Wall Street News Alert: Investment Alert: ELHI! February 14, 2008
NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is an Investment Opinion Being Issued by Wall Street Capital Funding.
WESTON, FL--(Marketwire - February 14, 2008) - Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this
morning are: Edgeline Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ELHI), 3M (NYSE: MMM),
Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ: DNDN) and Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX).
Edgeline Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ELHI), which recently announced a name
change to Oncolin Therapeutics Inc., has issued more important news that
should have investors attention this morning. Yesterday after the markets
closed, the company issued a press release announcing that one of its
research programs for which it has rights was awarded a peer reviewed
National Institute Of Health Grant for $179,000 to support research on
thermally targeted delivery of Doxorubicin.
This is great news for the company and its investors! There is a great need
to develop drugs that target tumors to provide increased efficacy and
reduced toxicity. According to the press release, preliminary results
reported in this grant demonstrated that specific polypeptide doxorubicin
conjugates showed increased cytoxicity and decreased toxicity when used in
conjunction with hyperthermia. This research will be expanded to other
drugs and animal testing to choose the best candidate to bring into
clinical development.
Specific targeting of the proposed chemotherapeutic polypeptide carriers to
solid tumors by local hyperthermia would increase specificity and efficacy
of treatment and reduce the toxicity to normal tissues. This technology
therefore represents a potential platform useful for a variety of
chemotherapeutic agents.
"We are very happy that this program has received funding from such a
prestigious organization as the NIH to help progress this potential
platform technology," commented Dr. Donald Picker, COO of Edgeline
Holdings, Inc.
Dr. Donald Picker first came to the attention of Wall Street News Alert on
January 8, 2008, when it was announced in a company press release, that he
had joined Intertech Bio. This was a great move for the company. Dr. Picker
and his group were responsible for the development of Carboplatin, one of
the world's leading cancer drugs currently in use with annual sales of over
$500 million.
Wall Street News Alert is continuing to alert investors to monitor the
progress of the company! Edgeline has recently announced it has obtained an
exclusive option agreement with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center which provides the Company the right to negotiate a license
for five technologies relating to the treatment of various cancers over a
nine month period.
In addition, Oncolin has recently announced a Joint Development Agreement
with Houston Pharmaceuticals to assist the Company in obtaining a license
for certain patents, several of which are from the University of
Mississippi and the University of Louisiana. Houston Pharmaceutical will
continue collaborations with both universities and assist in securing
grants on behalf of the company.
Prior to the latest press release, the stock closed Wednesday at Twenty
Seven cents a share.
