NEUROBIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES SIGNS VIPRINEX PACTS.

Neurobiological Technologies, Inc. (NTI) (NASDAQ:NTII) has signed agreements with Nordmark Arzneimittel GmbH & Co KG (Nordmark) and Baxter Pharmaceutical Solutions, LLC (Baxter) to manufacture, fill and package Viprinex(TM) (ancrod) for NTI's Phase III clinical trials in acute ischemic stroke. Nordmark will manufacture the biological active ingredient, ancrod, which is derived from the venom of the Malayan pit viper (Ancistrodon rhodostoma). Key members of the Nordmark team produced the product while employed by the former Knoll AG, the previous manufacturer of ancrod.

Baxter will aseptically fill and package the drug product, Viprinex, into its finished form, along with the corresponding placebo. The Phase III clinical trials are scheduled to start in the third quarter of this year.

Stephen J. Petti, vice president of Product Development, stated, "We are fortunate to work with Nordmark, as some of their key personnel have successfully produced this product while employed by Knoll AG. This experience has allowed us to move efficiently through the learning curve. Baxter is well known for its fill and packaging capabilities and we are delighted to work with their seasoned professionals. Nordmark and Baxter are key team members of our development process, as we prepare for the Phase III trials."
