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. Additional information is available
