Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/originoil.htm

 

OriginOil, Inc. is developing a breakthrough technology that will transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum. Much of the world's oil and gas is made up of ancient algae deposits. Today, our technology will produce "new oil" from algae, through a cost-effective, high-speed manufacturing process. This endless supply of new oil can be used for many products, such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents, without the global warming effects of petroleum. Other oil-producing feedstock, such as corn and sugarcane, often destroy vital farmlands and rainforests, disrupt global food supplies and create new environmental problems. Our unique technology, based on algae, is targeted at fundamentally changing our source of oil without disrupting the environment or food supplies.

July 27 - OriginOil Announces Breakthrough Process for Live Algae Oil Extraction

 

Algae ‘milking’ promises new efficiencies as part of a combined production cycle

 

OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL), the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform algae, the most promising source of renewable oil, into a true competitor to petroleum, announced that it has succeeded in extracting algae oil on a continuous basis without cell sacrifice. This new ‘milking’ process will join the company’s Cascading Production™ technique to create a combined cycle promising new efficiencies.

 

Live Extraction™, or milking, is inherently efficient because it achieves continuous production of algae oil without destroying the algae cell. Therefore a single algae cell can produce more oil during its lifetime using lower amounts of energy. Unlike other approaches to live extraction, OriginOil’s process does not employ expensive consumables such as reverse osmosis membranes; furthermore, it is not limited to oil-bearing algae strains, such as Botryococcus braunii, that are known to excrete algae oil naturally.

 

Algae typically protect their oil behind a tough cell wall. The challenge of live extraction is to harvest the oil without causing permanent damage to the cell. This goal has been achieved in the laboratory at bench scale and is now being scaled up to OriginOil’s intermediate 200-gallon tank size. A diagram illustrates the process at www.originoil.com/technology/live-extraction.html.

 

The company recently filed for patent protection of the new Live Extraction process, its ninth patent application, entitled “Procedure for Extraction of Lipids from Algae without Cell Sacrifice.” “Live Extraction works by stimulating the algae cells through specific electrical modulations,” Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil’s CEO, said. “The challenge is how to keep the cells alive while continuously extracting the oil, and we have achieved this.”

 

“We are pleased with the results we are getting from conventional harvesting,” said Vikram Pattarkine, PhD, OriginOil’s CTO. “We expect the new Live Extraction process to coexist with our daily ‘destructive’ process to create an even more efficient combined cycle.”

 

Aside from any production gains, combining the two processes is desirable because algae cultures must be refreshed regularly to remove waste toxins. Cascading Production supports Live Extraction by removing a percentage of the culture every day, refreshing the environment and giving the algae culture space to grow.

 

Following Exxon Mobil’s recent announcement of a $600 million investment in San Diego- based Synthetic Genomics, Paul Reep, senior technical adviser and one of the inventors, noted: “Live lipid extraction is especially beneficial when used with algae that have been genetically engineered for faster growth rate or higher lipid yields. By integrating Live Extraction into our process, we are providing a technology platform for companies like Synthetic Genomics that are experimenting with genetic improvements.”

July 22 - Vehicle/Asset Tracking Forecast to Grow From $3.0B to $5.0B by 2011

 

NavStar Technologies, Inc. (OTC: NVSR), a multinational firm focused on developing and commercializing asset tracking and monitoring devices for vehicles and high value cargo with specific geographic focus in Latin America, has made available to shareholders and investors an independent research report on Vehicle/Asset tracking and monitoring.

 

According to the report, adoption of vehicle/asset tracking and monitoring is likely to be driven by factors such as:

 

* Increased recognition of tracking/monitoring benefits

* Worker productivity

* Administrative efficiency

* Reliable and affordable data communications

* Increase availability of wireless coverage

 

The report says that today only 10% of the 20M fleet vehicles in the US have Vehicle/Asset tracking devices and of the 12M fleet vehicles in Brazil and Mexico only 5% have Vehicle/Asset tracking devices.

 

N. Douglas Pritt, Chairman and CEO, confirmed that NavStar's business model for sales into Mexico, Latin and South America contemplates a very un-ambitious penetration of one-half of one percent of fleet vehicles.

 

NavStar also re-affirmed guidance regarding its expected financial performance over the next 5 years. The successful achievement of these financial objectives assumes the company's procurement of up to $2.0 million of funding in the 3rd quarter of this year and the completion of the services/software company.

 

N. Douglas Pritt, Chairman and CEO, said, "We continue to stay focused on getting POs from our distribution partners in Ecuador and Mexico. The Joint Venture for device and service sales into Japan is moving forward and next week we will announce agreements with distribution partners in Canada and the US that could have a significant impact on the financials as stated above."

