DiObex Announces Presentation of Scientific Poster at Annual Meeting of American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics
Date:4/1/2008

Data supports potential use of DIO-902 with Atorvastatin

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- DiObex, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics to treat metabolic diseases, announced today that a scientific poster relating to DIO-902 (levdexketoconazole) is being presented at the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics annual meeting on Saturday, April 5th in Orlando. DIO-902 is being studied in Phase 2b clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

The poster, entitled "Differential Effects of Co-Administration of Racemic Ketoconazole and Levdexketoconazole on the Pharmacokinetic Profile of Atorvastatin," highlights the results of a study evaluating the effects of equal doses of the single enantiomer DIO-902 and racemic ketoconazole, on the pharmacokinetics of a single 80 mg dose of atorvastatin in healthy volunteers. Overall, repeated oral administration of DIO-902 tablets with atorvastatin was safe and well tolerated; in addition, DIO-902 significantly reduced cortisol levels compared with ketoconazole.

"The increase in total exposure of atorvastatin was significantly less when it was administered with DIO-902 than with racemic ketoconazole," said Dr. Tim Stewart, Vice President of Research at DiObex. "In addition, the administration of DIO-902 with atorvastatin resulted in significantly reduced cortisol levels from placebo, compared with atorvastatin administered with racemic ketoconazole. This finding supports preclinical evidence that DIO-902 is a more potent inhibitor of cortisol synthesis than ketoconazole."

DIO-902 is an oral, single enantiomer of ketoconazole, a common anti-fungal drug. DiObex is developing DIO-902 as a novel cortisol inhibitor for treating type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. There is growing evidence linking abnormal cortisol metabolism to both type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, prompting a search for thera
