Kosan Presents Preclinical Antitumor and Safety Data On,Next-Generation Epothilone KOS-1803 at AACR

HAYWARD, Calif., April 16, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kosan Biosciences Incorporated today presented preclinical data on KOS-1803, a next-generation epothilone, showing a high level of antitumor activity and a favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile in a broad range of in vitro tests and in vivo cancer models. KOS-1803 has been chemically engineered to have a favorable tissue distribution pattern, which has been shown in models to result in excellent tumor penetration and a low side effect profile. In human tumor xenograft models, KOS-1803 has demonstrated antitumor activity in breast, lung, prostate and colorectal cancers, as well as in ovarian cancer and neuroblastoma where the extent and duration of tumor regression was curative. Kosan is currently advancing KOS-1803 through later-stage preclinical studies with the potential for future clinical development of the compound.

"KOS-1803 is an exciting, next-generation clinical candidate based on Kosan's proprietary epothilone D backbone that is demonstrating excellent potency and antitumor activity in multiple in vivo cancer models and in taxane-sensitive and resistant cancer cell lines," said Robert G. Johnson, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., Kosan's President and Chief Executive Officer. "KOS-1803 is particularly interesting due to its ability to induce tumor regression, activity at low doses, infrequent dosing schedule and attractive safety profile demonstrated in multiple xenograft models. Our development partner, Roche, and we expect that our lead epothilone compound, KOS-1584 (R1645), will enter Phase 2 trials in solid tumors later in 2007. KOS-1803 may represent a future opportunity to expand the therapeutic and commercial value of our companies' epothilone franchise."

Kosan's epothilone program is partnered with Roche through a global development and commercialization agreement in the area of cancer. In early 2007, Roche and Kosan announced the