ACCP News:

 

July 27 - Access Pharmaceuticals Announces Commercial Launch of MuGard™ in Norway by SpePharm

 

Early Market Assessment Studies Suggest Larger Market Potential

 

Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: ACCP) announced that its European partner, SpePharm, has commenced commercial launch of MuGard in Norway. This follows previous commercial launches in the UK, Germany, Italy and Greece. Under a license from Access Pharmaceuticals, SpePharm is responsible for manufacturing, regulatory approval and commercialization in the 27 countries of Europe. SpePharm plans to launch MuGard throughout Europe over the next 12 months, with direct launches planned in France, Spain and the Benelux countries, and launches through local distributors in Central and Eastern Europe. The license agreement includes royalties on net sales to Access.

 

Central to the MuGard commercial launch strategy is a coordinated effort to seek reimbursement from governmental agencies, placement in pharmacy formularies and an aggressive seeding strategy in leading cancer treatment centers and with leading clinicians. Aggressive sampling and education of patients and clinicians on early prophylactic use is proving important in reducing incidence, severity and duration of oral mucositis.

 

"The early feedback includes a high rate of enthusiasm and intention to continue use by practicing clinicians and patients, who have used MuGard," stated Jeffrey B. Davis, Access' President & CEO. "We believe this enhanced awareness of the benefits associated with use of MuGard as a preventative treatment is likely to result in solid marketing traction and market penetration in Europe as SpePharm continues market seeding studies in the major EU markets to continue to develop awareness within the medical community. Access continues to aggressively seek ways to maximize MuGard's potential for cancer patients and for its shareholders."

 

MuGard is a novel, ready-to-use mucoadhesive oral wound rinse for the management of oral mucositis, a debilitating side effect of many anticancer treatments. Up to 40% of all patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy develop moderate to severe mucositis, and almost all patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer and those undergoing stem cell transplantation develop mucositis. Updated clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and treatment of mucositis recommend the use of a preventive oral care regimen as part of routine supportive care along with a therapeutic oral care regimen if mucositis develops. The market for the treatment of oral mucositis, expanding to include all patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is estimated to be in excess of $5 billion world-wide.

 

MuGard forms a protective coating over the oral mucosa when swirled gently around the mouth. In a comparison of cancer patients receiving standard mucositis care with those patients receiving MuGard, the incidence and severity of mucositis was significantly lower in the MuGard treated group using a validated scale for the assessment of oral mucositis.

July 23 - AlphaRx Presents Positive Preclinical Data on Zysolin™ Inhalable Nanoparticles at Controlled Release Society Annual Meeting

 

AlphaRx, Inc. (OTCBB: ALRX) announced positive preclinical results which demonstrated that an inhaled tobramycin nanoparticle (Zysolin) formulation was a more effective treatment in animal models of acute Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia when compared to inhaled and injected conventional tobramycin solutions. The data was presented recently in an oral podium session at the 36th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the Controlled Release Society in Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

"These are very encouraging results, as they suggest that Zysolin employed in this route of administration may be more effective, providing significant advantages over conventional drug formulations," stated Joseph Schwarz, Ph.D., Chief Scientist of AlphaRx. "We believe that building on this data, additional research will lead us toward the development of a drug that targets and eradicates intracellular pathogens, which to date, have proven to be very difficult to treat clinically."

 

The study results demonstrate that Zysolin is significantly efficacious in acute pneumonia animal models induced by gram negative pathogens including P. aeruginosa. In these lethality-based studies, Zysolin consistently increased survival rate to 50% over a Tobramycin treatment group, wherein all untreated animals died within 24 hours after infection. P. aeruginosa is one of the most common and lethal pathogens responsible for ventilator-associated pneumonia in intubated patients, being directly responsible for death rates approaching 40%. This data suggests that the nanoparticulate formulation of Zysolin may utilize a unique mechanism of action differentiating it from conventional formulations, enhancing antimicrobial activity against gram negative pathogens. Zysolin has the potential to be a first-in-class anti-infective nanomedicine.

 

The Controlled Release Society (CRS) is an international organization consisting of 3,000 members from more than fifty countries. Two-thirds of CRS membership are from the pharmaceutical industry and one-third consist of academic and government members. The CRS is the premier multidisciplinary society dedicated to the promotion of the science, technology, and innovative delivery of bio-actives for the benefit of the society.

 

ABOUT ZYSOLIN™

 

Zysolin is a Tobramycin compound, encapsulated in AlphaRx's Nano Drug Delivery Platform, intended for the adjunctive treatment of Gram-negative pneumonia in intubated and mechanically-ventilated patients. Zysolin improves the intracellular activity of Tobramycin — in layman's term, increasing the drug concentration of Tobramycin inside human macrophages, thus improving its antibacterial activity against intracellular Klebsiella, Pseudomondas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus bacterial strains in pneumonia patients. The active ingredient in Zysolin, Tobramycin, has a long-standing and proven clinical treatment record. Delivered by inhalation, using proprietary nanotechnology developed by AlphaRx, the company believes Zysolin will have an attractive safety, tolerability and efficacy profile when compared to injectible Tobramycin.

