Anesta Corp.
 PROFILE
Anesta wants you to suck on this -- its oral transmucosal drug delivery systems (OTS) allow drugs to be quickly and painlessly absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucous membrane. A subsidiary of Cephalon, the company hopes to find its moneymaker in Actiq, which has been approved by the FDA to treat cancer pain. Abbott Laboratories manufactures Actiq in the US, where it's sold by the company's own sales force; Elan Pharma International and Swedish Orphan do so in most of Europe. The company is also developing other OTS products for smoking cessation, acute pain, motion sickness, and nausea.
