed in theses studies - the plasma exposure to HSG4112 following administration under fed conditions was approximately 2.5 times higher compared to the exposure following administration under fasted conditions. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the safety of HSG4112 in healthy female subjects and obese subjects following the administration of HSG4112 under fed conditions. 3. Study Design and Plan \<Part 1\> This study is a dose block-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dosing, phase 1 clinical study. A unique randomization number will be assigned to each subject deemed eligible to participate in the study based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Each subject will be randomized to one of the two dose groups. In each dose group, 8 subjects will be randomized to receive HSG4112 and 2 subjects will be randomized to receive placebo. The subjects will be studied in a double-blind manner and will receive the investigational product (i.e., HSG4112 or placebo) via once-daily oral administration for 14 consecutive days. After the Post-Study Visit of the last volunteer in the 480 mg dose group, the Investigator will review all the available safety data in a blinded manner to ensure if it is safe to proceed with the 720 mg dose group. In order to evaluate safety and tolerability, assessments, such as vital signs, 12-lead ECG, laboratory test, pregnancy test, physical examination, and adverse event monitoring will be performed. Blood samples will be collected to evaluate the pharcokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of HSG4112. \<Part 2\> This study is a dose block-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dosing, phase 1 clinical study. A unique randomization number will be assigned to each subject deemed eligible to participate in the study based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Inclusion criteria

\<Part 1\> Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able to comprehend and willing to sign an informed consent form approved by the IRB before screening. 2. Females between 19 and 50 years of age at screening. 3. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 24.9. * BMI (kg/m2) = Body weight (kg) / {Height (m)2} 4. In good health, determined by no clinically significant findings from medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory evaluations at screening, or subjects who are deemed acceptable by the Investigator regardless of the test results. 5. Not pregnant or lactating, with a regular menstrual cycle (i.e., 28±7 days).

Exclusion criteria

1. Significant history or clinical manifestation of any hepatic, kidney, neurological, immune, respiratory, endocrine, hematological, neoplastic, or cardiovascular disease, or psychiatric disorder (e.g., mood disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder). 2. History of stomach or intestinal disorders (e.g., Chrons disease, ulcer) or surgeries - not including appendectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, or herniotomy - which may affect the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic evaluation of the investigational product. 3. Significant history or clinical manifestation of hypersensitivity to any drug compound (e.g., licorice, aspirin, antibiotics). 4. One or more of the following laboratory test results at screening: * ALT \> 60 IU/L * Glucose (fasting) \> 100 mg/dL or \< 70 mg/dL 5. Systolic blood pressure of \< 90 mmHg or \> 150 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure of \< 60 mgHg or \> 100 mmHg as determined by vital signs monitored after resting in sitting position for at least 3 minutes. 6. History of drug/chemical abuse or tested positive in urine drug screen. 7. Use or intend to use any prescription medications/products or phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant-derived preparations within 14 days prior to dosing, or any nonprescription medications/products (i.e., over-the-counter (OTC) drugs), health products, or vitamins within 7 days prior to dosing, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator. 8. Participation in any clinical study or bioequivalence study involving administration of an investigational drug, including any study investigating HSG4112, within 6 months prior to dosing (i.e., within 6 months of the last dose from the previous study). 9.
