Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be excluded from participation if any of the following apply:

Known or suspected hypersensitivity to YM178 or any components of the formulation used
Pregnant or breast feeding within 6 months before screening assessment

Any clinically significant history of asthma, eczema, any other allergic condition or previous severe hypersensitivity to any drug (excluding non-active Hay-fever)
Any clinically significant history of any other disease or disorder - gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, neurological, dermatological, psychiatric or metabolic as judged by the medical investigator
Any clinically significant abnormality following the investigator's review of the pre-study physical examination, ECG and clinical laboratory tests
Abnormal pulse and/or blood pressure measurements at the pre-study visit as follows: Pulse <40 or >90 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg (blood pressure measurements taken in triplicate after subject has been resting in supine position for 5 min; pulse will be measured automatically)
A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval after repeated measurements of >450 ms, a history of unexplained syncope, cardiac arrest, unexplained cardiac arrhythmias or torsades de pointes, structural heart disease, or a family history of Long QT Syndrome (LQTS)

Regular use of any inducer of liver metabolism (e.g. barbiturates, rifampin) in the 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
Any use of drugs of abuse within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
History of drinking more than 14 units of alcohol per week (1 unit = 270 cc of beer or 40 cc of spirits or 1 glass of wine) within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
Positive test for drugs of abuse or positive alcohol test on the day of admission into the clinical unit
History of smoking more than 10 cigarettes (or equivalent amount of tobacco) per day within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
Participation in any clinical study within 3 months or participation in more than 3 clinical studies within 12 months, prior to the expected date of enrolment into the study
Donation of blood or blood products within 3 months prior to admission to the Clinical Unit
Positive serology test for HBsAg, anti HAV (IgM), anti-HCV or anti-HIV 1+2
Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not likely to complete the trial for any reason
Unwillingness to use additional barrier contraceptive methods for the course of the study and for one month after the end of study visit
Any clinical condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator would not allow safe completion of the study
