TAMPA, FL ("Nanobac" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the signing of a research collaboration agreement with BioChemics Inc. (BCI) to utilize BCI's leading patented drug delivery technology (VALE�) for the transdermal (topical) delivery of Nanobac compounds for the treatment of prostatitis. Terms of the deal include upfront payments already made, future payments, R&D support as well as milestones for success for BCI.

"The Company believes that utilizing BCI's proprietary transdermal therapeutic delivery system will be beneficial to prostatitis patients due to a more targeted approach of the active ingredient/molecule," said Dr. Benedict Maniscalco, Co-Chairman and Chief Medical Officer of Nanobac Pharmaceuticals. "Through this collaboration with BCI we have now gained access to a promising targeted drug therapy that potentially allows us to address an area of high medical importance where current therapies are clearly inadequate," Dr. Maniscalco concluded.

"Based on the nature of this disease, we believe that the combination of Nanobac's active pharmaceutical agent combined with BCI's drug delivery technology may provide a more efficacious treatment therapy for patients suffering from prostatitis," said John J. Masiz, Esq., President & CEO of BioChemics. "BCI is extremely excited about this collaboration because we see the broader applications in this and other diseases where a targeted transdermal approach may be a better option than oral or i.v. routes of administration," concluded Masiz.

About Prostatitis/CPPS

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) suggest that Prostatitis might account for up to 25 percent of all office visits by young and middle-aged men for complaints involving the genital and urinary systems. The term prostatitis actually encompasses four disorders: Acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) and Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis. CPPS is the most common but least understood form of prostatitis. It is found in men of any age and its symptoms have a profound effect on quality of life. Symptoms include pain (pelvic and genitals), urinary frequency and erectile dysfunction.

About BioChemics, Inc.

BioChemics is a pharmaceutical company that has developed a novel, transdermal drug delivery system for the first time that may allow almost any drug to be efficiently delivered through the skin. The transdermal technology, called VALE� (Vaso-active Lipid Encapsulated), may allow a substantial portion of the pharmacopeia to be re-engineered, turning oral drugs into transdermals that are safer (no gastro-intestinal problems), cheaper and potentially faster acting (applied directly to the treated area) than oral equivalents. The company's focus is on multi-billion dollar market opportunities currently underserved by existing therapies. The company's two lead clinical products focus on treating diabetic neuropathy and osteoarthritis. Founded in 1989, the Company is headquartered in Danvers, Mass.
