智通财经APP获悉,德国拜耳公司(BAYRY.US)周二与美国生物技术公司Cytokinetics(CYTK.US)达成了一项合作协议,以获得在日本独家开发和商业化Cytokinetics旗下肥厚性心肌病(HCM)疗法Aficamten的权利,但须遵守Cytokinetics保留的某些开发权。

拜耳在一份声明中表示,Cytokinetics将获得5000万欧元的预付款,另外还有9000万欧元的奖金——取决于某些开发成果。Cytokinetics还将从拜耳获得最高达4.9亿欧元,具体金额取决于某些销售里程碑。

资料显示,Aficamten是一种小分子心肌肌球蛋白抑制剂(CMI),由Cytokinetics自主研发。该药物通过全面的化学优化来改善药物治疗指数和药代动力学特征,减少每个心动周期中活性肌球蛋白产力横桥的数量,从而抑制与肥厚型心肌病相关的心肌过度收缩。

尽管目前正背负着债务,同时还需应对农业市场的疲软和昂贵的诉讼费用,拜耳面临着投资者要求其加强药物开发渠道的呼声。因此,拜耳正通过规模较小的交易以加强其心血管业务,与Cytokinetics的合作正是其中一部分。

今年3月,拜耳以高达3.1亿美元的价格从Eidos Therapeutics、BridgeBio International GmbH和BridgeBio Europe B.V.获得Acoramidis在欧洲的独家商业化权益。Acoramidis是一种口服、强效、高选择性小分子转甲状腺素蛋白(TTR)稳定剂,用于治疗转甲状腺素蛋白淀粉样变性心肌病(ATTR CM)。
