Star Scientific, Inc. Refutes Story Published on TheStreet.com
Date:1/28/2013

isease is being sponsored by Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals and conducted at the Roskamp Institute.

Prior to the introduction of the Company's first dietary supplement, research scientists at Harvard University's McLean Hospital completed extensive research, which was funded by Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, relating to the safety of anatabine as well as its non-nicotinic effects in connection with development of the product.

Furthermore, The Street.com article's implication or suggestion that Johns Hopkins has had no involvement in anatabine research is also false.  As previously reported, a preclinical investigator-initiated and independently funded study from Johns Hopkins examined the effect of anatabine supplementation on autoimmune thyroiditis in a mouse model and that research was recently published in an article entitled, "Anatabine Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Thyroiditis" in the Endocrine Society's journal, Endocrinology.  (Endocrinology. 2012 Sep; 153(9):4580-7.)  All three of the published articles referenced in this press release were peer reviewed anonymously by experts in the field chosen by the editors of the journals. 

Star Scientific notes that the author of the article in TheStreet.com, Adam Feuerstein , has published a number of negative articles regarding the Company and its research on anatabine.  The Company believes that investors and consumers of its Anatabloc® product would be well advised to view any such articles by this author or publications regarding the Company in TheStreet.com with substantial skepticism, given the misstatements and misinformation that the author disseminates. 

Star Scientific takes its responsibilities to provide and present accurate information about and to respond to false statements about its products very seriously.  This press release and communications that are being sent to The Street and its author by S
