Monday , October 15, 2007 08:21ET
HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Biopharma, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CBPC) announced today that its partner, Soonfast Pharmaceutical Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Soonfast") has successfully completed its trial production of a new antiviral product. This all-natural medicine has been approved in China for external use to treat human papillomavirus ("HPV") and herpes simplex virus ("HSV"). Tests have shown an inhibitory effect on the growth of HPV and HSV, and the medicine can reduce the infection from HPV and HSV up to 90% only in 2-3 days. Experiments have also proved that the herbal can kill all of the HPV types 6/11/16/18 and 33. The sample product is available for distributors now and the commercial product will be available next month.
HPV infection is common across all races and socio-economic groups and is prevalent throughout the world in sexually active persons. HPVs are the most common sexually transmitted viral agents in the United States, infecting up to 20% of people aged 15 to 49. In the last 30 years, the incidence of HPV infection has increased dramatically. Despite the prevalence of HPV, no available drug therapy effectively eliminates HPV infection and replication or prevents HPV-associated malignant progression.
According to the agreement reached with Soonfast in June this year, China Biopharma has the right to distribute this new all-natural antiviral medicine in overseas market. The successful trial production has now quickened some approval process for China Biopharma to launch commercial sales on overseas market including Europe and the United States. The company and Soonfast also plan to jointly conduct studies on its extracts in both China and USA so as to obtain approval necessary for selling this medicine as an over-the-counter drug. The company believes this new medicine would bring in significant revenue and profit in the near future once it is successfully introduced into the market.

Influenza (Flu) - The Chinese Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDCs) recommends immunizing against influenza as soon as the vaccine becomes available. China Biopharma’s flu vaccine, approved by the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for distribution, is among the first to be delivered and made available to the general public in China for the 2006-2007 Flu Season. Through its manufacturing joint venture partner, Zhejiang Tianyuan Biopharma Co., the Company began shipping its first batch of flu vaccines to local CDCs, the Xi’an Social Security Pension Fund Program, insurance companies and hospitals in August 2006. Management expects to deliver a total of three million doses by year’s end.
Epidemic Hemorrhagic Fever (EHF) – EHF is carried by rodents in Asia and causes devastating lung infections in humans. CBPC owns over 90% market share in China against this disease, and estimates it will sell one million doses of its EHF vaccine in 2006.
Epidemic Japanese Encephalitis (EJE) – EJE, the "Plague of the Orient," is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. An inflammation of the brain, EJE exists in epidemic proportions in temperate and northern tropical regions. Rates of EJE are steady and even increasing in the areas of South and Southeast Asia. (source: Public Health Agency of Canada). China Biopharma’s EJE vaccine was approved by the SFDA in December 2005 and will be available in China in early 2007.
Developing Products
Group A ,C, Y, W135 Meningococcal Polysaccharide – CPBC has successfully completed Phase III clinical trials and pending SFDA approval, the vaccine will be commercialized in early 2008.
Avian (“Bird Flu”) H5N1 Virus – By February 2004, the avian or “bird” flu spread across 10 countries in Asia and caused dozens of deaths in Thailand and Vietnam. In China, the bird flu affected more than half of all provinces and territories. CBPC stands to be a major player in creating and mass-producing a vaccine for a potential pandemic bird flu outbreak. In June 2006, China Biopharma received a copy of the H5N1 virus (a deadly virus transmitted from bird to human), and has begun animal testing on a vaccine.
Allergy vaccine – According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 1 in 4 people suffer from an allergy worldwide. In fact, the allergy treatment and relief medicine category is growing over 10% per annum and is estimated to be an $18 billion global market. China Biopharma is developing an allergy vaccine in strategic alliance with a European allergy vaccine producer (who markets a similar vaccine in Europe) to reach the Chinese allergy market. China Biopharma will perform clinical studies, apply for SFDA registration, and retain the exclusive copyrights to market the vaccine throughout China. http://www.chinabiopharma.com.cn/index_4_1.asp
