This will be a phase 1 randomized, double-blind, 2-period, 2-sequence crossover trial enrolling 6 healthy volunteers to assess the impact of IV-administered Bendavia on the endothelial dysfunction induced by a single cigarette.

Bendavia for infusion Intravenous infusion (0.25mg/kg/hr) for 4 hours
Sterile saline for infusion (0.9%) Intravenous infusion for 4 hours
One unfiltered cigarette will be smoked at approximately 30 minutes post-study-drug administration start.

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) between group mean endothelial function (EndoPAT Index) following smoking a single cigarette with and without Bendavia
Endothelial function will be determined using EndoPAT 2000 (Itamar Medical Ltd) prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of endothelial function (EndoPAT Index) between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed. EndoPAT quantifies the endothelium-mediated changes in vascular tone. A post-occlusion to pre-occlusion ratio is calculated providing the EndoPAT index.
Time frame: Baseline, +30, +60, +90 minutes post-study-drug administration start
Anova between group mean inflammatory laboratory marker (hs-CRP; mg/L) after smoking one cigarette with and without Bendavia
hs-CRP will be evaluated prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of hs-CRP levels between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.
Time frame: Baseline to 24 hours post-study-drug administration
ANOVA between group means of urinary 8-isoprostane (ng/mg of creatinine) after smoking one cigarette with and without Bendavia
8-isoprostane will be measured prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of laboratory results between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.
Time frame: Baseline to 48 hours post-study-drug administration
Number adverse events with and without Bendavia
Adverse events will be tabulated by treatment group. No statistical analysis will be preformed.
Time frame: Baseline to Study Day 10
Assessment of Bendavia exposure measured by area Under the Curve (AUC; ng*hr/mL)

Bendavia levels will be measured and pharmacokinetic parameters reported.
Time frame: Baseline to 48 hours post-study-drug administration
ANOVA between group means of urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (pg/mL) after smoking one cigarette with and without Bendavia
8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine will be measured prior to and after smoking of one unfiltered cigarette and prior to and after initiation of study drug. Group comparison of laboratory results between placebo and active study drug within a subject will be performed.
Time frame: Baseline to 48 hours post-study-drug administration
