Reminder of the focus of interest in Brilacidin by Baseila... Its only seem to be on the anti-infections and not what BRI can handle on the colon support side, it seems. So, does that make an agreement on only suitable for an in-license agreement with no up-front cash transaction? Not sure in this case.

Good find. Brilacidin fits that mold. The only question is, can they come to agreement on fair/potential value? Also, have a feeling Merck is interested, with all that testing in Brazil, imo.
Rather see a global pharma. They are too small to get things moving expeditously. Also, a big pharma with money can run multiple trials of indication with varying dosages of the combination to improve chances for approval.

Interesting they are making announcing corporate goal to acquire or license novel, complementary antiinfectives.
I do not know Basilea well enough to outline all the drugs they may be evaluating, but it is a sure bet Brilacidin is one of them.
