nigel,

Don't have the definitive answer, but from hearing Dr. Santi talk at the CIBC conference, I'd say in general their strategy is to design their compounds to avoid stepping on other people's patents. There's been plenty of work on polyketides by other companies -- mostly pharmas -- so that is an issue. In this case, if BMS & Pharmacia synthesize it in inferior ways, perhaps the Sloan-Kettering technology could be licensed to them and others.

>>time for a thread?<<

Why not? I'm getting more casual about thread creation now that I've done it few times.
