About Antibe Therapeutics Inc.
Antibe Therapeutics Inc. originates, develops and out-licenses patent-protected new pharmaceuticals that are improved versions of existing drugs. These improvements are based on Nobel Prize-winning medical research highlighting the crucial role of gaseous mediators, which are chemical substances produced in the human body to regulate a range of fundamental cellular processes. The Corporation's drug design methodologies involve chemically linking an existing off-patent drug ("base drug") to an Antibe-patented, hydrogen sulfide-releasing molecule. For medical conditions characterized by inflammation, pain or vascular dysfunction, the Corporation's methodologies can efficiently produce improved versions of a number of existing drugs. Notably, Antibe's products are themselves fully patent-protectable and benefit from the predictable toxicity and effectiveness profiles of the base drug.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
