Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The purpose of this Study is to find out whether an investigational drug is safe and well tolerated. MW189 is being studied as a possible short-term treatment for people with different types of brain injury. MW189 has previously been given to healthy human volunteers as a single dose, and there were no significant problems or bad effects in people who received the Study drug. However, before it can be tested in people with brain injury, it is important to test MW189 in healthy volunteers when given multiple doses.

Detailed description: This is a phase 1b study. Written informed consent will be obtained from each study participant before any study-specific procedures or assessments are done.

At various time points noted below, pharmacokinetic (PK) blood sampling will be performed on study participants.

Throughout the study the investigator will be assessing adverse events and concomitant medication.

On-Study/On-Interventions Evaluations/procedures: Participants will arrive at the Phase 1 unit after fasting a minimum of 10 hours, for admission into the unit and will undergo procedures:

* Medical and medication histories

* Physical examination and weight
* Neurological exam
* Safety laboratory tests (blood and urine)
* Urine pregnancy test (females only)
* Alcohol screening (Breathalyzer)
* Urine drug screen
* Hepatitis B, C and HIV screening
* Randomize: Only participants who meet eligibility requirements will be randomized into the study.
