Research and Development[edit]
Arena Pharmaceuticals has a robust pipeline of drug candidates targeting a range of diseases. The company's research focuses on small molecule drugs that modulate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are involved in many physiological processes.
Key Products[edit]
- Etrasimod: A selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator being developed for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
- Olorinab: A peripherally restricted, highly selective, full agonist of the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) being developed for the treatment of visceral pain associated with gastrointestinal disorders.
Acquisition[edit]
In December 2021, Arena Pharmaceuticals was acquired by Pfizer for approximately $6.7 billion. This acquisition was aimed at enhancing Pfizer's portfolio in the field of immuno-inflammatory diseases.
Collaborations and Partnerships[edit]
Arena Pharmaceuticals has entered into several collaborations and partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies to advance its drug candidates. These partnerships help in sharing resources, expertise, and risks associated with drug development.
