acebo consistently across all five endpoints studied, including both of the endpoints accepted by the FDA to register drugs for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. And second, Dimebon was well tolerated in this study, with less than three percent incidence of the gastrointestinal side effects that sometimes limit utilization of approved cholinesterase inhibitor drugs. Based on these data, I look forward to participating in the planned Phase 3 trials of this promising drug candidate."

The study of 183 patients was conducted at multiple sites in Russia. Patients received oral Dimebon, 20 mg three times a day (60 mg/day), or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the ADAS-cog and the secondary efficacy endpoints were the CIBIC-plus, the MMSE, the ADCS-ADL and the NPI. Medivation is presently completing a 12-month extension of this trial and expects to report top-line data in the second quarter of 2007. Medivation also expects to enter global Phase 3 studies of Dimebon in Alzheimer's disease in 2008 and, assuming positive data, to submit marketing applications in the U.S. and Europe in 2010 for this indication.

About Dimebon

Dimebon, the Company's lead product candidate, is an orally-available small molecule that has been shown to inhibit brain cell death in preclinical models relevant to Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease, making it a potential treatment for these and other neurodegenerative diseases. Based on the clinical and preclinical data generated to date, Medivation believes that Dimebon operates by a novel mechanism of action and may exert a neuroprotective effect in multiple areas of the central nervous system. Dimebon appears to block a new target that involves mitochondrial pores, which are believed to play a role in the cell death that is associated with neurodegenerative diseases and the aging process. Medivation is currently evaluating Dimebon in clinical trials in both Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases.
