Symbollon Pharmaceuticals

Symbollon is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary drugs based on its I2 technology. I2 is the chemical symbol for molecular iodine. Molecular iodine is the active species of iodine, a proven fast acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial and therapeutic. Formed in 1986, Symbollon completed its initial public offering in December 1993. Since that time we have pursued product applications for our technology in two distinct areas; women’s healthcare and antimicrobial applications. In female health, Symbollon has developed a proprietary oral tablet based on our technology that generates I2 in situ (the stomach of the patient). We refer to this drug as IoGen. In 2000, Symbollon completed Phase I and II clinical trials evaluating IoGen as a potential treatment for fibrocystic breast disease. Phase III pivotal trials will be conducted in 2005. We believe that IoGen may also be useful for the treatment and prevention of other types of excess cell growth in female reproductive tissue, such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts and pre-menopausal breast cancer. Our efforts in infection control have resulted in one commercial product to date. Launched in 1995, IodoZyme is a bovine teat sanitizer sold through our marketing partner, West Agro, Inc. In the future, Symbollon intends to investigate the potential effectiveness of its technology in such antimicrobial applications as dermatology, oral care, urinary tract infection and wound care.
