The company has since pulled the plug on developing the product as it seemed unlikely to be profitable as a medicine.

That says a lot doesn't it? So the company won't fund its development any longer as they cannot profit from it; if this is a medicine which is likely to be effective then surely UK government funding from say, overseas aid, can be diverted to develop this drug for the benefit of those needing it in the UK (for starters).
