Horizon to buy Raptor

HORIZON Pharma will spend about US$800 million to buy Raptor Pharmaceutical and expand its portfolio of rare disease treatments, a growing area of focus for drugmakers.

The Ireland-based drug developer said yesterday that the deal will strengthen its business in the United States and provide a platform to expand in Europe and other international markets.

Raptor’s portfolio includes Procysbi, which treats a rare metabolic disorder, and Quinsair, approved for managing a chronic pulmonary infection in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.

Horizon Pharma will pay US$9 in cash for each share of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp and expects to finalize the purchase in the fourth quarter.
