2. Age 18-65yrs, both inclusive

3. Participants with hepatic impairment will be classified by the Modified Child-Pugh classification with Grade B (Score7-9).

4. Participants with Normal Renal function test.

5. Negative for HIV and HCV.

6. Peripheral smear or Rapid diagnostic test negative for malarial parasite.

7. Willing to give written Informed Consent and comply with all protocol requirements.

Inclusion criteria for normal healthy participants:

1. Participants of either gender

2. Age 18-65yrs, both inclusive.

3. Normal hematology, biochemistry and urine analysis.

4. Negative for HIV, HCV and HBsAg.

5. Peripheral smear or Rapid diagnostic test negative for malarial parasite.

Exclusion Criteria

2. Participation in any clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to dosing.

3. History of blood donation or bleeding of 300 mL or more of blood within 8 weeks prior to study start.

4. History of clinically significant drug allergy; history of atopic allergy (asthma, urticaria, eczematous dermatitis).

5. Known hypersensitivity to primaquine or related drugs (e.g., iodoquinol) as per history taking.

6. Persons receiving treatment with other potentially hemolytic drugs. (for tuberculosis, HIV, or any drugs that have hemolytic potential in G6PD individuals including sulphonamides, dapsone, nitrofurantoin, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, methylene blue, toluidine blue, phenazopyridine, and co-trimoxazole).

7. Use of antimalarials within two weeks before contact with the study team as reported by the patient.[based on history taking]
