Synthon Reaches Pact With GlaxoSmithKline

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -(Dow Jones)- Synthon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and GlaxoSmithKline PLC (NYSE:GSK - News) settled patent litigation related to Synthon's Pexeva which competes with GSK's antidepressant Paxil.

GlaxoSmithKline previously filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina alleging that Synthon infringed three of GSK's patents, Synthon said in a press release Thursday.

The settlement agreement tosses out all three patent infringement claims, which includes a royalty payable to GlaxoSmithKline.

Synthon will be able to immediately market its Pexeva product and anticipates a product launch in the first half of 2004.

A GlaxoSmithKline spokeswoman said Pexeva's drug is not a generic substitute for Paxil. She declined to disclose settlement terms.
