I noticed Agouron updated their home page, amplifying arthritis in AG3340 page, also noting which drugs they retain all commercial rights to.

"In addition to their role in the growth and metastasis of solid tumors, MMPs
display high levels of enzymatic activity in such degenerative diseases as
rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Certain members of the MMP family are
associated most closely with these disease states and, Agouron believes, offer
targets for orally active drugs with potential for minimal toxicity. If successfully
developed, Agouron believes such selective inhibitors of certain MMPs have
the potential to interrupt the progression of arthritic disease itself rather than just
to treat the symptoms.

Agouron retains all commercial rights in AG3340."

I plan on celebrating the New Year by going over to AGPH and crying in the parking lot. Everyone be careful tonight.
