Highlights

Orexigen's innovative low-throughout screening model technology used in developing compositions for Contrave and Empatic was licensed from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), in 2003. Naltrexone and bupropion, which are the basic compounds for Contrave, are licensed from Dr. Lee G Dante, in 2004.

Orexigen derived revenues in 2006 from Cypress Biosciences for granting sublicense to Orexigen's licensed technology. Revenues decreased from $0.3 million in 2005 to $0.09 in 2006 primarily due to the expiry of the collaborative agreement with Eli Lilly in 2005.

Orexigen does not forecast any revenues during the period 2006-2010 as the company has no products to be launched and as well as any licensing agreement during 2006-2010. The only agreement for sublicensing technology to Cypress Biosciences (Cypress), for Obstructive Sleep Apnea treatment, was discontinued in 2006.
