Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 9, 2009, Cornerstone BioPharma, Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cornerstone Therapeutics, Inc. ("Cornerstone"), completed the previously announced acquisition from Oscient Pharmaceuticals Corporation ("Oscient") of the commercial rights to the antibiotic Factive® (gemifloxacin mesylate) in North America and certain countries in Europe, certain inventory and related assets. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts had approved the transaction on September 4, 2009.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, Oscient assigned to the Company the License and Option Agreement with LG Life Sciences, Ltd. related to Factive (as amended, the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides the Company with rights to commercialize gemifloxacin in North America, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Malta, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

The term of the Agreement will expire upon the termination or expiration in all of the countries covered by the license of the Company’s obligation to pay royalties on sales of Factive. The Company has the unilateral right at any time with 30 days’ prior notice to abandon its rights and obligations with respect to any country covered by the Agreement, or to terminate the Agreement in its entirety. In addition, either party may terminate the Agreement if the other party challenges the validity and/or enforceability of any of the party’s patent rights granted to the other party under the Agreement. The Agreement also provides certain termination rights to a party in connection with a material breach of the Agreement by the other party.

Under the terms of the Agreement, LG Life Sciences has agreed to supply and the Company is obligated to purchase from LG Life Sciences all of the Company’s anticipated commercial requirements for the Factive active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API"). LG Life Sciences currently supplies the Factive API from its manufacturing facility in South Korea.

Under the Agreement, the Company is responsible, at its expense and through consultation with LG Life Sciences, for the clinical and commercial development of gemifloxacin in the countries covered by the license, including the conduct of clinical trials, the filing of drug approval applications with applicable regulatory authorities in the Company’s territory and the marketing, distribution and sale of gemifloxacin in the Company’s territory.

The Company is obligated to pay a royalty on sales of Factive in North America and the territories covered by the license in Europe. These royalty obligations expire with respect to each country covered by the Agreement on the later of (i) the expiration of the patents covering Factive in such country or (ii) the expiration of data exclusivity in Mexico, Canada or the European Union respectively, or 2014 in the U.S.

News for OSCIQ News -- Lupin Expands Branded Play --Announces Acquisition of US Rights to ANTARA

News for 'OSCIQ' - (Lupin Expands Branded Play --Announces Acquisition of US Rights to ANTARA)

MUMBAI, India, Sept 29, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Pharmaceutical Major, Lupin Ltd. announced today the acquisition of US rights
for Antara(R) (Fenofibrate Capsules 43 mg and 130 mg). Lupin acquired the
product from Oscient Pharmaceuticals on September 25, 2009, under the procedures
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Antara recorded net sales of US $ 70 million for
2008 (Source: IMS Dec 2008). Lupin paid $ 38.61 million for the product and
related assets inclusive of inventory.

Lupin had previously filed an ANDA for Fenofibrate Capsules 43 mg and 130 mg. On
September 21, 2009, prior to the acquisition of Antara(R), Lupin sold its ANDA
to Dr. Reddy's Laboratories. Lupin also settled and resolved the pending
litigation regarding the ANDA product.

Prior to the acquisition, Antara(R) was marketed by Oscient Pharmaceuticals.
Antara(R) has a strong brand equity with primary care physicians treating
patients for high LDL-C, Total-C, triglycerides, Apo-B and low HDL-C. The
Fenofibrate products market is $ 1.9 Billion for the last 12 months. Antara(R)
has 4.5% share of this market and grew 20 % in revenue this past year. Antara(R)
is prescribed for adjunct treatment of hypercholesterolemia (high blood
cholesterol) and hyper-triglyceridemia (high triglycerides) in combination with
diet.

The Antara acquisition enables Lupin to enter the primary care market with a
three product portfolio. Lupin's Suprax Tabs and Allernaze have strong potential
in primary care. Lupin will be more than doubling its sales force size in the
next 12 months to reach the key targets for the three products.

"We are very excited with our 2nd NDA acquisition within a span of 4 months. The
Antara(R) acquisition demonstrates Lupin's success in, and commitment to
building its brand franchise and equity in the US. It underlines Lupin's
differentiated strategy for the US market. Antara(R) is a step forward that will
help us strengthen and grow our brand business. Since Antara(R) is a previously
approved, commercial product, our sales and marketing efforts will commence
immediately and we are optimistic of it contributing positively to our topline
and bottomline in the coming quarters and years," said Vinita Gupta, Group
President & CEO, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc

BLACK CANDLESTICK


http://www.candlesticker.com/Cs05.asp

Type: Reversal/Continuation
Relevance: Indecision
Prior Trend: N/A
Reliability: Low
Confirmation: N/A
No. of Sticks: 1

http://www.candlesticker.com/Cs05.asp

Definition:

The Black Candlestick represents normal selling pressure.

Recognition Criteria:

1. The real body of this pattern is black with normal length.
2. The upper and lower shadows are smaller than the length of the real body.
Explanation:

Selling pressure is indicated by a Black Candlestick. The pattern shows that prices declined from open to close during the day and sellers were in control throughout this process.

Important Factors:

Like most other single candlestick patterns the Black Candlestick has low reliability. It reflects only one day's trading and can be interpreted both as a continuation and a reversal pattern. The pattern must be used with other candlesticks for a better or healthier confirmation of a trend.
