Biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Amylin's diabetes care portfolio contains several injectable, non-insulin based hypoglycemic compounds that have generated compelling preclinical and clinical trial data. Amylin is poised to take advantage of the trend toward more aggressive anti-diabetic drug use and intensified screening of people at high risk for diabetes. This trend is prompted by the new guidelines from the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). Amylin's pipeline should make it a strong player in the diabetes market, or a prime acquisition target for the existing leaders in this market. Amylin and Eli Lilly have recently forged one of the most progressive biotech / pharma deals ever, focusing upon commercial opportunities for AC2993.
