Indaflex ™
AlphaRx is presently focusing on Indaflex ™ which has shown excellent activities
in the animal model, has multi-billion dollar markets and limited competition. Indaflex ™ is
AlphaRx's topical NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug) formulation intended
to be used in the treatment of arthritis. Arthritis is the most common chronic
condition in North America and afflicts an estimated 10% of the world's population.
Indaflex ™'s active ingredient, Indomethacin, has a long-standing and proven
clinical treatment record. With AlphaRx's enhanced proprietary delivery system,
its clinical effectiveness is thought to be significantly enhanced. Topical Indaflex ™ delivery
is intended to circumvent the significant GI side-effects found with orally ingested
NSAID's.
Rifamsolin™
Rifamsolin™ is
encapsulating Rifampicin, an antibiotic mainly used
to treat tuberculosis, in nanoparticles for intracellular
delivery. This early stage drug candidate is currently
going through in-vitro and in-vivo studies including
biodistribution studies, evaluation of the efficacy
in murine infection models and toxicological studies.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis ("TB") is
the leading cause of death among HIV positive and
infected patients in U.S. Traditional treatment
regimen is long and patient compliance is low.
The Company believes that by successfully delivering
Rifampicin inside the human cell, its efficacy
may be substantially increased.
Zysolin™
Zysolin™ is a nanoparticle encapsulated
formulation of Gentamicin, a broad spectrum antibiotic,
also targeted for intracellular delivery. This
drug candidate is currently undergoing in-vivo
studies including: biodistribution studies,
evaluation of the efficacy in murine infection
models and toxicological studies. HAP is the
second most common hospital-acquired infection.
It affects approximately 300,000 patients in the
United States annually and is associated with mortality
rates of 30 to 33 percent for hospitalized
patients and mortality rates as high as 70% for
patients in the ICU setting. The Company hopes
to advance Zisolin™ into the clinical approval
phase by mid-2007.
Binoxan™
Binoxan™ is a topical, non-acidic, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory pro-drug in a colloidal formulation,
intended for the treatment of ocular inflammation,
eye pain and photophobia. Based upon prescription
data compiled by IMS Health, it is estimated that
over 8.6 million prescriptions are written annually
in U.S. for topical ophthalmic anti-inflammatory
agents, with sales in excess of $400 M USD.
Ocusolin™
Ocusolin™ is a topical ophthalmic solution
utilizing Gentamicin, in a nanoparticulate formulation, that
is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria
including strains resistant to more than one antibiotic.
The Company believes Ocusolin™ has the potential
to become one of the leading topical antibiotics
in the U.S. due to its broad antimicrobial spectrum,
its’ ability to eradicate resistant bacteria,
its’ ability to penetrate the surface of
the eye and potential “twice-a-day” dosing
in contrast to the ‘four-times-a-day” dosing
of existing products with similar clinical indications.
The Company is advancing Ocusolin™ into animal
studies in China and hopes to begin clinical studies
by mid-2007.
LT0155
AL0155 is a topical ophthalmic solution combining an antibiotic
and NSAID in a colloidal formulation intended for the treatment of
ocular inflammation and ocular infection. This early stage drug
candidate is currently going through in-vivo studies including
biodistribution study, evaluation of the efficacy in murine infection
models and toxicological studies.
Vansolin™
Vansolin™ is encapsulating Vancomycin, a broad spectrum antibiotic,
in the Company's nanoparticulate drug delivery platform for intracellular delivery.
This early stage drug candidate is currently going through in-vitro and in-vivo
studies including biodistribution study, evaluation of the efficacy in murine
infection models and toxicological studies.
