ENDOREX CORPORATION David G. Franckowiak Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) EXHIBIT 99.1 Endorex Terminates Contractual Rights and Eliminates Future Stock Dividends CHICAGO--(BW HealthWire)--March 20, 2000--Endorex Corporation (AMEX:DOR) announced that certain stock dividend and antidilution rights provided to investors in the Company's October 1997 Private Placement will terminate effective March 20, 2000. Endorex is able to terminate these rights based upon its recent stock price performance, which has triggered termination provisions contained in the 1997 private placement agreement. The dividend was established to provide private placement shareholders with a minimum return in the event that share performance failed to reach a targeted level of $4.63 per share (average closing price for thirty trading days) which is equal to a 100 percent return on the per share price of the private placement. This level was recently exceeded. The rights to be terminated include a semi-annual five percent stock dividend, the next distribution of which would have been to private placement shareholders of record on April 16, 2000. Terminating these rights eliminates future stock dividends of approximately 840,000 shares per year for the next two and one-half years. On a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated December 23, 1999, Endorex registered approximately 2.2 million shares for all remaining potential future dividends of which 420,000 shares were issued in November 1999. Due to the termination of the dividend rights, none of the shares remaining under this registration statement will be issued. Endorex is a drug delivery company focused on oral and mucosal delivery of drugs and vaccines. The Company's goal is to convert injectable-based therapies into oral formulations - the preferred patient form for receiving therapy. In addition to proprietary work on delivery of major protein and/or peptide based drugs, Endorex has two joint ventures with Elan Corporation, plc. The first, InnoVaccines Corporation, is developing and commercializing technology for oral/mucosal delivery of vaccines; the second joint venture is developing and commercializing Elan's MEDIPAD(R) Drug Delivery System for iron chelators used to treat iron overload disorders. Additional information is available on the Endorex web site at www.endorex.com.

In particular, we cannot assure you that we will become profitable, that any of the joint ventures will successfully develop products or become profitable, that we will realize any value from our oncology business or that the Company will be able to carry out its current plans for 2000.
