GenSci Expects Topical Molgramostim Gel Approval in 2007



    GeneScience Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (GenSci) announced today
    that the company's new drug, Genfulin(TM), a topical gel indicated for
    the treatment of wound healing, is expected to get approval by China's
    SFDA in early 2007.

    The active ingredient in Genfulin(TM) is molgramostim (human
    granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, hGM-CSF (rDNA
    origin). GenSci has been the top biopharmaceutical manufacturer for
    Jintropin(TM) somatropin (human growth hormone, hGH), Scimax(TM)
    filgrastim (human granulocyte colony stimulating factor, G-CSF) and
    molgramostim in China.

    "With the unique innovative formulation, Genfulin(TM) marks the
    major step in GenSci's transition to manufacturing biological
    supergenerics," according to Dr. Lei Jin, CEO of GenSci.

    Based on the current indications of molgramostim, Genfulin(TM) gel
    was designed for new indications in wound healing with its novel and
    unique formulation. Most importantly, clinical trials of Genfulin(TM)
    have confirmed its efficacy in actively accelerating wound healing,
    increasing wound tearing-resistance, and reducing, even avoiding, scar
    proliferation in burn patients. Similar effects have also been
    observed in chronic ulcer patients, including those with diabetic foot
    ulcer. Overall, Genfulin(TM) gel has been shown to improve the quality
    of wound healing significantly with a good safety profile, according
    to results obtained from clinical trials.

    Genfulin(TM) gel is applied to wound areas directly in patients
    with burn, scald or ulcer to speed up the healing. GenSci holds a
    patent for Genfulin(TM), which was developed with GenSci's proprietary
    technology platform by scientists at GenSci.

    Genfulin, Jintropin, Scimax are trademarks of GenSci.
