 PROFILE
Angiotech Pharmaceuticals is teaching an old drug new tricks. The company is developing products based on paclitaxel, the successful anticancer drug developed in the 1960s. Angiotech will take advantage of paclitaxel's anti-inflammatory properties to make drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis. Angiotech will also make surgical products coated with paclitaxel, which will help prevent restenosis (scarring) after vascular, ophthalmic, and potentially other kinds of surgery. The company's revenue comes from license, option, and research fees; it partners with firms like Boston Scientific, C. R. Bard, and Cook, Inc. Chairman and CEO Dr. William Hunter founded the company in 1992.
