a, including M. tuberculosis, M. avium complex, and M. avium subspecies paratuberculosis, the potential etiological agent of Crohn's disease. SQ641 also has the potential to be effective on additional clinically relevant bacteria. Sequella licensed the compound library from Daiichi-Sankyo (November 2004). Daiichi-Sankyo identified the compound class and performed extensive research and preliminary preclinical development on several drug leads. Sequella has exclusive rights to the series of TL-1 inhibitors for the treatment of TB and all other indications for nearly every worldwide market.

As announced in September 2008, Sequella also received a 3-year, $2.3 Million NIH Phase 2 SBIR grant for development of SQ641 as an antibiotic for treatment of tuberculosis. Approval for funding the 2nd year of this grant, $795,701, was received in early September 2009.
