To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Oral ES-481[Blood for PK analysis will be collected at 8 AM (time 0 hours, prior to the oral dose of study drug /placebo and after an overnight fast, at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours following the oral administration of study drug/placebo on Day 1 and at 36 and 48 (Day 2) hours after the oral administration of study drug/placebo on Day 2. <br><br>Below PK parameters will be assessed derived from plasma data.<br><br>Peak concentration in plasma (Cmax);<br>Time to peak concentration in plasma (Tmax);<br>Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUClast);<br>AUC from time zero to infinity (AUCinf);<br>Apparent total body clearance from plasma (CL)<br>Apparent renal clearance from plasma (CLr);<br>Elimination half-life (t½);]
