Under the agreement generic drug manufacturer Teva will use Codexis biocatalysis technology for key process steps in the manufacture of the three products. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Codexis develops proprietary custom biocatalysts, and its technology is said to contribute to lower pharmaceutical process development and manufacturing costs.
"Expansion of our relationship with Teva from one to four products in under a year demonstrates the value of Codexis technology in today's competitive pharmaceuticals market," said Alan Shaw, president and chief executive of Codexis. "We are pleased to broaden our relationship with this major pharmaceuticals company."
