Another company passed on it given the safety profile.


Which company passed on it due to safety concerns? Genuinely curious because I have not read that far.

In April 2020, a whistleblower complaint by former Head of US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) Rick Bright revealed concerns over providing funding for the further development of molnupiravir due to similar drugs having mutagenic (DNA damaging) properties.[3] A previous company, Pharmasset, that had investigated the drug's active ingredient had abandoned it.
