International Conference, the Company announced the following: MP470, a
clinical-stage multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, demonstrates
preclinical synergy with DNA damaging agents (Poster A173, Abstract
1026); S110, a decitabine-derived DNA demethylating agent, shows
improved pre-clinical activity due to increased drug delivery and
stability (Poster 140, Abstract 1038); and, the proprietary CLIMB(TM)
technology was successful in the lead development and design of small
molecule JAK2 and Pim kinase inhibitors (Posters C200, Abstract 907 and
C208, Abstract 985). Also, Dr. Peter A. Jones, Director of USC's Norris
Cancer Center, further discussed S110 in a plenary session on cancer
epigenetics.
-- The Company announced during an oral presentation at the American
Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's 49th Annual Meeting in
Los Angeles that MP470, a clinical-stage multi-targeted tyrosine kinase
inhibitor, is cytotoxic to glioblastoma multiforme cell lines (Abstract
178). Activity was also demonstrated in vivo in a glioblastoma
multiforme xenograft model. Evidence presented suggests that MP470
inhibits DNA damage repair through suppression of a critical DNA repair
protein, Rad51. Dr. James Welsh of the University of Arizona, who
conducted these pre-clinical studies, also revealed that the pre-
clinical activity of MP470 against glioblastoma multiforme cells is
synergistic with radiation.
December 2007:
-- As part of a series of presentations at the American Society of
Hematology's 49th Annual Meeting, the Company described how its
proprietary CLIMB technology was used in lead development and design of
small molecule Pim kinase inhibitors (Poster 845, Abstract 2655) and
how its novel decitabine dinucleotide
