Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Common Stock" are to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Triangle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment is being filed in connection with the acquisition of the Second Closing Shares on October 10, 2001 in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Item 1. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, WP VIII purchased 9,628,002 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $2.65 per share (the "Initial Closing Shares"), with the purchase price paid in cash on August 24, 2001 (the "Initial Closing") and 13,756,885 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $2.65 per share (the "Second Closing Shares" and, together with the Initial Closing Shares, the "Shares") with the purchase price paid in cash on October 10, 2001. The total amount of funds required to purchase the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was $61,969,950.55 and was furnished from the working capital of WP VIII. No additional funds were required to acquire beneficial ownership of the Common Stock reported on this Schedule 13D. Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: (a) As of October 10, 2001, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 23,384,887 shares of Common Stock. WP VIII may be deemed to beneficially own 23,384,887 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 30.5% of the 76,683,805 shares of outstanding Common Stock, based on the 48,381,918 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 21, 2001 (which number was represented by the Company in the Purchase Agreement to be outstanding on that date) plus (i) 9,628,002 shares of Common Stock issued in the Initial Closing and (ii) a total of 19,417,262 shares of Common Stock issued in the Second Closing. By reason of their respective relationships with WP VIII and each other, each of the other Reporting Persons may also be deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to own beneficially 23,384,887 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 30.5% of the outstanding Common Stock. (b) WP VIII shares the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 23,384,887 shares of Common Stock it may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of the Reporting Persons shares with WP VIII the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 23,384,887 shares of Common Stock it may be deemed to beneficially own. The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock, other than those reported herein as being owned by it. (c) Other than the acquisition of the Initial Closing Shares, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected during the last sixty days by the Reporting Persons or any of the persons set forth on Schedule I or in Item 2(d) hereto.

(e) Not applicable.
