DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 23, 2007 - Ceragenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB:CGXP), a biopharmaceutical company focused on infectious disease and dermatology, today announced the publication of a research paper on two of the Company's antimicrobial compounds: CSA-8 and CSA-13. The paper appeared in the April issue of the Journal of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a peer-reviewed official Journal of the American Society of Microbiology, dedicated to advances in the field of applied microbiology.

The publication is entitled "Antimicrobial Activities of Ceragenins Against Clinical Isolates of Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus" authored by Drs.Chin, Rybak, Cheung and Savage (Drs. Chin, Rybak and Cheung are researchers at the Anti-Infective Research Laboratory of the Eugene Appelbaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Wayne State University and Dr. Savage is the Reed Izatt Professor of Chemistry and BioChemistry at Brigham Young University). Dr. Savage is the inventor of the Ceragenin(TM) technology and also serves as a consultant to the Company. The authors highlight the need for development of new antimicrobial compounds to combat the rising incidence of strains of Staphylococcus Aureus that are now resistant to methicillin (MRSA) and vancomycin (VISA, hVISA and VRSA) antibiotics and describe the potent in vitro activity of CSA-8 and CSA-13 against such strains. The authors concluded that:

"Ceragenins are unique, low-molecular-mass compounds that have potent bactericidal activities against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, particularly clinically relevant pathogens such as MRSA .... Both CSA-8 and CSA-13 are promising antimicrobials and may have important therapeutic implications for infections caused by hVISA and VISA strains. Given that these small compounds are experimental antimicrobial agents, future safety, efficacy and pharmokinetic studies in vivo should be performed to cor
