Brief summary: This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GSK356278 in male volunteers

Detailed description: To evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of GSK356278 and may assess the effect of food on GSK356278 pharmacokinetics. They study will assess the compound's effect on nausea, emesis and alertness. Close monitoring of cardiovascular parameters will be included.

* Males aged between 18 and 65 years inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Males must agree to appropriate forms of contraception from administration of first dose through to 3 months after taking the final dose.
* Body weight greater than or equal to 50 kg and BMI within the range of 18-29.9 m2 (inclusive)
* Capable of giving written informed consent.
* QTcB or QTcF less than 450 msec

Exclusion Criteria:
