Biotech and Pharma Stock Investor News; Sunshine Biopharma (OTCBB: SBFM) and Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY); Targeting Aggressive Forms of Cancer

New York, New York - July 9, 2012 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a report on biotech companies targeting aggressive forms of cancer; Roche's (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) Herceptin® cancer drug and Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM) with its lead compound, Adva-27a.

Roche is the largest biotech company in the world and Sunshine Biopharma is a small microcap biopharma company. The two genes associated with aggressive forms of cancer are Her2 and Top2; Roche is targeting Her2-Positive patients and Sunshine Biopharma is targeting multidrug resistant Top2, which has no current effective drugs in the market for patients.
Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO of Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM) recently noted in an interview with Investorideas.com “Herceptin® is an excellent drug and is very effective in treating Her2-Positive breast cancer patients. However, only about 25% of the breast cancer patients are Her2-Positive. For the remaining 75%, Herceptin® does not work. This is where our Adva-27a comes in.”
Sunshine Biopharma reported on July 11, 2011 that Adva-27a had shown 16-fold more effectiveness against MCF-7/MDR Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer and announced on June 26 th results that Adva-27a is significantly more effective at killing Multidrug Resistant Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells than Etoposide, the current commonly used drug for this type of cancer.
Adva-27a was designed and synthesized de novo in 2006. Patents covering Adva-27a and derivatives have recently issued in the United States and Europe and are pending in other countries around the world. Sunshine Biopharma has announced collaborations with the State University of New York at Binghamton and McGill University's Jewish General Hospital in Montreal (Canada) focused on the development of Adva-27a through clinical trials.
Herceptin® was developed originally by Genentech, starting with research that dated back to the 1970's and Roche later signed a licensing agreement in 1998 for exclusive marketing rights for Herceptin outside of the United States. A few months later Herceptin received FDA approval for use in women with breast cancer that overexpresses the HER2 protein. Herceptin® was the first therapeutic antibody targeted to a specific (HER2) cancer-related molecular marker to receive FDA approval. Roche purchased Genentech in March 2009 for approximately $46.8 billion.
The most recent development on Herceptin® was June this year when Roche announced the FDA had approved Perjeta® (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin® and docetaxel chemotherapy for the treatment of people with Her2-positive metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
Herceptin® sales were over $5 billion in 2010 but Herceptin® begins to lose patent protection in world markets in 2014.

Biotech Investor Q&A with CFO of Sunshine Biopharma (OTCBB: SBFM) Discussing its Lead Compound - Adva-27a for Aggressive Forms of Cancer

New York, New York - July 2, 2012 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO of Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCBB: SBFM).Sunshine Biopharma is a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company’s lead compound, Adva-27a targets aggressive forms of cancer.

Mr. Sebaaly also shares insight on Roche's (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) Herceptin® cancer drug.
Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com staff
Can you give investors a brief background on your lead compound , Adva-27a, your proprietary technology behind it and how it targets aggressive forms of cancer?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
Adva-27a is a small molecule which we designed and synthesized de novo. Patents covering Adva-27a and derivatives have been issued in the United States and Europe and are still pending in other places around the world. Adva-27a was designed it to specifically target multidrug resistant (or aggressive) types of cancer.
Q: Investorideas.com staff
The Company announced findings last week from the cytotoxicity study- can you give us some brief hi-lights and the significance of the results?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
Last week we announced the results of our most recent studies in which we found that Adva-27a is remarkably capable of killing multidrug resistant small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is perhaps the most aggressive primary cancer. Sadly, the prognosis for a freshly diagnosed patient with small cell lung cancer is only a few months. As you know, we had announced back in July of last year that Adva-27a also kills multidrug resistant breast cancer cells. Similarly, the prognosis for multidrug resistant breast cancer patients is only a few months. We are delighted at the opportunity to offer both of these patient groups hope through our Adva-27a. As far we know, Adva-27a is the only drug anywhere in the world that can treat these patients.
Q: Investorideas.com staff
Can you discuss briefly the pharmacokinetics studies results announced in May?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
The pharmacokinetic parameters of Adva-27a which we announced in May were excellent. Adva-27a has all the properties of a good pharmaceutical. For example, it reaches a very high initial plasma concentration, which means it starts working fast, and has an intermediates plasma half-life implying that it does not linger in the blood stream to cause severe side-effects and other complications.
Q: Investorideas.com staff
Can you give investors insight into the type of cancer Herceptin®, a drug marketed by Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) (the world's largest biotech company) targets and where you see Sunshine Biopharma filling the gap?
A: Mr. Camille Sebaaly, CFO
Herceptin® is an excellent drug and is very effective in treating Her2-Positive breast cancer patients. However, only about 25% of the breast cancer patients are Her2-Positive. For the remaining 75%, Herceptin® does not work. This is where our Adva-27a comes in. It is interesting to note that Herceptin® sales are in excess of $5 billion a year.

Biotech Stock Alert; Aethlon Medical (AEMD) Note: Cancer Treatment Publication Authored by Aethlon Medical Researchers Now Available

SAN DIEGO - June 27, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: AEMD), today released the following note authored by its Chairman and CEO, Jim Joyce.

On June 12 th, I issued a detailed note referencing a landmark discovery that cancer-secreted exosomes seed the spread of metastasis in melanoma patients, and added that the Aethlon Hemopurifier®, which we have been advancing with promising results in the treatment of hepatitis c (HCV) infected individuals, has been validated in vitro to capture a variety of cancer-secreted exosomes, including those tested from melanoma patients.
Last week, we disclosed that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provided a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application No. 12/282152 entitled "Extracorporeal Removal of Microvesicular Particles," which provides us with broad rights to remove immune suppressive microvesicular particles, which include but are not limited to exosomes, from the circulation of treated patients.
Today, I am pleased to disclose that a paper authored by members of our Aethlon team, entitled, "Exosome Removal as a Therapeutic Adjuvant in Cancer" was published this morning in the Journal of Translational Medicine and is now accessible online at www.translational-medicine.com.
We believe the publication to be quite timely as cancer-secreted exosomes have recently emerged to become a vital therapeutic target as they play an instrumental role in promoting tumor progression by inducing programmed cell death of anti-cancer immune cells. As a result of inhibiting the immune response, exosomes increase the proliferation and spread of many forms of cancer. The particles also seed the spread of tumor metastasis, promote angiogenesis (essential for tumor survival and growth), increase tumor aggressiveness, and contribute to anti-cancer drug resistance.
About Aethlon Medical
The Aethlon Medical mission is to create innovative medical devices that address unmet medical needs in cancer, infectious disease, and other life-threatening conditions. Our Aethlon ADAPT™ System is a revenue-stage technology platform that provides the basis for a new class of therapeutics that target the selective removal of disease enabling particles from the entire circulatory system. The Aethlon ADAPT™ product pipeline includes the Aethlon Hemopurifier® to address infectious disease and cancer; HER2osome™ to target HER2+ breast cancer, and a medical device being developed under a contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that would reduce the incidence of sepsis in combat-injured soldiers and civilians.
