24 Developing new pharmaceuticals Lundbecks long-term goal is to become the worlds leader in the field of psychiatry and neurology. We believe that it is strategically important to maintain an extensive and varied portfolio of development projects. Lundbeck is one of the pharmaceutical companies that plough back the highest proportion of revenue to research and development. D eveloping new drugs is a complex process, and drugs developed to treat diseases related to the central nervous system have a particularly small probability of proceeding to marketing approval. Accordingly, the portfolio of drug candidates is subject to tough requirements, including the number of projects, selected target areas and the innovative reach of each individual project. For more than 40 years, Lundbeck has focused on the development of drugs to treat diseases of the central nervous system ­ especially psychiatric disorders. During this period, Lundbeck has built core knowhow in understanding these diseases, and Lundbeck was among the first to develop and launch drugs for depression and schizophrenia that helped renew the treatment process. company aims to bring a new drug to market every three to five years. During the last five years Lundbeck has launched four new pharmaceuticals in the market. Building on our marketed pharmaceuticals Lundbeck aims to consistently enhance and develop knowledge about its existing drugs to extend the marketing approval to comprise new indications that may benefit a number of patients. Cipralex® Since Cipralex® was first approved for the treatment of depression, considerable progress has been made in terms of understanding why Cipralex® shows consistently more positive results than its predecessor Cipramil®. While it was orginally believed that R-citalopram, which is found in Cipramil®, had no pharmacological effect, we have come to realise that this is not the case. Cipralex® not only binds to the primary high-affinity site on the serotonin transport but also to a secondary, allosteric low-affinity site, stabilising and prolonging Cipralexs own binding to the primary site. This effect is weakened by R-citalopram in Cipramil® and may therefore explain the more favorable results obtained with Cipralex® in clinical and pre-clinical trials involving both pharmaceuticals. Further studies of the serotonin transport have clearly identified the amino acid sequence that is vital to this binding. Only Cipralex® can exploit the full effect of this well-defined physical area of the serotonin transport. This new knowledge has been adopted in our current research efforts with a view to developing the next-generation antidepressants. Expanded product portfolio Since the late 1990s, Lundbeck has expanded its portfolio of drug candidates with projects involving treatment of neurological disorders. Within the past three years, Lundbeck has marketed two drugs in the field of neurology: Ebixa® for the treatment of Alzheimers disease and Azilect® for the treatment of Parkinsons disease. Other innovative projects in the companys research department are progressing. However, Lundbeck had to discontinue a project in Parkinsons disease ­ CEP-1347. Many pharmaceutical companies today focus on developing drugs to treat neurological disorders, so it is by no means unlikely that we will see significant developments in terms of treatment options in this field over the next decades. Lundbeck intends to contribute to this development by focusing on the many unmet needs patients currently face with the existing treatment options. Lundbeck is confident that focus on the companys CNS skills is essential for developing new drugs that may improve the future treatment of patients suffering from psychiatric and neurological disorders.
