In the event a license in such Third Party Intellectual Property Right shall be taken, ZOGENIX shall negotiate and enter into such license including the right to sub-license its rights to DESITIN.

16.2

Following ZOGENIX’s decision to offer for license any Product line extension in the Territory, ZOGENIX shall promptly inform DESITIN in all relevant detail of any such Product line extensions, thus giving DESITIN a meaningful basis for taking a decision on whether or not to exercise the ROFR.

16.3

For a period of no more than [***] ([***]) months after ZOGENIX has supplied DESITIN with the information referred to in Clause 16.2 (the “Review Period”) DESITIN may exercise the ROFR by providing written notice to ZOGENIX within the Review Period of DESITIN’s desire to exercise the ROFR.

If the Parties are unable to reach agreement following the expiration of such additional [***] ([***])-month period, ZOGENIX shall thereafter be permitted to license any such Product line extension to a Third Party on terms no more favourable to such Third Party than those most recently offered by DESITIN.

Exhibit 23.3

Zogenix Licenses European Development and Commercial Rights for

sumatriptan DosePro™ to Desitin Pharmaceuticals, GmbH

SAN DIEGO, CA (March XX, 2008): Zogenix, Inc. (“Zogenix”), a private, specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has entered into a license agreement to grant exclusive rights in the European Union to Desitin Pharmaceuticals, GmbH (“Desitin”) to develop and commercialize Zogenix’s late stage, single use, needle-free product candidate for migraine headache, sumatriptan DosePro. The product candidate, that incorporates the Zogenix DosePro needle-free drug delivery technology, has previously demonstrated bioequivalence to the Imitrex STATdose System® (sumatriptan injection, GlaxoSmithKline) in a U.S. pivotal clinical trial and compelling ease-of-use in a usability trial with migraine sufferers.

Under the terms of the agreement, Desitin will oversee, and be responsible for the expenses related to, all clinical development, regulatory approvals and commercialization efforts required to market and sell sumatriptan DosePro across Europe. Zogenix will be responsible for the manufacture and supply of commercial product, and will receive a transfer price payment on manufactured product and royalty payments based on sales of the product upon commercialization. Zogenix retains full commercial rights to sumatriptan DosePro in the U.S., Canada, Asia and certain other countries.

Sales of triptans, the class of drugs in which sumatriptan DosePro is expected to compete, total approximately $550 million annually in the five major countries of Europe: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK, according to IMS Health MIDAS. “Triptans remain the standard of care in migraine treatment,” commented Dr. Stephen Farr, President and Chief Operating Officer of Zogenix. “However, there remains a significant unmet medical need for more effective, easy-to-use triptans that can deliver on the promise of providing faster onset and more complete pain relief without the use of a needle. Sumatriptan DosePro is designed to meet these needs.”

“This license agreement expands the potential reach for sumatriptan DosePro beyond the U.S., where, subject to regulatory approval, Zogenix is preparing to commercialize sumatriptan DosePro ourselves,” said Roger Hawley, Chief Executive Officer of Zogenix. “In Desitin, we have chosen a European partner that has a proven track record of successfully developing, registering and commercializing central nervous system (CNS) products. We look forward to seeing sumatriptan DosePro advance through these steps and launch in the European marketplace.”

“This agreement reflects the unique and well respected position Desitin holds in the European CNS market. We have the ability to both move this product candidate through the European regulatory process and to launch it with our CNS-focused sales representatives in more than nine countries,” commented Dr. Martin Zentgraf, Desitin’s General Manager. “This product candidate fits with our ongoing commitment to develop improved products that address unmet medical needs in the CNS market. We are delighted to be working with Zogenix and, subject to regulatory approval, look forward to bringing this important product candidate to the market for the benefit of patients.”
