Wedbush assumes coverage on Anadys Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ANDS) with a Outperform. PT lowered from $3 to $2.

Wedbush analyst says, "The company’s core asset, ANA598 (Setrobuvir) is a wellcharacterized drug candidate directed to the high-profile HCV market, and
one of few unpartnered assets nearly ready for Phase IIb DAA combination studies. However, as a non-nucleotide (non-nuke), ANA598 belongs to a somewhat less-favored class of drug candidates, and may have difficulty attracting partnership interest, in our view. That said, we believe ANDS presents a compelling argument why ANA598 may prove to be a particularly effective HCV drug."
