2.Healthy male and female volunteers. Women of childbearing potential (pre-menopausal, not surgically sterile for at least 3 months prior to the time of screening) must use a highly effective contraceptive method throughout the study such as: implants, injectables, hormonal contraceptives and condom or double barrier contraception (i.e., condom + diaphragm/spermicidal gel or foam), sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner and must have a confirmed negative pregnancy test at Screening Visit. Men must use safe contraceptive measures (i.e., condom/spermicidal gel or foam, sexual abstinence or be vasectomised) during the study.
3.Subjects aged =18 and =55 years at screening.
4.Caucasian (at least one parent of Caucasian origin).
5.Body Mass Index =18.5 and =30.0 kg/m2.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 24
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

1.History or presence of any clinically significant gastrointestinal pathology (e.g., chronic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, major surgery of the gastrointestinal tract, gastroduodenal ulcer, or previous or active gastrointestinal bleeding), unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., diarrhoea, vomiting), liver or kidney disease or other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug.
2.Any clinically significant abnormality identified on physical examination, laboratory tests, ECG or vital signs at the time of screening that in the judgment of the Investigator would preclude safe completion of the study or constrain pharmacokinetic assessment.
3.History or presence of asthma (including aspirin-induced asthma) or nasal polyps.
4.History of angioneurotic oedema associated with previous ACE (angiotensin-1 converting enzyme) inhibitor therapy, or hereditary/idiopathic angioneurotic oedema.
5.Any planned procedures, diagnostic tests or hospital admissions during the study duration.
6.Positive results of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV tests.
7.Intake or administration of any systemic or topical medication (including multivitamin or mineral preparations), OTC (over the counter) or herbal dietary supplements (e.g., St. John's Worth, kava kava), within 4 weeks prior to the start of the study, when the terminal elimination half-life of these products does not allow for their complete elimination from the body before the beginning of the study. An exception is hormonal contraceptives for women with childbearing potential.
8.History of severe allergy or allergic reactions to the study drug or related drugs (any other ACE inhibitor) and products (including excipients of the formulations, for example lactose).
9.History of significant alcohol abuse within six months of the Screening Visit or any indication of the regular use of more than two units of alcohol per day (1 unit = 150 mL of wine or 360 mL of beer or 45 mL of 40% alcohol).

11.Breastfeeding.
