Paracelsian Offers Additional Information From
Conference Call

Broad Interest In Company's Scientific Progress

ITHACA, N.Y., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Paracelsian Inc recently held a conference call which focused on the scientific breakthroughs of the Company. John Babish, V.P. and Chief Science Officer, highlighted the discovery and development of therapeutic compounds for the treatment of the HIV-1 virus. The following are a few excerpts from the call:
"Paracelsian found that our PN355 (AndroVir(TM)) actively prevents the
destruction of the immune system by the HIV virus as well as HIV
replication. This was further confirmation of our work on AndroVir(TM) in HIV in the laboratory and gave us additional excitement about our current clinical trials that are ongoing in Seattle.

"We are excited about the screening results using the NIH model of HIV
cell killing and our ability to identify compounds that inhibit the
destruction of the immune system by the virus. "Because our Traditional Chinese Medicine extracts are natural products, we can put these compounds into the market through the Dietary

Supplement Health Education Act of 1994 and move a product into clinical trials within 9 to 12 months of discovery. "We have identified a series of compounds derived from natural products through our TCM approach and chemically through our synthetic chemistry approach that actively inhibit HIV cell killing of the immune
system. With these new discoveries, the Company believes that
AndroVir(TM) has the potential of becoming a foundation for a
combinational therapeutic approach to HIV."
