1) SWEDISH BIOPHARMA INDUSTRY AT LARGE - WHAT NEXT?
The Swedish biopharma industry has more than doubled in the last six years, growing from 25 companies in 1996 to the current 52. Next to the medical device industry the biopharma industry is the largest biotech industry segment in Sweden. The predominant disease groups for R&D in Swedish biopharma are: Inflammation / autoimmune, metabolic, cancer, infectious, and neurological diseases. However, the pipeline of the industry is in its infancy.

2) THE NEXT GENERATION ANTIFUNGALS : TRIAZOLES VS PEPTIDES
- A New Report from BioSeeker Group
According to the Antifungal Work Group at NIH there is a "critical need for the development of antifungal agents". There will be tight competition for market shares when PfizerÕs patent on fluconazole (the active ingredient in Diflucan(TM)) expires in 2004. Both Bristol-Myers Squibb and Schering-Plough will try to compete for market shares. In this Highlight Report, we present new data on activites in the field of triazole and peptide antifungals. Topics considered in this report are :
- Research (spectrums, activities, side-effects, resistance and drug interactions)
- Patents
- Clinical trials (indications, status and activities)
- Partnerships
- Expected market launches and sales

6) COMING REPORTS
- Molecular Approaches Towards New HCV Therapy
Treatment of HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) is a market with unmet medical needs, with relatively young people infected and a high risk for chronic disease. The coming decade will see exciting developments in HCV therapy thanks to breakthroughs in overcoming a major barrier to development: the lack of dedicated models suitable for validating candidate compounds in a low-cost, highthroughput format. BioSeeker Group has identified at least 115 companies with interest in various stages in the field of HCV therapy. Out of these 100, approximately 10 of the 'big pharma' are represented. Our coming report "Molecular Approaches Towards New HCV Therapy" analyses the field of new HCV therapeutics and assess possible outcomes for drugs and companies in this sector.

- Winning the Osteoporosis Therapy Race
Osteoporosis, deterioration of bone tissue and an increased risk of fractures, is considered by the World Health Organization to be second only to cardiovascular disease as a leading healthcare problem. According to other studies, sales of osteoporosis drugs in these markets totaled $3.4 billion in 2000, and are expected to reach $6.5 billion by 2005. A new class of osteoporosis therapies, designed to build bone mass in contrast to currently available anti-osteoporosis medicines are presently under study. These anabolic therapies consist of parathyroid hormone (FortÎoª and ALX-11) or fluoride to stimulate bone formation, but their safety and efficacy remain to be established. The first of these drugs to reach the market will probably be FortÎoª, known generically as teriparatide (recombinant parathyroid hormone).
