Phytopharm will this week become the first publicly listed biotechnology 
company to seek an injunction against Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (Shac), the 
animal rights group.
In recent weeks activists from Shac have targeted Phytopharm, a drug 
discovery company that hopes to develop a cure for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease 
based on traditional plant remedies.
Last year the company signed a licensing agreement with Yamanouchi, a client 
of Huntingdon Life Sciences, the animal testing company that has been a 
particular target of Shac's protests.
