Views: 607
Actelion makes therapies to treat,
. . . pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH),
. . . a disease characterized by,
. . . high blood pressure between the heart, and lungs.

Wells Fargo Securities believes,
. . . Johnson & Johnson may buy Actelion for
. . . $32 billion.

“J&J, of all the big pharmas, is the best one for Actelion,’’
. . . said John Rountree, managing partner at Novasecta Ltd.,
. . . a pharmaceutical consulting firm in London.
J&J would give the Swiss company access to the U.S. capital market, and
. . . may allow Actelion to maintain at least some independence, he said.
“They perhaps might be more hands off,
. . . than some other potential acquirers,’’ he said.
