There are no known special safety considerations with the active ingredient in Aes-103 (5-HMF). In recent, placebo controlled, clinical safety tests, Aes-103 was given in single doses of 300 mg, 1000 mg,2000 mg and 4000 mg to healthy normal volunteers. Additionally, the toxicological effects of Aes-103 have been studied when given acutely, sub-acutely, and chronically in rodents, and for up to 28 days in dogs. Based on these safety studies, single doses of Aes-103 are expected to have no significant negative/toxicological effect at the doses being evaluated in this study.
