Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, the Company issued and sold
in March 2000 in a private placement transaction 1,000,000 shares of Series K
preferred stock, which converted into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock upon
completion of the Company's initial public offering in August 2000, for an
aggregate price of $6,000,000 to entities affiliated with Alta BioPharma
Partners, L.P. of which Dr. Jean Deleage, one of the Company's directors, is a
general partner, and to International BM Biomedicine Holdings AG.

     The Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights
agreement with each of the purchasers of preferred stock set forth above,
pursuant to which these and other stockholders will have registration rights
with respect to their shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of their
preferred stock following the initial public offering.

     Since October 1998, Dr. Gail L. Brown has served as a consultant to the
Company on matters involving the clinical development of the Company's products.
Dr. Brown is the spouse of Dr. Wick, the Company's President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman. From January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000, the
Company paid Dr. Brown an aggregate of $255,000 for professional services to
Telik and reimbursed her $36,106 for expenses.

     In June 2000, the Company made a loan to Ms. Butitta in connection with the
exercise of her option to purchase 96,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
This full recourse loan has a principal amount of $153,600, bears an annual
interest rate of 6.5% and is due in June 2003.

     In February 2001, the Company entered into amendments to its Collaboration
Agreement, License Agreement and Screening Services Agreement with Sanwa Kagaku
Kenkyusho Co., Ltd., as more specifically described in Item 1, "Business -
Collaborative Relationships." The Company received an aggregate of $8.25 million
under the Collaboration Agreement and may receive up to $12.25 million more in
the future. In addition, in connection with these agreements, Sanwa has made
equity investments in the Company in an aggregate amount of $11.00 million.

     The following table sets forth the shares of common stock issued to Sanwa
upon conversion at the time of the Company's initial public offering in August
2000 of Sanwa's holdings of preferred stock:

and October 1998, respectively. As of March 15, 2001, Sanwa continued to hold

and certain officers for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to
these persons to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company also intends
to enter into those agreements with its future directors and officers.
