Genentech says FDA okays heart attack drug
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 2 (Reuters) - Biotechnology company Genentech Inc. (NYSE:DNA - news) on Friday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its product called TNKase, also known as Tenecteplase, for use in treating heart attack victims.

TNKase is a single-bolus thrombolytic agent that helps open clogged arteries that have led to a heart attack, Genentech said, adding that it can be administered in just over five seconds, more quickly than any other drug of its kind.

Genentech shares closed up 2-1/4 at $110 on the New York Stock Exchange. The company announced the FDA approval after the market closed.
