 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
'Markers' Prove Easy Mark

 PROFILE
British Biotech's name may be a bit general, but its business is anything but. The development-stage pharmaceutical firm focuses on metalloenzyme inhibitor research, which may be useful in finding treatments for cancer and inflammatory and infectious diseases. The firm has stopped developing its most advanced product, marimastat, after the anti-cancer drug it worked on with Schering-Plough failed clinical trials for small-cell lung cancer. British Biotech has an agreement with Swiss-based biotechnology company Serono to develop and market several new drugs, including possible treatments for multiple sclerosis and chronic inflammatory diseases.
