Re: GCSF mimic
There may be a market in mice but there doesn't appear to be one in humans.

"Although this compound does have, we believe, incredible effects in the mouse," Rosen observed, "in the assays we've done to date we
have not seen activity in human systems. So we're going back to several drawing boards, looking at related molecules from the same series as well as discovery of additional ones that will be human-active."
For those who don't know, "Rosen is senior director of transcription research at Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc., in San Diego, Calif., and senior author of a paper in the current issue of Science, dated July 10, 1998."
I would be interested to know if LGND is planning on entering the clinic with this. |
