Seven drug companies are making “deprioritized” compounds available to British researchers through a new agreement with the U.K.’s Medical Research Council. AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen, Eli Lilly & Co., Pfizer, Takeda, and UCB will each provide MRC with a number of molecules they are no longer developing. Academic scientists then can apply for MRC funding to use them in research projects. The program builds on an earlier compound-sharing agreement between MRC and AstraZeneca.
