Beactica Signs Three-Year Extension Agreement With Sanofi
UPPSALA, Sweden, May 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Beactica, the Swedish drug discovery company with world-leading expertise in molecular interactions, today announced that it has signed a three-year extension of its master services agreement with Sanofi. The agreement outlines the legal terms under which Beactica and Sanofi collaborate on the characterization of interactions between novel therapeutics and their target proteins.
As part of the collaboration, Beactica scientists have supported Sanofi with analysis of the interaction kinetics between insulin analogues and their two binding sites on the full-length insulin receptor. Results from the collaboration contributed towards the regulatory approval of Insulin lispro Sanofi®, a rapid-acting insulin biosimilar recently introduced on the market by Sanofi.

"It is very rewarding to see tangible evidence on how Beactica's expertise and capabilities contribute towards products that increase the quality of life for patients living with compromised health conditions."
