Grunden för samarbetet är Aqilions utveckling av selektiva småmolekylära hämmare av målproteinet Tak1, som anses vara en viktig regulator för olika inflammatoriska signaler.

Enligt överenskommelsen ska Aqilion ansvara för design och syntes av nya småmolekylära Tak1- hämmare, medan Merck ska leda arbetet inom preklinisk farmakologi och biologi.
