[QUOTE]Originally posted by AtHomeDad: [QB] more PR on R&D Updated:2006-03-03 07:41:53 DNAPrint Genomics Enters Into Sponsored Research Agreement With Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Market Wire SARASOTA, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/03/06 -- DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (OTC BB: DNAG) today announced that it has entered into a Research Sponsorship Agreement with the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for the potential development of Ritalin(TM)-like compounds as possible medications for drug abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. The research will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Mark Froimowitz, a researcher at the Boston-based College, who recently licensed the compounds to DNAPrint Genomics. The compounds are analogs of Ritalin, a well-known drug used for treatment of ADHD and designed specifically to take effect slowly but last longer, thus reducing their potential for abuse and a patient's required daily dosage. DNAPrint Chairman and Chief Medical Officer Hector J. Gomez, M.D., Ph.D., who also heads the clinical development for the Company's newly formed subsidiary, DNAPrint Pharmaceuticals, Inc., said his staff and Dr. Froimowitz will be working together closely to develop "theranostic" test/drug combinations based on the compounds designed to ensure that patients receive the appropriate medicine and proper dosage based on a patient's genetic constitution. Theranostic test/drug combinations are designed to reduce efficacy and side effects problems associated with conventional drug treatments. "These Ritalin-like compounds present an ideal opportunity for our goal to develop products for personalized medicine," Dr. Gomez stated. "DNAPrint's capabilities in genomics and the College's expertise in pharmaceuticals represent a powerful synergy in the field of theranostic drug research." According to Dr. Froimowitz, Research Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, "These compounds have a number of desirable properties and possible therapeutic indications. The possibility of linking their clinical use to patient genomics represents the future of drug development." "Many researchers believe that a strong link exists among drug addiction, ADHD and depression. There is a tremendous variation, however, across patient populations, with respect to drug response for the therapies used to treat these disorders," said Richard Gabriel, Chief Executive Officer and President of DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. "In fact, the National Institute of Drug Abuse has selected one of Dr. Froimowitz's compounds for their pre-clinical drug addiction development program. We will be supplying purified compounds to NIDA for further development." [/QB][/QUOTE]
