![]() Furiex' product pipeline includes: Priligy® (dapoxetine) is a drug specifically developed for the on-demand treatment of premature ejaculation (PE); Nesina® (alogliptin) is a member of a new class of drugs for the oral treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D); Nesina® (alogliptin) in combination with Actos® (pioglitazone HCl), a single tablet for the treatment of type 2 diabetes; Nesina®, in combination with Metformin, used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes; Fluoroquinolone, used for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections, such as abscesses that occur deep in the skin layers and respiratory infections; Mu Delta Receptor Agonist and Delta Opioid Receptor Antagonist, used for the treatment of diarrheal predominant irritable bowel syndrome (d-IBS); and PPD 10558 for the treatment of dyslipidemia. DPP4 inhibitors, taken orally, block the degradation of GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1), and help to maintain the concentration of GLP-1 in blood for a longer period of time. This is important because GLP-1 stimulates pancreatic beta cells to increase the secretion of insulin, and GLP-1 has the potential to improve beta cell function itself. Therefore, DPP4 inhibitors may represent a new generation of oral agents for diabetes treatment. See this additional information about Takeda's recent DPP4 news. Another catalyst which we have tracked from an SEC filing which took place in September of 2010 indicates that the firm has pending Phase II trial results for JNJ32729463 as an indication for Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia.
