Biocon joins hands with US company Amylin for diabetes drug

14 Sep 2009 Evaluate

Biocon has put the development of its diabetes drug on the fast track by teaming up with US-based biopharma player Amylin Pharmaceuticals. The companies have entered into an exclusive co-development and marketing partnership for a peptide hybrid or phybrid. This phybrid will combine properties of two peptides — essentially small proteins — into one molecule to treat diabetes. For instance, this bi-functionality could lower glucose levels as well as induce weight loss.

Against using single properties on their own, this technology is likely to give a differentiated clinical outcome by enabling the interplay of two peptides with dual benefits (like lower sugar level and weight loss).

Amylin Pharmaceuticals has been a front-runner in the field of peptide therapeutics and a leader in the diabetes market. The Kiran Mazumdar Shaw-led Biocon will in turn bring its recombinant knowledge, large-scale manufacturing and low-cost pre-clinical and clinical development to the partnership.
