Agouron didn't invent Viracept. I just read this from a industry publication. The drug came out of Lilly's compound library. You could argue: so what? I am just commenting that this may be an indication how strong they are at the structural based design. I am not familar with the development of the drug. But if it really came out of Lilly library, I would presume structual based design played a minor role. Then I would start to doubt if they are as good as people have assumed on rational drug design. This may concern me about their pipeline. However, the company seems to have superb business and management sense.
