henry,

this question is not in regards to lgnd but as to why they give three different names for the same drug in different countries. The chemical name, I know stays the same due to the rules governing the naming of chemistry, but how the hell do they come up with these consumer names? and how can I get a job as the "VP of Technical Naming of New drugs" at a pharma co?

Well, Henry, if this is one of the 3 articles that are supposed to make LGND a household name, I can only hope the other 2 will be truly spectacular.
