5. Normal spirometry at screening as demonstrated by FEVI +/- 80% of predicted and FVC +/-
80% of predicted.

6. Adequate veins, as assessed by the Investigator or Investigator's designee, that are
suitable for the required number and frequency of PK blood draws in this study.

7. In otherwise good general health as determined by a complete medical history, physical
examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), blood chemistry profile, hematology, serology
(HIV-l/2Ab, HBsAg, HCV Ab), and urinalysis at screening.

8. Female participants (if of child-bearing potential and sexually active) and male
participants (if sexually active with a partner of child-bearing potential) who agree to
use a medically acceptable and effective birth control method throughout the study and for
one week following the end of the study.

Smokers must meet the following inclusion criteria (items 9-10):

9. A history of smoking> 15 cigarettes/day currently and for at least the last 2 years.

10. Serum cotinine +/-500 ng/mL at Screening Visit I.

Nonsmokers must meet the following inclusion criteria (items 11-12):

11. A history of never smoking> 5 cigarettes/day and not smoking at all for at least the
last 2 years prior to Visit I.

12. Serum cotinine :o 40 ng/mL at Screening Visit I and a negative urine cotinine test at
Visit 2 Day-I.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days ( or within 5 half-lives of the
investigational drug, if>30 days) prior to Visit I.

2. Significant hepatic, renal, gastroenterologic, cardiovascular endocrine, neurologic
(including history of seizures or stroke), or hematologic disease.

3. Any acute illness in the 5 days prior to Visit 2.

4. Upper respiratory tract infection within 6 weeks of Visit 2 or bronchitis or pneumonia
within 6 months of Visit 2.

5. Use of a bronchodilator for the treatment of wheezing within 12 months of Visit I.

6. Diagnosis of an active or chronic pulmonary disease.

7. Lung resection or other pulmonary surgery within 12 months of Visit I.

8. A history of allergy or intolerance to alprazolam.

9. Use of any other prescription or nonprescription medication--with the exception of
acetaminophen, ibuprofen or ongoing doses of oral contraceptives or vitamins--within 5

10. A history within the past 2 years of drug or alcohol dependence or abuse.

11. Positive test for alcohol or a positive urine screen for drugs of abuse at screening

12. A positive HIV test.

13. Breastfeeding or a positive pregnancy test at screening (female subjects).

14. Clinically significant ECG abnormality.

15. Hypotension or hypertension, at screening or baseline.

16. Poor veins in the opinion of the Investigator or the Investigator's designee such that
the participant is judged to likely have difficult venipuncture during the study.

17. Any other disease or condition, by history, physical examination, or laboratory
abnormalities that in the investigator's opinion, would present undue risk to the
subject, or may confound the interpretation of study results.

18. Participation in another clinical trial within 2 months of the beginning of the
present study, or blood donation or comparable blood loss (>350mL) within 2 months
before the present study.
