 PROFILE
NaPro BioTherapeutics uses yew trees to fight disease. Its lead product, paclitaxel, is an anticancer agent found in Pacific yew trees. NaPro's EIP technology can extract and purify paclitaxel from the trees' needles and limbs. The product is sold in the Asia/Pacific region as ANZATAX by partner F.H. Faulding. NaPro and Abbott Laboratories have agreed to sell paclitaxel in North America; the two companies are suing Bristol-Myers Squibb -- which has exclusive FDA approval to sell paclitaxel (brand named TAXOL) in the US -- for patent infringement. In addition to its paclitaxel operations, NaPro is developing gene therapies for such conditions as Huntington's disease.
