Regulus Therapeutics will work with Sanofi-Aventis to develop drugs based on microRNAs, a class of small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Sanofi will pay $25 million up front and make a $10 million investment in the company in the future. All told, Regulus could receive up to $750 million in fees, R&D funding, and potential milestone payments. The partners will work on four initial micro­RNA targets, and Sanofi has the option to develop others. Isis Pharmaceuticals and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals are joint owners of Regulus.
