ITEM 4.        PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
               -----------------------

               (a)  Item  4(a)  of the  Statement  is  hereby  amended  and
restated in full as follows:

               The  Reporting   Person  presently   beneficially   owns  an
aggregate of  7,173,630  shares of Common  Stock,  of which  5,150,000  are
shares of Common Stock owned directly by the Reporting Person and 1,450,000
are shares of Common  Stock which may be acquired by the  Reporting  Person
upon the  exercise of  Warrants  (as  defined  below) to acquire  shares of
Common Stock that are currently  exercisable  by the  Reporting  Person and
573,630  shares of Common Stock are to be acquired by the Reporting  Person
on August 3, 2000 as  described  below.  Of the total  7,173,630  shares so
beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, 800,000 shares were acquired by
the  Reporting  Person prior to June 30, 1997 (the "Initial  Shares"),  the
date of the First Closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement described
below,  and the remaining shares of Common Stock and Warrants were acquired
by the  Reporting  Person  pursuant to the terms of a  Securities  Purchase
Agreement,  dated as of May 13, 1997 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"),
between  the  Reporting  Person  and the  Company.  At the same time as the
parties entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement,  the parties and/or
their affiliates  entered into (i) the Warrant  Agreement,  dated as of May
13, 1997 (the "Warrant  Agreement")  between the  Reporting  Person and the
Company and (ii) the  Registration  Rights  Agreement,  dated as of May 13,
1997 (the "Registration Rights Agreement") between the Reporting Person and
the  Company.  The  Initial  Shares  were  acquired  by  Procter  &  Gamble
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Reporting  Person
pursuant to (i) a Stock Purchase  Agreement,  dated as of December 11, 1996
(the   "Initial   Purchase   Agreement"),    between   Procter   &   Gamble
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. and the Company,  and (ii) the  Registration  Rights
Agreement,  dated as of December 11, 1996 (the Initial  Registration Rights
Agreement), between Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Company.

               Of the total shares of Common Stock and Warrants acquired on
June 30, 1997 pursuant to the Securities Purchase  Agreement,  4,350,000 of
Common Stock and all of the Warrants were  acquired at the initial  closing
under the  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  on June 30,  1997  (the  "First
Closing").  At the First Closing, the Reporting Person acquired such shares
of Common  Stock and  Warrants  for an  aggregate  cash  purchase  price of
$42,934,500.

               In addition,  pursuant to its  commitment in the  Securities
Purchase  Agreement  to acquire  additional  shares of Common  Stock at the
election of the Company prior to June 30, 2002,  the Company sent notice on
May 31, 2000 to the Reporting  Person  requiring such  Reporting  Person to
acquire an  additional  573,630  shares of Common Stock of the Company at a
purchase  price of $29.75 per share in cash (for a total  consideration  of
$17,065,492.50).  This per  share  price  was the same  price at which  the
Company issued shares of Common Stock in its public offering consummated on
April 4, 2000. This  transaction is scheduled to close 45 trading days from
the date of notice (August 3, 2000).

               The purpose of the  acquisition  by the Reporting  Person of
all of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants  beneficially owned by it is
for general investment  purposes and to realize the potential  appreciation
in the value of the Common Stock based on the  Reporting  Person's  view of
the prospects of the Company at the time the Reporting  Person entered into
the Securities Purchase Agreement. In making its investment,  the Reporting
Person considered the Company's plans and prospects, including the business
opportunities that might arise from the commercial research and development
collaboration arrangements between the parties contemplated by the ten year
multi-project    collaboration   agreement   to   discover,   develop   and
commercialize   certain   pharmaceutical   products   (the   "Collaboration
Agreement"), between the Reporting Person and the Company.

               The  Reporting  Person  does not hold the  shares  of Common
Stock or  Warrants  it  beneficially  owns  with the  purpose  or effect of
changing or influencing control of the Company. The Reporting Person has no
representative  on the Board of  Directors  of the Company nor any right to
manage the business or affairs of the Company. In view of the expiration of
the Reporting Person's  commitment in the Securities Purchase Agreement not
to sell any shares of Common  Stock prior to June 27, 2000,  the  Reporting
Person  presently   intends,   subject  to  market   conditions,   to  sell
approximately 600,000 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions in
the next  several  months  in order to  maintain  its  aggregate  ownership
interest  in the Company at  approximately  the same level as was in effect
prior to the issuance by the Company to the Reporting Person of the 573,630
shares of Common Stock to be issued on August 3, 2000. Any such decision by
the  Reporting  Person  as to the  sale  of  such  shares  will  depend  on
prevailing market conditions,  the Reporting Person's view of the prospects
of the Company and other factors. Separately, the term of the Collaboration
Agreement is 10 years,  but either party may terminate the agreement at the
fifth  anniversary of the Effective  Date (as defined in the  Collaboration
Agreement)  with  one  year's  notice.  The  Reporting  Person  has made no
decision to terminate the Collaboration  Agreement and accordingly can give
no assurances that it will or will not terminate such agreement.

