Caleco Pharma Corp. (OTCBB: CAEH), a biopharmaceutical and consumer health products company, issued a press release yesterday providing insight into the development strategy for its lead, patent protected product line that targets a segment of the market that includes millions of people suffering from various liver maladies, especially the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).

"Pre-clinical research and an observational study have indicated that products derived from the company's proprietary "Liver Health" formulation, exhibit anti-viral activity," said John Boschert, Caleco's President and CEO. "We will continue pre-clinical work with these compounds, CPC.12115HP201 and CPC.12115HP202 in 2010 focusing on developing and testing additional derivatives as well as further compound isolation work on the parent herbal formulation. With the anti-viral activity profiles having been demonstrated in two bioassay systems, and considering the observed clinical effects of the parent herbal formulation, the Corporation believes continued preclinical development work is warranted.

The company is pursuing a two-tiered strategy to bring the parent herbal formulation to market while continuing development of CPC.12115HP201 and CPC.12115HP202. The company is actively engaged in pre-commercialization projects related to bringing the proprietary "Liver Health" formulation to worldwide markets as an oral health supplement following additional clinical trials expected to start in the first half of 2010. In addition, derivatives of the parent herbal formulation are being considered for oral supplement development targeted at immune system enhancement and as dermatologic products for use in common chronic dermatologic conditions.

To date, the Company's intellectual property covering the "Liver Health" formulations is comprised of patent applications in the United States, Europe and Canada and four European Drug Master File applications.

The stock closed yesterday at Twenty cents a share.
