Global Hunter Securities initiates coverage on Amylin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMLN) with a Accumulate. PT $14.00.
Global analyst said, "MLN is a leader in the development of novel drugs for diabetes and metabolic disorders. The company’s main value driver is Bydureon, for type II diabetes. AMLN is awaiting a January 28, 2012 PDUFA date for the drug; if approved, we expect a 1Q12 launch. AMLN also has two marketed products: Byetta, for type II diabetes, and Symlin, for both type I and type II diabetes. Bydureon and Byetta are novel formulations of exenatide, an analog of naturally occurring glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). We expect Bydureon to compare favorably to alternative GLP-1 therapies. Following the expected launch of Bydureon, we estimate that the combined US annual sales of exenatide-based products could approach $1.7B in 2018. Longer-term drivers for AMLN shares include a formulation of exenatide intended for monthly dosing, and metreleptin, for lipodystrophy."

This helps solve a large problem when treating disease with durgs, which is consistently taking the correct amount on a regular basis. A once a week dose goes a long way to solve the problem.
