(Ortho-McNeil) and Ortho-McNeil&#8217;s research affiliate, Johnson &amp; Johnson Pharmaceutical Research &amp; Development, L.L.C. (J&amp;JPRD), both members of the Johnson &amp; Johnson family of companies, as part of a license agreement, to research and develop Ferring&#8217;s inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV) for use in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.<\/p>\n<p>The license rights are subject to an up front payment, to development based milestone payments and royalty fees on net sales. Financial details were not disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>Inhibiting DP IV as an approach to diabetes management is expected to expand the way that Type II diabetes patients are treated and provide diabetic sufferers with a new generation of products. Ferring&#8217;s scientists will continue to work on the chemistry and J&amp;J researchers will drive the pharmacology and product development efforts<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ferring&#8217;s research efforts in the DP IV area have led to the discovery of new, proprietary DP IV inhibitors with a potential for offering a new approach to the management of diabetes and obesity. Ferring&#8217;s compounds are the result of a combined chemistry and pharmacology research program at Ferring&#8217;s discovery unit in Chilworth, UK,&#8221; noted Dr. Alan Harris, Vice President, R&amp;D Portfolio Planning and Technology Transfer.<\/p>\n<p>When Ferring&#8217;s scientists in Chilworth, UK began working on the enzyme DP-IV in 1992, most enzyme inhibitors on the market were unstable and inactive. However, after several years of investigation, Ferring&#8217;s researchers developed reversible inhibitors of DP-IV which were highly active and potent. Since the therapeutic area, diabetes is outside of Ferring&#8217;s remit, the company welcomed partners who had experience in this area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Working with J&amp;J gives us the additional know-how we need to take this compound from the laboratory to the patient. We believe that DP-IV inhibition is the next generation of Type II diabetes treatment &#8211; the collaboration will allow the process of drug discovery to move much quicker,&#8221; said Michel L. Pettigrew, executive vice-president of commercial operations.<\/p>\n<p>Type ll diabetes affects more than 18 million Americans and more than 150 million people world-wide. The Type II diabetes drug market world-wide has grown by 30 percent since 2000 and has an estimated value of more than $7 Billion.<\/p>\n[\/spb_boxed_content] [spb_blank_spacer height=&#8221;30px&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;] [spb_boxed_content type=&#8221;coloured&#8221; box_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; padding_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; padding_horizontal=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8221;first last&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"color: #0088ce\">About Ferring Pharmaceuticals<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Ferring is a research driven, speciality biopharmaceutical group active in global markets.
