Rick, it sounds like it is the metabolite, but without knowing the structure of GLPG0634 or the structure of the metabolite, hard for me to tell. It could be a metabolite of the metabolite.

I have not done any GLPG patent sleuthing to know any more.

"Are they basically saying that the metabolite is the product?"

Not quite. They're saying that GLPG 0634 is two, two, two drugs in one. And that that is a good thing. Because . . . I lose the thread at that point.

If the tox species make the same metabolite, and there is plenty of coverage, they probably don't have to run tox on the metabolite itself.
