Marketwired
Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Corporation (TSX VENTURE: APC) (the
"Corporation" or "APC") is pleased to announce that it has entered
into an agreement for a feasibility study with a leading global
pharmaceutical company interested in evaluating APT's proprietary
crosslinking technologies.
Per the agreement, APC will chemically modify a specified entity
by site-specifically attaching it to a variety of carriers that are
designed to afford improved properties in clinical settings. Key
properties of the modified entities will then be evaluated. APC has
developed technology and filed patent applications to cover its
inventions in the area of protein modification which it believes
provide important scientific and commercial advantages that could
be demonstrated under the terms of the agreement.
"This agreement is an important step for Advanced Proteome
Therapeutics as our scientists have developed several potential
drugs and diagnostics that have advanced to testing stages, which
have been an outgrowth of our platform technologies. The
opportunity to apply our platform to a specific initiative of a
leading global pharmaceutical company will accelerate its further
development and expand its scope. This agreement positions our
Company for ongoing collaborations, business agreements, and should
stimulate interest from additional top-tier partners," said
Alexander Krantz, President and CEO of APC.
"Having rebranded our protein modification technology to Swift
Linkage Multivalent Technology™ (SLMT) has helped raise our
visibility with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in
search of novel broad-based platform technologies involving protein
modification, and we anticipate moving forward on various
applications of our SLMT™ platform."
About APC
APC's primary corporate primary mission is to apply its
proprietary drug delivery and drug redevelopment technologies to
produce new, improved versions of therapeutic proteins and pioneer
the emerging field of protein-site targeting. The market for
diagnostics and therapeutic proteins and peptides is expected to
surpass more than 50 Billion USD by the year 2010 and is the
fastest growing segment of the pharmaceutical market. Future growth
however depends largely on the industry overcoming a number of
hurdles, including drug delivery challenges and the need for
homogeneous conjugates that APC is attempting to address.
