Sanofi-aventis (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) has signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of BiPar Sciences, Inc., ("BiPar") a privately held US biopharmaceutical company, developing novel tumorselective approaches for the treatment of different types of cancers.

BiPar is the leading company in the emerging field of DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) repair using PARP (Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase) inhibitors. PARP inhibitors represent a new, targeted approach to treating many types of cancers. By preventing cancer cells from repairing their own DNA, PARP inhibitors ultimately cause cancer cell death.
