Bring a distinctive piece of pharmaceutical history to your golf routine with this ViroPharma golf towel. Its design celebrates a company founded in 1994 that focused on medicines for serious diseases and specialist care. ViroPharma's story includes antiviral research, licenses for pleconaril and maribavir, a Vancocin license, and its 2008 merger with Lev Pharmaceuticals. Later acquired by Shire, the company remains an intriguing subject for collectors following the people, partnerships, and milestones that shaped biotechnology business history.
Founded in 1994, ViroPharma Incorporated was a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and selling medicines for serious diseases treated by specialist physicians and in hospitals. Its research addressed viruses and human disease, including cytomegalovirus and hepatitis C. The company was founded by Claude H. Nash, Mark A. McKinlay, Marc S. Collett, Johanna A. Griffin, and Guy D. Diana. In 1995 it licensed the antiviral candidate pleconaril from Sanofi. It licensed maribavir from GlaxoSmithKline in 2003 and licensed Vancocin from Eli Lilly in 2004. ViroPharma merged with Lev Pharmaceuticals in 2008. Its research included antiviral candidates and products for specialist and hospital use; pleconaril did not receive FDA approval for the common cold, and its later Phase III maribavir study did not meet its goal. ViroPharma was included in the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index and the S&P 600 and maintained strategic relationships with GlaxoSmithKline, Schering-Plough, and Sanofi-Aventis. Shire acquired the company in a transaction valued at about $4.2 billion, finalized in January 2014; the article also dates the acquisition to November 2014.
