Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Anacor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ANAC) price target of $11.00.

Analyst, George Farmer, said, "We see an attractive entry point following share pullback and recent financing. Revised direction for topical PDE4 inhibitor AN2728 as treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) provides meaningful upside potential, in our view...In our view, positive results from two Phase II bridging studies evaluating topical AN2728 administration further support a clean safety and tolerability profile. Shifting ANAC priorities and putting AD as the lead indication for this drug makes sense to us given the high medical need."
