OrthoLogic announces Chrysalin® (TP508) Demonstrates Significant Benefit
in a Pre-Clinical Model of Acute Heart Disease

Tempe, AZ – August 7, 2008 ─ OrthoLogic Corp. (Nasdaq: OLGC) announced today that Chrysalin® (rusalatide acetate or TP508), administered following the onset of ischemia, has shown a statistically significant benefit in a recently completed pre-clinical study designed to assess cardioprotective effects in a model of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
 
Using a pathophysiologically relevant model of hypercholesterolemia and endothelial dysfunction, intravenous administration of Chrysalin produced a profound reduction in infarct size.  Importantly, the drug was administered after ischemic insult, which reflects the anticipated clinical circumstance of acute myocardial infarction.
 
“This is a landmark study,” said Randolph C. Steer, MD, Ph.D., President of OrthoLogic.  “There are an estimated 1.4 million heart attacks per year in the U.S. alone.  Our goal is to develop Chrysalin as a therapy to limit damage to the human heart in the clinical setting of acute myocardial infarction.  While studies have been performed incorporating models with normal cholesterol levels, to our knowledge no one has reported on the effects of putative cardioprotective drugs using this more challenging model of hypercholesterolemia with endothelial dysfunction.  This model is the closest parallel to the human clinical condition of acute cardiac distress, and we believe Chrysalin is the only drug candidate ever to report effectiveness.”
 
About the Study
 
The study, performed in the laboratory of Frank W. Sellke, MD, Chief, Cardiothoracic Surgical Research, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center / Harvard Medical School, demonstrated that Chrysalin extensively decreases myocardial injury when administered following a major ischemic insult.  Endpoints of the study included infarct size, coronary microvessel function, myocardial function and apoptotic markers.  The investigators intend to publish detailed results of the study in a peer-reviewed journal in coming months.
 
About OrthoLogic
 
OrthoLogic is a biotechnology company committed to developing a pipeline of novel therapeutic peptides aimed at helping patients with under-served medical conditions.  The Company is focused on development and commercialization of two product platforms: AZX100 and Chrysalin® (rusalatide acetate or TP508).
 
AZX100 is a novel synthetic 24-amino acid peptide, one of a new class of compounds in the field of smooth muscle relaxation and fibrosis.  Based on its demonstrated effects in pre-clinical models, AZX100 is currently being evaluated for commercially significant medical applications such as the treatment of pulmonary disease, the prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scarring and intimal hyperplasia.  OrthoLogic has an exclusive worldwide license to AZX100.
 
 
 

 

Chrysalin, the Company’s novel synthetic 23-amino acid peptide, has been proven in multiple pre-clinical and clinical models to stimulate cellular events leading to angiogenesis, revascularization, and repair of dermal and musculoskeletal tissues.  It is currently being evaluated in disorders that involve vascular endothelial dysfunction.  The Company owns exclusive worldwide rights to Chrysalin.
