Cantabio Pharma has signed a drug discovery agreement with NovAliX S.A.S for the development of a new therapy for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

The agreement enables the companies to develop small molecule chaperons that are known to stabilise abeta peptide, a process that is believed to potentially treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Lupin and Novartis Healthcare have reached a co-marketing agreement to promote the latter’s Loftair inhaler, which is a treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The agreement will pave way for commercialising Loftair in India. While Novartis will continue to market the product under its brand name Sequadra, Lupin will be responsible to promote Loftair.

The new product addition is expected to help Lupin improve its market in COPD, anti-asthma and inhalation therapies in its home country, India.

Shanghai Fosun Pharma plans to raise $928m from qualified investors in order to replenish its working capital and repay existing loans, including principal and interest.
