It is a niche product, been bought and sold by various compaines. It is probably being used to fund another drug's research, so it is market up probably 5000% of what it cost. I am guessing it cost under $30.00 USD to make.
It's amazing what price they can get away with, probably like you say it's to help fund other research. But I suppose if governments and/or insurance companies are willing to pay it then the price will remain high.
