<o, to say Viracept was a compound found in a LLY compound library and hence
not a tribute to AGPH's drug discovery/design expertise is inaccurate.>

Let me add to this point by saying that among researchers, the ability to identify promising commercial targets for development is a rarer skill than the ability to invent them. AGPH was somewhat lucky and quite smart to walk away from the collaboration with something that really works.
