Nabi Biopharmaceuticals

Nabi Biopharmacetuicals was a drug development company in Rockville, Maryland.

Its principal product was NicVAX (also known as 3′AmNic-rEPA), a nicotine conjugate vaccine intended to reduce physical addiction to nicotine.

The drug was developed with help from the U.S. National Institute of Drug Abuse, and showed promise in early studies,[1][2] however, two successive phase III trials of the drug in 2009 and 2011 failed.[3][4]

On Thursday, November 8, 2012 the business combination of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals and Biota Holdings Limited became effective to create Biota Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOTA)
