Peter,

Is a drug discovery like R207910 mainly meaningful on humanitarian grounds, or does it have some potential to be a meaningful contributor to profits at JNJ?

How would one begin to estimate its profit potential? Rifampin has been a standard for so long and is so cheap (generic). I have no idea what total worldwide sales are, or even where to obtain such data. R207910, I assume, would be free of generic competition for a significant period of time, but I suppose that drugs that tend to treat diseases of the poor tend not to be big money makers. Is such a perception correct?

TIA,
Sam
