Sale planned for ActivBiotics' products

3 March 2008

Rifalazil is the most developed of these compounds, though most of the interest for combination antibiotics has centered on New Chemical Entities.

The sale of ActivBiotics' assets, including rifalazil and the NCEs, is being conducted through an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors. The bidding for these, which may be purchased separately or in combination, is scheduled for March 14.
