LONDON--AstraZeneca PLC (AZN.LN) has agreed to sell the U.S. rights to Crohn's disease treatment Entocort to Perrigo Company PLC (PRGO) for $380 million.

AstraZeneca, the U.K-based pharmaceutical group which is selling off non-core assets, said on Monday that Perrigo will also acquire authorized generic Entocort capsules marketed by Par Pharmaceuticals. The drug is a gastroenterology medicine for patients with mild to moderate Crohn's disease.

"Our agreement with Perrigo completes the global divestment of Entocort, emphasizing our strategic focus on three main therapy areas and providing further simplification of our supply chain," Luke Miels, an AstraZeneca executive vice president.

AstraZeneca had previously sold the rights to the drug outside the U.S. to Tillotts Pharma AG.

The latest transaction is expected to complete by the end of 2015.
