A Message to Nanobac Pharmaceuticals Shareholders.TAMPA, Fla. -- Nanobac Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :NNBP) ("Nanobac" or "the Company") announced last year a sharpened focus in three areas: 1) developing safe and effective drug therapies for diseases where soft tissue calcification calcification /cal·ci·fi·ca·tion/ (kal?si-fi-ka´shun) the deposit of calcium salts in a tissue. dystrophic calcification , or "calcium deposits," is a dominant feature, 2) validating the Company's antibody and antigen derived diagnostics to determine levels of calcification, and 3) scientific studies to determine the infectious nature of the calcifying calcifying mineralized. calcifying aponeurotic fibroma locally aggressive nodular masses that involve membranous bones, particularly those of the canine skull (zygomatic arch), and rarely metastasize. nano particles (CNPs). The sharpened focus on drug therapies led to a Pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) meeting with the FDA FDA abbr. Food and Drug Administration FDA, n.pr See Food and Drug Administration. FDA, n.pr the abbreviation for the Food and Drug Administration. on January 19, 2007. With positive results from this meeting, the Company is moving forward with the IND application for Chronic prostatitis/Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) also referred to as category III prostatitis prostatitis (prŏs'tətī`tĭs), inflammation of the prostate gland. Acute prostatitis is usually a result of infection in the urinary tract or infection carried by the blood; in many cases the infection spreads from the urethra and is . In the United States, more than 2 million men per year visit their physician for prostatitis. Nanobac's strategic partner at the Cleveland Clinic will be the principal investigator for the clinical trial portion of this IND. The sharpened focus on diagnostics has uncovered interesting characteristics about the nature of CNPs and their interaction with certain rogue proteins. Nanobac's Finnish science team is coordinating the efforts on validating these new findings with strategic partners in Canada and at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The sharpened focus on determining if there is an infectious nature to CNPs is through collaborative efforts with the Mayo Clinic and investigators at China's Coal Medical College. These studies are scheduled to conclude in June. If successful, we will establish that CNPs are a causative agent in the formation of calcific calcific /cal·cif·ic/ (-ik) forming lime. calcific forming lime. diseases, and in the specific case of the China study, Gall Stones gall stones, n.pl pieces of solid material comprised of numerous inorganic and organic substances, including bile salts, electrolytes, bilirubin, fatty acids, water, and cholesterol that develop within the gallbladder and can potentially obstruct the flow . It also suggests that CNPs might play a similar role in the formation of kidney stones Kidney Stones Definition Kidney stones are solid accumulations of material that form in the tubal system of the kidney. Kidney stones cause problems when they block the flow of urine through or out of the kidney. , prostatic stones and could be the agent involved with the calcification stage of atherosclerosis. "The Company will continue optimizing its proprietary diagnostics, with a clear focus on developing effective therapies in cooperation with well-established partners including NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. , Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and potential new partners in the pharmaceutical industry. Once these experiments are completed, we hope to have a compelling and well-rounded scientific basis for the Company to move forward," Dr. Benedict Maniscalco, Co-Chair and Chief Medical Officer stated. About Nanobac Pharmaceuticals: Nanobac Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is dedicated to the discovery and development of products and services to improve human health through the detection and treatment of calcifying nanoparticles (CNPs), formerly known as nanobacteria. The company's pioneering research is establishing the pathogenic role of CNPs in soft tissue calcification, particularly in coronary artery coronary artery n. 1. An artery with origin in the right aortic sinus; with distribution to the right side of the heart in the coronary sulcus, and with branches to the right atrium and ventricle, including the atrioventricular branches and , prostate and vascular disease. Nanobac's drug discovery and development is focused on new and existing compounds that effectively inhibit, destroy or neutralize CNPs. Nanobac manufactures In Vitro in vitro /in vi·tro/ (in ve´tro) [L.] within a glass; observable in a test tube; in an artificial environment. in vi·tro adj. In an artificial environment outside a living organism. Diagnostic (IVD (Interactive VideoDisc) See interactive video. ) kits and reagents for detecting calcifying nanoparticles. IVD products include a line of assays, proprietary antibodies and reagents for uniquely recognizing CNPs. Nanobac's BioAnalytical Services works with biopharmaceutical partners to develop and apply methods for avoiding, detecting, and inactivating or eliminating CNPs from raw materials.
