SRT2379 is a potent small molecule activator of SIRT1 that has been found to inhibit systemic inflammation induced by intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of a single administration of SRT2379, at multiple-dose levels, on the inflammatory response to low dose endotoxin.

SRT2379 is supplied as hard gelatin capsules containing either 25mg or 250mg free-base equivalent of SRT23790 drug substance as its succinate salt.
For the placebo capsules, the SRT2379 drug substance will be replaced by microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH200) to visually match the SRT2379 investigational product.

Clinical signs and symptoms of inflammation will be used as a measure of the effect of multiple-dose levels of SRT2379 on the inflammatory response in normal healthy male subjects exposed to low-dose endotoxin (LPS).
Time frame: 12 days
Laboratory parameters of inflammation will be used as a measure of the effect of multiple-dose levels of SRT2379 on the inflammatory response in normal healthy male subjects exposed to low-dose endotoxin (LPS).
Time frame: 12 days
Plasma levels of SRT2379 will be measured to assess the pharmacokinetics of SRT2379 in healthy male subjects exposed to low-dose endotoxin (LPS).
Time frame: 2 days
Number of participants with adverse events and incidence of adverse events will be used as a measure of safety and tolerability of multiple-dose levels of SRT2379 in healthy male subjects exposed to low-dose endotoxin (LPS).
Time frame: 34 days
