Significant renal disease as manifested by one or more of the following:

Creatinine clearance \<60mL/min. (estimated from serum creatinine (SCr) and demographic data using the MDRD calculation):

To calculate estimated GFR (mL/min/1.73m2) manually:

=186 x (SCr in mg/dL)-1.154 x (age)-0.203 x (0.742 if female) x (1.210 if African-American) =exp (5.228-1.154 x ln (SCr)-0.203x ln(age)-(0.299 if female) + (0.192 if African American)) (A link to a validated MDRD calculator on the internet is provided in the SRM.)

Heart Rate \< 50 and \>100bpm PR Interval \<120 and \> 220ms QRS duration \< 70 and \>120ms QTC Interval (Bazett)\* \> 450ms

Or, has clinically significant rhythm abnormalities identified during 24-hour Screening Holter assessment. Subjects with Left Bundle Branch Block are excluded from the study. Subjects with partial Right Bundle Branch Block may be considered for inclusion following consultation with the GSK Medical Monitor. Subjects with WPW syndrome are excluded from the study.

\*Note that if ECG abnormalities are identified, the ECG should be repeated two more times (with 5 minutes between ECG readings) and the average of the 3 values used to determine eligibility.

Systolic pressure \> 150mmHg or \<80mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 95mmHg or \<60mmHg at screening. Blood pressure assessments may be repeated once if needed, allowing adequate time for subject to rest.

Is taking prohibited medications. See Section 9.3 for a detailed list of prohibited medications. Note also:

The use of anti-diabetic agents other than those listed in Inclusion #7 is reason for exclusion and subjects will not be allowed to wash off of unapproved anti-diabetic medications in order to qualify for participation in this study.

Subjects must wash out from the following medications during the 7-day period prior to first dose, and must remain off these medications through discharge on post-last-dose of Period 2 (Part B) or Day 15 (Part C): all anti-diabetic medications specified in Inclusion #7, all statin agents, fat absorption blocking agents, bile acid sequestrants. Fibrates must be washed out for a 14-day period prior to first dose.

Vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John's Wort) are prohibited within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication and through discharge.

Unwilling to abstain from

Caffeine-or xanthine-containing products for 24 hours prior to dosing until post-last-dose of Period 5 (Part A), post-last-dose of Period 2 (Part B) or Day -7 through Day 15 (Part C).
