Cefuroxime axetil (marketed by GSK as Ceftin® and by other companies as a generic product) is a semi-synthetic antibiotic, available as tablets and Based on the results of our pulsatile fluoroquinolone and metronidazole granules for oral suspension. Cefuroxime is effective for the treatment of experiments, we believe that a combination product containing various mild to moderate infections, including urinary tract infections and fluoroquinolone and metronidazole may perform in a fashion superior skin/skin structure infections. In 2002, cefuroxime had U.S. sales of to either drug alone, particularly when one or both drugs is delivered in approximately $365 million. Cefuroxime is generally prescribed for twice daily dosing, for a period of seven to ten days.

In contrast to the twice-daily treatment regimen, pulsatile cefuroxime continued to reduce bacterial colonies for two days following the initial day of treatment.
As part of our analysis in evaluating a pulsatile clarithromycin product, we We intend to develop a value-added formulation of cefuroxime or another identified an opportunity to formulate a generic equivalent of Biaxin XL, which similar drug in the cephalosporins class alone and in combination with we believe we can commercialize without infringing upon the patents held by other drugs, which we would market through third party collaborations.
Abbott Laboratories. We filed a patent application covering the production method of our generic version of this product in October 2000 and are currently in the final stages of clinical trials. In 2002, Abbott’s sales of immediate release clarithromycin were approximately $315 million and its sales of Ciprofloxacin (marketed by Bayer as Cipro®) is a synthetic broad-spectrum extended release clarithromycin were approximately $335 million. Although antibiotic, which is available as tablets and granules for oral suspension.

In 2002, ciprofloxacin had U.S. sales of approximately to accelerate development of our pulsatile drug candidates. We have licensed $1 billion. Ciprofloxacin is typically dosed twice daily, for a period of to Par Pharmaceutical the distribution and marketing rights to this product.
In the fourth quarter of 2003, we received results from certain bio-equivalency Our in vitro studies indicate that ciprofloxacin dosed once daily in a pulsatile studies of our generic clarithromycin product and in February 2004 received manner is as effective as twice daily dosing of immediate release ciprofloxacin results from a more extensive bio-equivalency study using the same without altering the overall daily dose. We found that ciprofloxacin quickly formulation of the product. The initial study of 40 subjects indicated that the killed bacteria in vitro when administered in a pulsatile fashion.

We intend to pursue a new bio-equivalency study with an adjusted formulation of the product, designed to modify the release profile of the product to more closely correspond to FLUOROQUINOLONE/METRONIDAZOLE COMBINATION Biaxin XL and meet the standard for bio-equivalence.
