Wear a chapter of pharmaceutical history with this ViroPharma quarter zip pullover. Founded in 1994, ViroPharma focused on medicines for serious diseases and specialist care, bringing together antiviral research, licensed products, and strategic industry relationships. The company licensed pleconaril, maribavir, and Vancocin, merged with Lev Pharmaceuticals in 2008, and was acquired by Shire in a deal finalized in January 2014. For biotech-history enthusiasts, this piece recalls the evolution of a specialist-focused company and the research and corporate milestones that distinguished its story.
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.
