          LONDON — Novo Nordisk said Monday it would acquire the German firm Cardior Pharmaceuticals in a deal worth up to $1.1 billion, picking up additional drug candidates for its pipeline of cardiometabolic medicines. 

          Cardior focuses on targeting RNA to address the root causes of heart disease. Its lead candidate, known CDR132L, is in Phase 2 development as a treatment for health failure.
