Biochemicals supplier Cayman Chemical is joining with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Fannin Innovation Studio to form ACF Pharmaceuticals, a drug company that will pursue small-molecule inhibitors for inflammation-induced cancers such as melanoma and colon cancer.

MD Anderson will evaluate them, and Fannin, a Houston-based life science commercialization firm, will provide funding and management.
