Novartis AG (NVS) has agreed to pay up to $1.6 billion to Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (IONS) and its unit Akcea Therapeutics for the rights to two cardiovascular drugs.

The deal involves an upfront payment to Iona and Akcea of $75 million plus a $100 million equity investment in Iona. Novartis has also agreed to invest a further $50 million in either Ionis or Akcea within 18 months, as well as payments worth up to $1.4 billion should the drugs prove successful.

Both drugs aim to lower the level of cholesterol-carrying proteins in the blood and reduce the risk of certain cardiovascular diseases developing.
