Open Label, Sequential Dosing , Single Ascending Dose and Multiple Dose Safety Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study

Single ascending dose (SAD) of four cohorts (01, 02, 03, and 04) for the test product (25, 100, 250, and 500 mg, respectively).

Subjects who will participate in cohort no. 01 (N= 18 subjects) will be randomized to receive a single dose of the test product 25 mg (N= 10 subjects) or a single dose of the reference product 500 mg (N= 08 subjects). The randomization ratio will be 5:4 for T: R Study Part II: Multiple doses of three treatment arms will be administered in one cohort (N= 32, parallel design).

• Two treatment arms of the test product: T1: the dose lower than maximum tolerated dose (MTD-1) determined in Study Part I, N=12 subjects.

T2: maximum tolerated dose determined in Study Part I, N=12 subjects.

• One treatment arm of the reference product: R: 500 mg, N= 08 subjects The randomization ratio will be 3:3:2 for T1:T2: R]

Inclusion criteria

• The subject is healthy female adult of population aged between 40 to 60 years old (inclusive) at screening.
• The subject has a body weight not less than 50 Kg and according to the BMI range (18.5 - 30 Kg/m2)6 (inclusive) at screening.

-. The subject is physically and mentally healthy as judged by means of medical and standard laboratory examinations at screening.

• The findings of the subject are within the range of clinical acceptability in medical history, and physical examination, and laboratory results "other than RBC indices (MCH, MCV and MCHC), and hemoglobin, " within "normal ranges" for the laboratory tests performed or abnormalities considered insignificant and justified by the principal/clinical sub- investigator at screening.
• The subject results are within normal range or ± 5% of medical lab reference range for all RBC indices (MCH, MCV and MCHC) and hemoglobin, at screening

-. The subject's platelets count is within medical lab reference range at screening.

• The subject has a normal ECG (12 leads), including normal QTc (below 440 msec), at screening

• The subject's chest X-ray, performed within 6 months before screening (if available) or at screening, is normal or considered clinically acceptable with no evidence of ongoing or past serious infections, as per the investigator judgment at screening.
• The subject vital signs in sitting position are within the following ranges at screening, and on admission day (before admission):

Blood Pressure:

Systolic: (90 - 140) mmHg Diastolic: (60-90) mmHg Body Temperature: (36.1 - 37.2) ºC Pulse rate: 60 to 100 beat per minute. Respiratory rate: 12-18 bpm.

• Kidney function tests (Creatinine, Potassium and Sodium) are within the medical lab reference range and kidney function tests (Blood Urea Nitrogen, and uric acid) are considered clinically acceptable as per the investigator judgment at screening. If creatinine is below the lower normal limit while the other parameters are normal, it will be considered as clinically not significant unless otherwise judged by the investigator.
• Liver function tests (AST, ALT, GGT, and bilirubin (total, direct, and indirect)) results are within the medical lab reference ranges and liver function tests (Alkaline phosphatase, total protein, and albumin) are considered clinically acceptable as per PI / SI judgment at screening.

Exclusion criteria
