        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Healthy young males or females between the ages of 21 to 45, inclusive (Cohorts 1, 2,
             3 and 7; female subjects must not be pregnant or breastfeeding), and healthy elderly
             males or females ≥ 65 years of age (Cohorts 4, 5, 6).

          2. Body mass index between 18 kg/m2 to 32 kg/m2, inclusive, and body weight of ≥50 kg
             (110 pounds).

          3. Female subjects must be surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or
             bilateral oophorectomy at least 6 months prior to dosing), at least two years
             post-menopausal, or willing to use two barrier methods of contraception from initial
             screening until one month after taking the last dose of study drug. Barrier methods of
             contraception include diaphragm, cervical cap, male condom, female condom, and
             spermicidal foam and sponges. Menopausal status declared by females in the young
             cohorts will be verified by a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test at Screening. In
             addition, all females must have a negative pregnancy test within 48 hours before
             dosing on Day 1 regardless of childbearing potential.

          4. Male subjects must be willing to inform female partners of their participation in the
             study and must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (vasectomy performed at
             least 6 months prior to dosing or use at least one barrier method of birth control).

          5. Able to understand the study procedures, voluntarily consent to participate in this
             study, and provide written informed consent prior to start of any study-specific
             procedures.

          6. Willing and able to remain in the study unit for the entire duration of the
             confinement period, and return for outpatient visits.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Clinically significant abnormality, in the Investigator's judgement, indicated by the
             current hematology, biochemistry, or urinalysis tests, or from medical history, social
             history, vital signs, or physical examination.

          2. Positive serology results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), hepatitis C virus
             (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

          3. Marked hypotension (systolic blood pressure [BP] ˂90 mmHg or diastolic BP ˂50 mmHg) or
             hypertension (systolic BP ˃150 mmHg or diastolic BP ˃100 mmHg) based on supine and
             sitting values obtained at Screening, Day-1, or Day 1 predose. Out-of-range vital
             signs may be repeated once during each eligibility assessment (prior to the start of
             dosing on Day 1).

          4. Marked bradycardia (heart rate ˂45 beats per minute [bpm]) or tachycardia (heart rate
             ˃110 bpm) based on supine ECG values obtained at Screening, Day -1, or Day 1 predose.
             Out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once at each eligibility assessment (prior to
             the start of dosing on Day 1).

          5. Current or past history of significant (in the Investigator's judgement)
             cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, pulmonary, renal, or liver disease. Stable,
             well-controlled hypertension and hyperlipidemias are allowed (see Exclusion #10).

          6. History of hematological disorders (e.g., thrombocytopenia) in the immediate family
             (i.e., parents and siblings).

          7. Clinically important or significant conduction abnormalities on single ECG (including
             QTc interval ˃450 msec) or evidence or history of long QT syndrome. This exclusion
             applies to the ECGs obtained at Screening, Day -1, and Day 1 predose.

          8. Current or past history of gastric or duodenal ulcers or other diseases of the
             gastrointestinal tract that could interfere with absorption of study drug. Note:
             Subjects with a history of appendectomy or cholecystectomy may be enrolled.

          9. Active acute or chronic infectious diseases.

         10. Unable to discontinue medications including psychotropic drugs, sedative
             antihistamines, or other centrally active medications [e.g., CNS beta blockers], and
             moderate to strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, CYP2D6, or other cytochromes).
             Other prescription or non-prescription drugs such as antihypertensive or cholesterol
             lowering drugs are allowed if, in the Investigator's judgement, they would not
             interfere with the test medication or the cognitive testing.

         11. Any history of alcohol or drug abuse within the previous year prior to the Screening
             visit (per the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
             Disorders, 5th Edition: DSM-5), or regular (daily) consumption of alcohol exceeding
             two bottles of beer, or the equivalent amount of other forms of alcohol (1 serving =
             12 oz beer, 5.0 oz wine, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits).

         12. Any use of alcohol within 24 hours of admission into the study on Day -2.

         13. Active smokers or tobacco users (e.g., chew and snuff) who are unable to discontinue
             tobacco use at least 3 months prior to admission to the study on Day -2 and refrain
             from using tobacco during the study treatment and evaluation period.

         14. Inability or unwillingness to comply with the protocol, or likely inability to
             complete the study.

         15. Participation in other clinical studies involving investigational drug within the
             previous 30 days prior to the Screening visit.

             positive alcohol result (upon admission).

         18. History of allergy to penicillin or sulfonamides, or any other clinically significant
             drug allergy that includes symptoms such as shortness of breath, rash, or edema.

             Function Assessments (elderly cohorts).

         20. A suicidal ideation intensity score of 2 or higher per screening C-SSRS assessment
             and/or any suicidal behavior within the past 30 days.
