I thought it was interesting that they mentioned possible marketing of SRT501 as a supplement.
If we were to elect to commercialize SRT501 as a dietary supplement, we may not be able to successfully market one or more of our NCEs as a therapy for disease, if approved, and our results may be adversely affected.
Resveratrol is currently available for sale by other companies as dietary supplements. If we were to elect to market SRT501 as a dietary supplement, which we may do if we discontinue development of SRT501 as a therapeutic drug, we believe we could do so without the need to complete lengthy and costly clinical trials. If we were to obtain regulatory approval for one of our NCEs, we anticipate that we would price the NCE at a considerably higher level than SRT501 would be priced if we were selling SRT501 as a dietary supplement. While our NCEs are chemical entities distinct from SRT501 and resveratrol, patients suffering from diseases for which our NCEs may be approved for treatment may choose to use the lower priced SRT501

dietary supplement, since it also activates SIRT1, rather than the higher priced approved NCE prescription product. As a result, if we choose to commercialize SRT501 as a dietary supplement, our ability to successfully commercialize NCE activators of SIRT1 may be adversely affected.
