Laboratory values are considered acceptable if the severity is less than or equal to Grade 1, according to the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases / National Institutes of Health) (DAIDS) Grading Scale and within normal reference ranges for other laboratory parameters not defined by DAIDS. Participation of subjects with abnormal laboratory values greater than Grade 1 (e.g., Creatine phosphokinase (CPK), amylase, triglycerides) is subject to approval by the Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BIPI) clinical monitor

2. Age ≥18 and ≤60 years

3. Body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 and ≤35.0 kg/m2

5. Willingness of subjects to abstain from ingesting the following foods and substances beginning 2 weeks before administration of any study medication and until the end of the study: grapefruit or grapefruit juice, red wine, Seville oranges, St. John's Wort and Milk Thistle

6. Willingness of subjects to abstain from use of alcohol within 72 hours before administration of study medication and to the end of the study

7. Willingness of subjects to abstain from the following substances within 72 hours before administration of study medication: garlic supplements and methylxanthine containing foods or drinks (including coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, chocolate, etc.)

Exclusion Criteria

1. Chronic gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders

2. Surgery of gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy)

4. History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts

5. Chronic or relevant acute infections

6. History of allergies or hypersensitivity (including drug allergies) that are deemed relevant to the trial, as judged by the investigator

7. Intake of drugs with a long half-life (>24 hours) within 1 month or less than 10 half-lives of the drug before administration of study drug or during the trial

8. Use of drugs that might reasonably influence the results of the trial (based on knowledge at the time of the protocol's preparation) within 10 days before administration of study drug or during the trial

9. Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within 30 days before administration of study drug or during the trial.

10. Smoker (more than 10 cigarettes per day, 3 cigars per day or 3 pipes per day)

11. Inability to refrain from smoking 24 hours before receiving study medication and on trial days when pharmacokinetic (PK) data are collected

12. High level of alcohol use (more than 60 grams per day)

13. Illicit drug use (i.e., positive urine test for illicit prescription or non-prescription drugs or drugs of abuse)

14. Veins unsuited for i.v. puncture on either arm (e.g., veins that are difficult to locate, access or puncture veins with a tendency to rupture during or after puncture)

15. Blood donation (more than 100 mL within 4 weeks before administration of study medication or during the trial)

20. Heart rate at screening of >90 bpm or <45 bpm

21. Seated systolic blood pressure either <95 mm Hg or >160 mm Hg

22. Any screening ECG value outside of the reference range of clinical relevance

23. Inability to adhere to dietary regimen of the study centre
