I think it this is pretty much business as usual. The chemical departments of the pharmas have huge libraries of compounds wich might be useful as medicaments. The difficult part is then to figure out wich of these compounds to use for what indication. When Agouron searched a PI inhibitor they then screened the Eli Lilly library and since they found a suitable candidate it was of course a compound that was invented by Eli Lillys chemists. It was then just luck for Agouron that Eli Lilly later lost interest in the collaboration.
