BioChem Therapeutic

BioChem Therapeutic was the therapeutics division of Canada-based BioChem Pharma focused on antiviral and anticancer drug discovery and development. The company operated from Laval, Quebec and pursued small-molecule programs spanning HIV, hepatitis C, cytomegalovirus, multidrug resistance in oncology, and radiation sensitization. Historical reports indicate collaborations with companies including Vertex, NeoPharm, Oncogene Science, and Warner-Lambert. Corporate registry records show BioChem Therapeutic Inc. was incorporated in December 1997 and became inactive through amalgamation into BioChem Pharma on January 1, 1999. The entity appears to have been a real life-sciences company/division, but it is not an active standalone company today.
