Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 26, 2009, MediciNova, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ MediciNova ”), and Hospira Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Hospira ” and, together with MediciNova, the “ Parties ”), entered into a Development and Supply Agreement (the “ Agreement ”). Under the Agreement, Hospira will provide MediciNova pre-commercialization manufacturing activities and manufacture commercial supplies of the finished drug product for MN-221, a highly selective ß2-andrenergic receptor agonist (“ MN-221 ”), utilizing Hospira’s ADD-Vantage ^® drug delivery system (the “ Products ”). The Products currently have not obtained regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “ FDA ”) or any other foreign regulatory authority.

Under the Agreement, MediciNova will pay Hospira development fees upon the completion of specified development activities. Such fees may be amended if the Parties change the intended scope of or procedure for developing the Products. Upon the finalization of the specifications of the Products, and provided that MediciNova obtains the necessary approvals from applicable regulatory authorities, MediciNova will pay specified prices for any ordered Products, subject to price adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Under the Agreement, MediciNova will buy the Products exclusively from Hospira based on forecasts, and Hospira will manufacture, sell and deliver MediciNova’s worldwide requirements of the Products, provided the Parties will have no such obligations for any country within the territory until MediciNova has obtained all necessary regulatory approvals to sell the Products in such country. Hospira may not manufacture the Products for any party other than MediciNova.

Unless otherwise terminated, the Agreement will last until the tenth anniversary from the first day of the month after the month of MediciNova’s first bona fide commercial sale of Products and will automatically renew for additional two-year periods thereafter, unless either Party provides at least twelve months’ written notice of termination to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may terminate the Agreement by mutual agreement if the Parties determine in good faith that the development of the Products for commercial sale is not technically feasible despite each Party’s commercially reasonable efforts. Either Party can terminate the Agreement (1) if the Products have not received regulatory approval for commercial sale by a certain date; (2) upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other Party; and (3) if the other Party has not cured any material breach of any warranty or material provision of the Agreement within 60 days of receiving written notice of such breach. In addition, MediciNova has the right to terminate the Agreement if it decides to cease development or commercialization of the Products, and Hospira may terminate the Agreement if MediciNova waives certain manufacturing and delivery obligations of Hospira on an ongoing basis. If the Agreement is terminated, MediciNova will be required to purchase from Hospira undelivered Products manufactured pursuant to firm purchase orders in certain cases and reimburse Hospira for the cost of either returning to MediciNova all MediciNova-owned equipment or otherwise disposing of such equipment.
