There is an interesting front page article in today's WSJ about Cor Therapeutic's Integrilin and how it is winning out over ReoPro to prevent clots during coronary angioplasty. There are three approved drugs in this class of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors of platelet aggregation. ReoPro is a fragment of a monoclonal antibody, Aggrastat (Merck) is a non-peptide, and Intergrilin is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide containing at least one non-natural amino acid. It is exactly the sort of drug that would need NZYM's "peptide building blocks." If NZYM is not supplying these to Cor, one of its competitors must be.
