History

In 1994, Rudi Pauwels (Rega Institute for Medical Research) founded Tibotec, together with his wife Carine Claeys, and their first co-workers Marie-Pierre de Béthune, Kurt Hertogs, and Hilde Azijn. In 1995 Paul Stoffels (Janssen Pharmaceutica) joins Tibotec. The company was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in April 2002. The name of the company is derived from the tetrahydro-imidazo[4,5,1-jk][1,4]-benzodiazepine-2(1H)-one and -thione (TIBO) compounds discovered at the Rega Institute for Medical Research (Belgium)[1].

Drugs

Tibotec licensed TMC120, a NNRTI, to the International Partnership for Microbicides for its development as a vaginal microbicide in March 2004.