ITEM 5.        INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.
               ---------------------------------------

               (a) As of June 5,  2000 the  Reporting  Person  beneficially
owns  7,173,630  shares of Common  Stock,  inclusive  of Warrants  covering
1,450,000  shares  of Common  Stock,  and  representing  20.9% of the total
shares of Common Stock.

               (b) The  Reporting  Person  has sole  voting  power over all
shares  of  Common  Stock so  beneficially  owned by it and does not  share
voting  power  over  any  such  shares.   The  Reporting  Person  has  sole
dispositive power over all shares of Common Stock so beneficially  owned by
it and does not share dispositive power over any such shares.

               (c) None

ITEM 6.        CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
               WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.
               --------------------------------------------------------

               Item 6 to Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

Securities Purchase Agreement
-----------------------------

               Pursuant to the Initial  Purchase  Agreement,  the Reporting
Person purchased  800,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate  purchase
price of $10,000,000.

               Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Reporting
Person purchased at the First Closing,  for an aggregate  purchase price of
$42,934,500,  4,350,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,450,000 Warrants. Each
Warrant entitles the Reporting Person to purchase one share of Common Stock
at any time during the five years  subsequent to the  Effective  Date at an
Exercise  Price  of  $9.87  per  share,  in  accordance  with  the  Warrant
Agreement.

               Pursuant  to  its  commitment  in  the  Securities  Purchase
Agreement  to purchase  $60,000,000  in the  aggregate  in shares of Common
Stock during the 5-year period commencing at the First Closing, the Company
sent a  notice  on May  31,  2000 to the  Reporting  Person  requiring  the
Reporting  Person to purchase an additional  573,630 shares of Common Stock
at a cash  purchase  price of $29.75 per share 45 trading  days  thereafter
(August 3, 2000).

               As part of the Securities Purchase Agreement,  the Reporting
Person  agreed not to sell or dispose of any of the shares of Common  Stock
or  Warrants  owned by it during a 3-year  period  from the  First  Closing
ending June 27, 2000.  In addition,  the  Reporting  Persons  agreed not to
purchase  additional  shares  of  Common  Stock,  in  the  open  market  or
otherwise,  if, after giving effect thereto, the Reporting Person would own
in excess of 20% of the  outstanding  Common Stock and Class A Common Stock
counting together as a class or more than 20% of the aggregate voting power
of the Company's voting securities.

Warrant Agreement
-----------------

               Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant entitles the
Holder to  acquire  one share of Common  Stock at any time  during the five
years subsequent to such purchase at the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price
is subject  to  adjustment  upon the  occurrence  of certain  anti-dilution
events.

               Transfer by the Reporting Person of Warrants is subject to a
right of first  refusal in favor of the  Company.  If the Company  does not
elect to purchase  all or any part of such  offered  Warrants,  then within
sixty (60) days,  the  Reporting  Person may  transfer  all or part of such
Warrants to the proposed purchaser.

               The Warrant Agreement shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York
time on June 30, 2002. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant Agreement
will terminate on any earlier date if all Warrants have been exercised.

Registration Rights Agreement
-----------------------------

               Pursuant to the Registration  Rights Agreement,  the holders
of a majority  of  Registrable  Securities,  at any time from and after the
third   anniversary  of  the  Effective  Date,  may,   subject  to  certain
limitations, make a total of two written requests (a "Demand Registration")
to the Company for  registration  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 of all
shares of Common  Stock owned by or issuable  upon the exercise of Warrants
owned by the Reporting Person.

               The Company has also granted the  Reporting  Person  certain
customary  piggyback  registration rights to permit the Reporting Person to
include  shares of Common Stock owned by it in any  registration  statement
filed for the account of the Company or to the holders of the Common Stock.
The Reporting Person has also made certain holdback commitments not to sell
shares of Common Stock following the completion of an  underwritten  public
offering.
