Sun Pharma on Friday said it has completed buyback of shares worth Rs 675 crore to return surplus funds to its shareholders.
"The company on October 18 completed buyback of 75 lakhs fully paid-up shares of the face value of Rs 1 each (representing about 0.31 per cent of the total outstanding pre-buyback shares of the company) at a price of Rs 900 per share for an aggregate amount of Rs 675 crore," Sun Pharma said in a BSE filing.
In June this year, the company had announced its decision to buy back shares.
"The buyback is being undertaken by the company to return surplus funds to the equity shareholders, enhancing the overall returns to the shareholders," the company had earlier said.

If aliens were to examine a human, they would think we were just slavish organisms designed to feed microbes and carry them around. Our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than cells, and there are an estimated 3.3 million genes in the total bacteria DNA, which is 160 times the number of human genes. Our intestine hosts about one kilogram of bacteria which help to digest and metabolise food, produce vitamins and protect us from infections.

The above is textbook knowledge, but loads of recent studies are uncovering new and unsuspected roles for these little companions. There is evidence that gut bacteria can protect or predispose us to pathologies ranging from inflammation to diabetes and obesity. And, as far-fetching as it sounds, a remarkable amount data shows that they can even modify our mood and behaviour.
Microbes are hot on the scientific agenda. In May, the US government launched a National Microbiome Initiative with an overall budget of half a billion dollars, while the EU is funding more than 300 projects related to the microbiome.
Yolanda Sanz, a researcher at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA) of the Spanish National Research Council in Valencia, Spain, coordinates MyNewGut, the largest EU consortium in the field with 30 partners in 15 Countries. We asked Sanz about the perspectives of research and the intriguing connections between the microbiome and the brain.

Consumers don’t always read the risk information on branded drug websites--even though they say they do, according to new eye-tracking research from the University of Tennessee. Risk disclosures are a hot-button issue in pharma marketing, with some critics accusing brands of downplaying the risks and marketers contending that they follow the rules laid out by the FDA.
For the eye-tracking study, two advertising professors used the technique on 29 seasonal allergy sufferers to determine where and how long they looked at a branded drug website, then followed up with interviews about how much the people read and what they remembered. The participants were told the study was looking at how people look for health information online and that the website was for a new prescription allergy drug.

The key finding? Even though 80% of the participants said they read half or more of the website information, they actually read much less than that and had limited recall of the drug’s risks. Further, the study found consumers focused on the drug’s benefit and generally ignored the risks.
That figure wouldn't necessarily hold true for other drugs, though. Mariea Hoy, who fielded the research along with former UT faculty member Abbey Levenshus, said perceived familiarity in the case of the seasonal allergy drug may have played a role in participants ignoring risks they thought they already knew about or didn’t believe would affect them.
“There are so many factors that may be influencing a person when looking at the drug website. Our study found that for individuals who perceived themselves to be familiar with the condition and the drugs that treated it, and subsequently thought ‘it's just an allergy drug,’ they were only looking for benefits and subsequently ignored the risk information,” Hoy said in an email interview with FiercePharma.

Novartis will partner with Cerulean Pharma to develop nanoparticle-drug conjugates (NDCs) that combine Cerulean’s proprietary Dynamic Tumor Targeting™ technology with Novartis’ proprietary compounds, to be directed at up to five undisclosed cancer targets.
Cerulean said today it will generate $5 million upfront through the companies’ collaboration, plus funding for five full-time equivalent employees. Cerulean may potentially make millions more in payments tied to achieving preclinical, clinical, regulatory, and sales milestones for each target. Following regulatory approvals, Cerulean could also earn single-digit to low double-digit tiered royalties on net sales for each NDC product.
Under the collaboration, Cerulean will create NDC candidates using its Dynamic Tumor Targeting platform, with Novartis agreeing to oversee further development and commercialization of those products.

“This collaboration is further validation of our powerful technology platform, and we are excited that Novartis is including NDCs in its drug discovery and development efforts,” Cerulean president and CEO Christopher D.T. Guiffre said in a statement.
Separately, Cerulean said that a longtime shareholder, the institutional investor Aspire Capital Fund, has agreed to purchase $20 million of the company’s common stock— 800,000 shares at $1.25 per share. Cerulean also has the right to sell up to the remaining $19 million of its common stock to Aspire over 24 months, at prices based on a formula linked to current market prices at the time of each sale.
“This agreement with Aspire provides us access to capital to support our ongoing clinical efforts,” Giuffre noted. “We can use this facility to opportunistically strengthen our balance sheet without unnecessary dilution as we advance our CRLX101 and CRLX301 programs.”
