Nuevolution Announces Drug Discovery Alliance With Lexicon Pharmaceuticals
Date:6/10/2008

Collaboration to Apply Chemetics(R) Technology to Lexicon Targets

COPENHAGEN, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuevolution A/S today announced a strategic alliance with Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) aimed at the discovery of novel small molecule lead compounds for highly validated drug targets.

Under the terms of the alliance, Nuevolution's proprietary Chemetics(R) drug discovery technology will be applied to identify novel small molecule lead compounds against a range of drug targets proposed by Lexicon. Nuevolution will receive an upfront payment and will be eligible for milestone payments and royalties on compounds identified using its technology as candidate molecules progress through preclinical and clinical development and onto the market. At a future point in time, Nuevolution will have the option to expand its involvement in certain programs under a cost and profit sharing arrangement.

The collaboration will harness the power of Nuevolution's Chemetics(R) platform technology which enables both hit identification and hit-to-lead optimization by exploration of ultra large chemistry space through the screening of multiple fragment-based small molecule libraries of more than 100 million compounds per library.

The validated targets have been identified through Lexicon's Genome5000TM program where the company explored the physiological and behavioral function for nearly 5,000 human genes by studying the corresponding mouse genes in knockout animals. This endeavor led to the identification of more than 100 highly validated drug targets that Lexicon is using to build a unique and growing clinical pipeline.
