About Ardea Biosciences, Inc.
Ardea Biosciences, Inc., of San Diego, California, is a biotechnology
company focused on the discovery and development of small-molecule
therapeutics for the treatment of HIV, gout, cancer and inflammatory
diseases. We have five product candidates in clinical trials and others in
preclinical development and discovery. Our most advanced product candidate

of HIV, RDEA427, in a human micro-dose pharmacokinetic study and have
selected it for clinical development. RDEA594, our lead product candidate
for the treatment of gout, is being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial

which is responsible for regulation of uric acid
