RBCC Opens Talks to Help Develop Revolutionary Breakthrough in $60 Billion Drug Delivery Market

NOKOMIS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rainbow Coral Corp. (OTCBB: RBCC) biotech division Rainbow BioSciences is currently in talks to help develop and market a revolutionary, sustained-release drug delivery platform that could soon make local delivery of biologic agents and small molecules safer, more effective and more convenient than ever before.

The company is currently working on a potential joint venture agreement with a privately held drug delivery company developing the novel technology. The delivery platform is being engineered to solve the problems posed by systemic drug delivery, including oral and IV delivery. In many cases, systemically delivered drugs can't reach sufficient concentrations in target organs to be effective without damaging the liver, kidneys or heart. Often, systemic delivery also requires frequent, expensive injections.

The technology RBCC is currently reviewing has the potential to enable selective, site-specific delivery, allowing for lower drug concentrations and greatly reducing the risk of drug toxicity.

"Because it's a sustained-release delivery system, patients could potentially only need one injection every six months," said RBCC CEO Patrick Brown. "In addition to helping millions of patients struggling with chronic conditions, the technology also has the benefit of extending the patent life cycles of drugs, giving potential pharmaceutical partners a tremendous market advantage."

"RBCC hopes to conclude its due diligence work on the drug delivery company and sign a joint venture agreement to begin getting the new technology into doctors' hands in the next few weeks," Brown added.
