The purpose of this study is to measure blood levels of proglumide after a single oral dose (400 mg) over a period of time and compare the blood levels to those with normal hepatic function (N=4) to determine if there is delayed metabolism and clearance of proglumide in those with hepatic impairment (HI) (N=8). Eligible subjects will provide a baseline blood and urine sample prior to ingesting proglumide 400 mg po. Blood will be collected from an intravenous catheter after ingestion at the following intervals: 1 hr, 3 hrs, 5 hrs, 7 hrs and 24 hr (± 4-5 hours). After 3 hrs and 5 hrs subjects will provide a urine sample. Samples will be analyzed by Mass Spectometry. Proglumide blood and urine levels in ng/ml will be plotted over time and the Cmax (peak plasma concentration), Tmax (time to reach Cmax) and T1/2 (elimination half time) calculated for each subject and compared to that of 4 healthy controls.
