The goal of Parts A and B of this Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single (SAD) and multiple (MAD) ascending doses of oral JNT-517 in healthy participants. In Part C, the goal is to evaluate the differences in bioavailability between a tablet and suspension formulation of JNT-517 and the food effect in healthy volunteers. All participants in Part C will receive JNT-517. The goal of Part D is to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and effect on urinary Phe and other amino acids of JNT-517 in participants with phenylketonuria (PKU). Participants in Part D will receive either JNT-517 or placebo and will be blinded to their treatment assignment. The study consists of 4 parts: - Part A: SAD in healthy participants -randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled - Part B: MAD in healthy participants (14 days)-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled - Part C: Relative bioavailability of 2 formulations and food effect in healthy participants-randomized, open-label - Part D: Phase 1b in participants with PKU (4 weeks)-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled In each part, participants will complete a Screening Period, a Treatment Period, and a Follow-up Period for safety.

The first objective of the study is to evaluate whether a novel bio-signature (derived from a wide range of pro- and anti-nociceptive IL-1 family cytokine activity) will predict pain experienced and also release of underlying endogenous opioid neurotransmitters during an experimental nociceptive pain challenge, which will be performed while simultaneously quantifying mu-opioid receptor activity in the brain via [11C]-carfentanil PET neuroimaging in healthy subjects. Another objective is to evaluate whether an anti-inflammatory drug that reduces activation of IL-1b (minocycline) will perturb the balance between pro- and anti-nociceptive IL-1 cytokines and effect a reduction in pain experienced (and endogenous opioids released) during the experimental, nociceptive pain challenge. A final objective is to evaluate performance characteristics (sensitivity, accuracy, dynamic range) of the biosignature for the purpose of predicting post-operative pain.
