LIlly has announced they are licensing the compound PSN010 from OSI Pharmaceutical’s subsidiary Prosidion for an upfront payment of $25 million and an additional $360 million in development milestones.

PharmaLive: Lilly and OSI Pharmaceuticals Announce Licensing Agreement :

This is an early stage compound (phase I) for diabetes type 2 and it activates oral glucokinase.

Again, I think it is interesting to see some companies going the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) route while others are making deals for compounds. I’ve stated before I personally think the deal making is the better approach since this doesn’t kill the innovations of the small company. I look at mergers as killing the goose to get the golden eggs.
