	ALZA: A DRUGMAKER HEADING FOR A 'MAJOR BREAKOUT'?
		Alza developed a line of delivery vehicles, including skin patches, tiny pumps inside tablets, and other controlled-release systems, that made drugs work better by maintaining an ideal dosage for a longer period of time.
		When Mario arrived, Alza was still reeling from the wild ride it took on the back of the short-lived explosion in nicotine patches, one of which Alza developed for Marion Merrell Dow.
		Alza's market capitalization zoomed as high as $4 billion at the beginning of that fad, then its stock collapsed in 1992, when follow-on orders fell off and proposed Clinton health-care reforms frightened many companies into pulling back on "luxury" projects such as improved drug delivery.

	TheStreet.com: Attention Class, Alza Has Just the Medicine for You
		Alza turned a corner last month, when it won preliminary Food and Drug Administration approval to sell Concerta, a timed-release version of a generic standby for treating hyperactivity in children and adolescents.
		Alza's Concerta is designed to give a continuous dose of the drug for 12 hours, allowing parents to control the distribution by giving one dose in the morning.
		Alza hopes to get Concerta on the market before the beginning of the September school year, which is likely to be more than a year before other competing products from Celgene (CELG:Nasdaq - news), Eli Lilly (LLY:NYSE - news) and Cephalon (CEPH:Nasdaq - news) could reach the market.

	Alza Recovers After Abbott Deal Unravels (Alza Corp. (AZA),Abbott Laboratories (ABT)) \| SmartMoney.com
		ALZA (AZA) stock surged 17.3% after its deal with Abbott Laboratories (ABT) collapsed in the wake of declines in Abbott's stock price and a punishing settlement with the Food and Drug Administration.
		Thursday, after the announcement, Alza felt the most punishment, sinking $3.31 to $36.44 in regular trading and all the way down to $27.75 at the end of after-hours trading.
		Louis Webb, Fahnestock and Co. vice president of research, says Alza is worth $40 a share today, and expects it to hit $60 by the end of 2001.

	Cygnus v. Alza
		ALZA has shown a willingness to enforce its patent rights, both in past litigation concerning other patents and in its statements to industry, Cygnus, Anaquest and other potential allies and distributors concerning the '580 patent.
		ALZA has not expressly threatened to sue Cygnus, however, and its various statements in the record concerning the '580 patent were either made in the setting of licensing discussions with Cygnus or Anaquest or in response to a third party query (the question at the Hambrecht and Quist Healthcare Conference).
		To hold that ALZA's conduct between January of 1989 and May of 1993 constituted "objective circumstances" sufficient to support a reasonable apprehension of suit would be to set at an unacceptably low level the threshold that must be crossed before a district court may exercise declaratory judgment jurisdiction in a patent case.

		In this case, the patent holder Alza argued that back in 1995, there was no suggestion to try (or likelihood of success of) using controlled release pills because nobody thought that the formulation could be absorbed in the colon.
		Alza presented some references that suggested that controlled-release pills might not work, but those did not specifically discuss absorption of the type of molecule contained in Ditropan.

	REP. DAN GLICKMAN (D-KS)
		This move, hailed by financial analysts as "shrewd," would allow Alza to capture more revenue and earnings from proprietary drug formulation by becoming more independent from other pharmaceutical manufacturers who had financed their development costs.
		Alza also announced a special dividend to Alza shareholders in the form of units--each unit consists of one share of common stock in Therapeutic Discovery Corp. and one warrant to purchase one-eighth of one share of Alza common stock at $65.
		But since Alza has no manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico, passage of this bill could be construed as a benefit--it might give them a competitive advantage over other pharmaceutical manufacturers (from whom they have now gained financing-independence with the Therapeutic Discovery spin-off deal).
