Glosssary changed today. Of use for many, even without any interest in XOMA. BTW here is a gem that might have been in the old one.

<<<<
fungicidal: A pharmaceutical product that kills fungi. Amphotericin B is the only
systemic fungicidal pharmaceutical currently available. It was approved in 1957 and is
very toxic to the kidneys, with a lifetime dosage limit (because it is neither metabolized
by nor eliminated from the body).>>>>>>>>>>>

Now a post on Yahoo reminds us that Dr. Scannon says Mycoprex can be give orally. And other quotes from other XOMA sources talk about how fast it kills candida cells. But above all so far no bad side effects from BPI products.

Whoever the partner is it will probably have experience in fungal "infections" and have done clinical trials in this area and be experienced at accruing patients with problems caused by fungi. Why do I say this? Because I asked wouldn't it be great to not need a partner, assuming XOMA could finance further clinical investigation. Martin said they lacked experience in this area and would be looking for a partner that brought expertise to this area.

O.K. so besides Bristol Myers who are the major players in this area?
