Topiramate (brand name Topamax) is an anticonvulsant (antiepilepsy) drug. It was most recently approved for weight loss by the FDA in combination with phentermine. It has been used off-label for this purpose before FDA approval was obtained. It was originally produced by Ortho-McNeil Neurologics and Noramco, Inc., both divisions of the Johnson & Johnson Corporation. It was also recently approved in a combination medication used for weight loss in late 2012. This medication was discovered in 1979 by Bruce E. Maryanoff and Joseph F. Gardocki during their research work at McNeil Pharmaceutical. Topiramate was first approved by the US FDA in 1996. Generic versions are available in Canada and these were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2006. Mylan Pharmaceuticals was recently granted final approval for generic topiramate 25, 100, and 200 mg tablets and sprinkle capsules by the FDA for sale in the United States. 50 mg tablets were granted tentative approval. The last patent for topiramate in the U.S. was for pediatric use; this patent expired on February 28, 2009.

The drug, Alzumab, is the second biologic — a medicine created through a biological process and not through a chemical process — launched by the company, and is expected to serve about 1 percent to 2 percent of India’s population estimated to suffer from the ailment.
Itolizumab (INN, trade name Alzumab) is a ‘first in class’ humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody developed by Biocon. It selectively targets CD6, a pan T cell marker involved in co-stimulation, adhesion and maturation of T cells. Itolizumab, by binding to CD6, down regulates T cell activation, causes reduction in synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and possibly plays an important role by reducing T cell infiltration at sites of inflammation. A double blind, placebo controlled, phase III treat –Plaq study of itolizumab successfully met the pre-specified primary end-point of significant improvement in PASI-75 (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score after 12 weeks of treatment in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis compared to placebo.[2] Biocon has received marketing authorization for the drug from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI).
Ixchelsis, a start-up company that has come out of Pfizer’s former R D site at Sandwich, UK, is progressing a treatment for premature ejaculation boosted by the backing of Eli Lilly.
Lilly, through its venture fund set up with TVM Capital Life Science, has
invested in Ixchelsis, made up of former Pfizer scientists and headed by Gary
Muirhead. The company is based on an oxytocin receptor antagonist called IX-01
originally discovered at Sandwich which the investors say “has the potential to
be the best-in-class pharmacological approach for the treatment of
PE”.
Ixchelsis, which is based at the Sandwich site, now called Discovery
Park, will collaborate with the autonomous early phase virtual drug discovery
arm of Lilly, known as Chorus. Dr Muirhead told PharmaTimes that the
TVM model will fund through to the agreed exit point, which is completion of
proof-of-concept and this requires about $14 million.
