Lexipafant is a platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist that was in early clinical development at DevCo for the oral treatment of dementia and motor function disorders in HIV patients, intravenous treatment of acute pancreatitis, as well as for the prevention of certain serious renal and neurological complications experienced by patients undergoing cardiac surgery, including stroke. However, no recent developments of the drug candidate have been reported by the company.
Lexipafant was also being studied at British Biotech (now Vernalis) for the intravenous treatment of pancreatitis, but development for this indication was discontinued. In 2002, DevCo obtained from British Biotech exclusive rights to develop, manufacture and sell lexipafant for the treatment of human disease, excluding the fields of oncology and ophthalmology.

Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) are ligands known to chelate with Cu and other transition metals to form insoluble complexes. Wastewater treatment protocols have utilized DTCs to remove trace (ppb) metals from waste streams. We have extended the applicability of DTCs to a protocol that readily enables control of the residual Cu in isolated material in a quick and cost-effective manner. Formation of the chelate complex typically results in purging of Cu and a variety of other metals in an array of reaction media to ≤10 ppm. Furthermore, the simplicity of the method makes it very attractive for large-scale applications late in a synthetic sequence because of the low toxicity and efficient removal of the metal complex by filtration.
