Biting The Dust -- Is Lipicard's Niastin(R) Next After Pfizer's Torcetrapib?


HYDERABAD, India -- With dramatic discontinuation of Torcetrapib development by Pfizer, questions are raised about other new therapies targeting HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards.  increase including Lipicard's Niastin - combination of novel NCE's for integrated Cholesterol Management.

Niastin[R] is the latest drug being developed for Integrated Cholesterol Management through Lipicard's novel platform technology for producing high therapeutic index drugs - drugs that are safer and more efficacious.

He lauded the way Pfizer has handled the Torcetrapib situation. He also added that developments at Pfizer will not have any effect on Niastin developments as the mechanism of action of Niastin and Torcetrapib are totally different, in fact, Niastin program has been put on fast track after the withdrawal of Torcetrapib by Pfizer.

The lipid management and control is effected through a two pronged attack - first reducing LDL LDL - ["LDL: A Logic-Based Data-Language", S. Tsur et al, Proc VLDB 1986, Kyoto Japan, Aug 1986, pp.33-41].  and total cholesterol using Statins, and the other is to increase the HDL Cholesterol using Niacin niacin: see coenzyme; vitamin.

Niastin[R] is combination of novel NCE's for increasing the HDL as well as reducing the LDL and VLDL lipoproteins. When compared to Niacin and Statin combination drugs in the market, Niastin is expected to be more efficacious with less toxic side effects including muscle and liver toxicity and flushing. Niastin[R] is being produced using the same novel platform technology that produced the other high therapeutic drugs - Platrol[R] (Safe Antiplatelet drug), KeraKlear[R] (Safe and clear solution for Keratoconjuctivities), etc.
