Without any doubt this is the intent. But some isomers may have advantages over the parent compound. Just adding a few carbons, a F, a cl or other elements can also alter the medications profile. This is what sepr is doing. You know what--they will succeed.
This is not really new stuff..."ethical" pharm cos have been doing this for a long time. They will take an effective compound and play around with it until they can come up with a form they can patent and market.
As for their profile..nothinh is written in stone. If they feel they can play around with Vancomycin..Methacillin etc and get a new hit on VRS they will.

Just my thoughts.
