Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[Mr Stockboy]

I think this discussion is necessary, but I disagree with the suggestion "EPA is the active moiety" and could not be affected negatively or positively by turning it into an ethyl ester. Amarin had clear reasons for turning it into an ethyl ester and every patent going back to the beginning, states E-EPA.

IHUB friends: Any change in the chemical chain is the basis for the patent Amarin claimed. Amarin claimed E-EPA, not EPA. For some patented reason, Amarin determined adding the Ester Ethyl was necessary, and every since has cited it in every claim section of patents. The fact is turning EPA into E-EPA is not a mote "moiety" point. There are efficacy issues, safety issues, a lot of issues!!!!

In court, Amarin is there to defend E-EPA.
