If the deal happens to go through, it would be Sun's second association with Japan. It had acquired Ranbaxy Laboratories from Japan's Daiichi Sankyo last year.
Reportedly, the deal could be valued at US$ 300-400 million and might be concluded by as early as December. The deal will enable Sun to gain market access in the world's second largest pharma market.
