6. Electrocardiogram (ECG) without clinically significant abnormalities.

Urinalysis demonstrating < +1 glucose, and +1 protein.

7. If female, must have a negative pregnancy test at screening

8. Negative urine test for substances of abuse, including opiates, per clinical pharmacology unit standards at screening and clinic check-in.

9. Negative serology tests for HIV, hepatitis B surface antigen, and hepatitis C virus antibody.

10. Weight > 50 Kg and a body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 32.0 kg/m (inclusive).

11. Non-smoker of tobacco for a minimum of the past 3 months, and negative urine continine test.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Oral temperature > 38°C or current illness.

2. History of seizures, epilepsy, or recognized increase risk of seizure (e.g., head trauma, metabolic disorders, alcohol or drug withdrawal).

3. History of cirrhosis or laboratory evidence of liver disease.

4. Having undergone gall bladder removal.

5. Use of alcohol within 24 hours of day -1 until the end of the study; and grapefruit, grapefruit-related citrus fruits (e.g., Seville oranges, pomelos), or grapefruit juice or grapefruit-related juices within 7 days of study drug administration and until the end of the study.

6. History of previous anaphylaxis, severe allergic reaction to tramadol, codeine, or other opioid drugs.

8. Females must not be currently pregnant or breast feeding.

9. Unlikely to comply with the study protocol.

10. Known or suspected alcohol or drug abuse within the past 6 months.

11. Received another investigational agent within 4 weeks of Day -1, or within five half-lives of Day -1, whichever is longer; or receiving any other investigational agent during this study.

12. Any concurrent disease or condition that in the opinion of the investigator impairs the subject's ability to complete the trial.
