The registered number for Ethicor Pharma Ltd. was 07984824, and the business' SIC Code was 46460, which stood for wholesale of pharmaceutical goods. The company has never existed under any other name, but as of July 6, 2017, it does appear that the Ethicor was liquidated and the business closed down entirely, even though some sources still say that the company is active. For this reason, there are currently no mortgages or charges against the company, and the most recent reports available on the financial standings of Ethicor Pharma Ltd. are from June 30, 2016. When Ethicor was still an active business, it was headquartered in Chester, U.K. at 22 Nicholas Street, Chester, Cheshire West and Chester CH1 2NX, UK.

Deal History
On July 29, 2013, Ethicor entered into an agreement with Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc. for a development and commercialization license. Ethicor was granted permission to develop and market an oral drug, Lasofoxifene, throughout Europe, Switzerland, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This product was not yet licensed in Europe, Switzerland, or India whenever the contract was signed. Ligand ended the agreement for marketing of this drug in the beginning of 2017.
On November 15, 2013, Ethicor Pharma Ltd. was a licensee to RXI Pharmaceuticals Corp. in a sales and marketing agreement. RXi granted permission to Ethicor to distribute RX1-109, a drug used in the European Union for treating scarring on the lower abdomen. When the contract was signed, the drug was in Clinical Phase II testing.

Conclusion
Based on the information about Ethicor Pharma Ltd. that was publicly available, it looks as though the business went bankrupt and could not pay back their debts. As a result, the company was liquidated in mid-July 2017 and is no longer an active business. When Ethicor was still up-and-running, it functioned primarily as a distributor and marketer of pharmaceutical products in the European and nearby countries. The company was never able to break-even or have a positive net worth, and this is likely the reason that they went out of business.
