Bionovo to Present Recent Findings of BZL101, Its Anti-cancer,Agent, at the American Association of Cancer Research

EMERYVILLE, Calif., April 16, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bionovo, Inc. will present findings on the mechanism of action of its anti-cancer agent BZL101, which is advancing to Phase 1/2 clinical testing for late stage breast cancer at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA, April 14 - 17, 2007.

Bionovo's poster presentation will describe the pathway for cancer cell apoptosis (cell death) induced by BZL101 while leaving normal cells unaffected. As explained by Dr. Emma Shtivelman, Director of Cancer Research at Bionovo, the ability of BZL101 to induce apoptosis is due to attenuation of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) leading to the release of reactive oxygen species, causing inhibition of glycolysis and ending with induction of oxidative DNA damage.

A paper on BZL101's mechanism of action and unique selective properties based on the company's initial Phase 1 clinical trial was published late last year in the peer-reviewed journal, Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.

"BZL101's mechanism of action and unique selective properties" said Dr. Isaac Cohen, President and CEO of Bionovo, "are a result of some of the biological differences between cancer cells and normal cells. We are hoping that capitalizing on the difference will result in a safe and effective treatment for cancer."

Bionovo, Inc.
