Q4 FY earnings are out. No surprises, IMO.

No guidance, nothing to indicate that they're not wandering around bumping off of mistakes and praying for successes. Too many projects. Lots of funding now rolling through the labs, but not enough for the net thrown.
We need Goddard to eliminate some programs and to perhaps even return some rights to partners. Some guidance regarding additional patent licenses and when they might be expected would be nice too. Finally, we either need an update on the following project or word that it has been dropped. Damn expensive.......

Epolones: novel sesquiterpene-tropolones from fungus OS-F69284 that
induce erythropoietin in human cells.

In the course of our screening for small molecule modulators of erythropoietin gene expression, two novel sesquiterpene
tropolones and pycnidone were isolated from a culture of OS-F69284 (ATCC 74390). Their structures were elucidated by
extensive 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic studies and chemical reactions. These compounds induced erythropoietin gene
expression 5-fold at a concentration of 1-1.6 microM.

Destruxin-A4 chlorohydrin, a novel destruxin from fungus OS-F68576:
isolation, structure determination, and biological activity as an inducer of
erythropoietin.

In the course of screening for small-molecule modulators of erythropoietin gene expression, five destruxins were isolated from
the fungal culture of OS-F68576. The structures were elucidated by extensive 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by
hydrolytic modification. One compound (destruxin-A4 chlorohydrin, 1) is a novel destruxin. All these compounds induced
erythropoietin gene expression 5-fold at concentration of 0.2-2 microM. |
