 PROFILE
Though not a football team, Arena Pharmaceuticals likes the end-around. The company's CART technology can discover drugs without first identifying ligands, which trigger or suppress biological responses in organisms. The technology mimics the behavior of ligands to identify chemical compounds that alter biological responses, facilitating faster drug discovery; CART targets treatments for obesity, various cancers, and cardiovascular and other diseases. Subsidiary Aressa Pharmaceuticals is developing a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Arena has partnerships with such companies as Eli Lilly and Fujisawa Pharmaceuticals. An affiliate of Swiss biotech investment fund BB BIOTECH owns almost 20% of the firm.
