Annual JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco on Thursday

About Marshall Edwards, Inc.
Marshall Edwards, Inc. is a specialist oncology company focused
on the clinical development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics.
These derive from a flavonoid technology platform, which has
generated a number of novel compounds characterized by broad
ranging activity against a range of cancer cell types with few side
effects. The combination of anti-tumor cell activity and low
toxicity is believed to be a result of the ability of these
compounds to target an enzyme present in the cell membrane of
cancer cells, thereby inhibiting the production of pro-survival
proteins within the cell. Marshall Edwards has licensed rights from
Novogen Limited (ASX: NRT) (NASDAQ: NVGN) to bring three oncology
drugs -- phenoxodiol, triphendiol and NV-143 -- to market globally.
Marshall Edwards' lead investigational drug, phenoxodiol, is in a
Phase III multinational multi-centered clinical trial for patients
with recurrent ovarian cancer. More information on the trial can be
found at http://www.OVATUREtrial.com.
Marshall Edwards is majority owned by Novogen (ASX: NRT)
(NASDAQ: NVGN), an Australian biotechnology company that is
specializing in the development of therapeutics based on a
flavonoid technology platform. Novogen is developing a range of
therapeutics across the fields of oncology, cardiovascular disease
and inflammatory diseases. More information on phenoxodiol and on
the Novogen group of companies can be found at
www.marshalledwardsinc.com and www.novogen.com.
