title: Talniflumate (Genaera).
abstract: Talniflumate, an anti-inflammatory molecule that was originally developed by Laboratorios Bago, is currently being developed by Genaera as a mucoregulator for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. Phase I trials with talniflumate had been completed by August 2001, and phase II trials were underway in Ireland for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.