July 23 - Hard to Treat Diseases, Inc. Reports on Ribavirin Research as Potential Treatment for MS

 

Hard to Treat Diseases, Inc. (OTC: HTDS) reports that researchers in its Slavica BioChem division have advised of some significant findings regarding its research into the use of Ribavirin in the treatment of Multiple sclerosis (MS).

 

The research team has been conducting experiments using Dark Agouti rats. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced in susceptible strains of animals provides the best available model for studying events in MS and a helpful tool in preclinical testing of various substances considered for treatment of the central nervous system (CNS) disease. CNS is the part of the nervous system that functions to coordinate the activity of all parts of the bodies of multicellular organisms.

 

In summary, these findings suggest that Ribavirin attenuates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (animal model of multiple sclerosis) by limiting cytokine-mediated immuno-inflammatory events that lead to CNS destruction.

 

The conducted experiments provide rationale for ribavirin to be considered as a candidate drug in the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in humans, such as multiple sclerosis. One of the benefits of working with established drugs such as ribavirin, which has been in use approximately twenty years, is that the significant experience and history of the drug make it easier to obtain approval for use in new applications, such as the research that has been conducted by Slavica BioChem.

 

Dr.Sanja Pekovic, Chief Project Scientist, Chief Strategy Officer Slavica BioChem said "We are proud to be part of the Hard to Treat Diseases and we are grateful for the funding our division has received. This is of great assistance for continuing of our experiments. We have already ordered some chemicals and antibodies with the funding received. This has afforded us an opportunity to straighten our equipment and to introduce a new methodological approaches and techniques (like PCR and RT-PCR) that would give added value to our research".

 

Mr. Terry Yuan CEO said, "There is great synergy between the two companies Slavica BioChem and Mellow Hope. Although Slavica currently has no revenues, their developmental and research contributions have the potential to transform into enormous and massive gains for HTDS and its shareholders. We expect to be releasing HTDS Q2 financials shortly, and some positive updates on the IP issue very shortly.

July 24 - CNN Pandemic Report on H1N1 Pushes Cannabis Science to Move Faster to Release Its Anti-Inflammatory Cannabis Drug as Similarities Between 2009 and Deadly 1918 Influenza Pandemic Cause Concern; FDA Approved Drugs Needed Now to Meet This Urgent Situation

 

Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS), an emerging pharmaceutical cannabis company, is making its anti-inflammatory formulation that targets influenza symptoms one of its top priority drugs to release, as the latest Swine flu numbers are rapidly increasing and have become quite alarming. Research indicates that the current H1N1 influenza virus has disturbing similarities to the 1918 pandemic, which killed tens of millions after World War I. Moreover, the young and otherwise healthy population that has been most susceptible to the H1N1 virus is a similar demographic to those most affected in the 1918 outbreak.

 

Swine flu, Bird Flu and all influenza strains that elicit excessive inflammatory immune response are targeted with Cannabis Science formulations. The company is developing its strategy for studying the effects of its cannabis lozenge on influenza deaths that are associated with an excessive inflammatory response. A hyper-inflammatory response appears to be the cause of the high mortality (63%) associated with the Avian flu (H5N1), and recent studies indicate a similar risk with the Swine flu (H1N1) as well. The World Health Organization (WHO) released the latest figures and said the virus was "unstoppable" and had become widespread enough to raise the global Swine flu alert to its highest level.

 

Dr. Robert Melamede, Ph.D., Cannabis Science Inc. President & CEO, observed, "Contemporary anti-viral medical technology is currently inadequate to meet the World's immediate challenges in dealing with the rapid mutations and infectivity of the numerous influenza viruses. We believe that cannabis extract-based medicines can reduce influenza deaths, and allow infected individuals to develop a strong natural immunity upon recovery."

 

Specifically, Cannabis Science Inc. believes that its whole-cannabis extract lozenge will inhibit the development of ARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome) associated with deaths from both the Avian and Swine influenza infections. Dr. Melamede believes there is enormous potential value for cannabinoids that naturally prevent excessive inflammatory immune responses. He stated, "Based upon recent discoveries regarding the role that endocannabinoid system plays in maintaining human health, we may have a unique solution to the looming threat posed by deadly influenza strains, which we believe, if implemented, could save millions of lives."

 

Previously, Dr. Melamede urged all cannabis consumers, "If you come down with the flu, cease smoking and switch to edibles. We believe that smoking marijuana when a person has influenza will lead to some unnecessary deaths, whereas eating it can prevent unnecessary deaths."
