Hyperion gets rights to Ravicti, and perhaps more, from Ucyclyd

Privately-held US firm Hyperion Therapeutics has acquired worldwide rights to the investigational drug Ravicti (glycerol phenylbutyrate) from Ucyclyd Pharma, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medicis Pharmaceutical (NYSE: MRX). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

In connection with the accord, Hyperion also entered into an amended and restated collaboration with Ucyclyd to retain an option to acquire, in the first half of 2013 for a pre-negotiated price, worldwide rights for Buphenyl (sodium phenylbutyrate) and, subject to certain conditions, Ammonul (sodium phenylacetate and sodium benzoate) Injection.
