 PROFILE
Versicor develops pharmaceuticals to treat fungal and bacterial infections. Its lead drug candidate is V-Echinocandin, which prevents cell wall formation in "Candida" and other infectious fungi. Another potential drug is V-Glycopeptide, an antibiotic to treat bacterial infections in hospital patients. Versicor plans to market these drugs directly to hospitals. The company is also developing a new class of antibiotics with Pharmacia, as well as deformylase inhibitors, which target unique enzymes in bacteria, with Novartis. BIOCOR, a partnership between Versicor and Biosearch Italia, develops new drug candidates. Director John Cavanaugh owns more than 10% of the firm through HealthCare Ventures.
