Coulter Pharmaceutical Acquires Rights to Potent
Anti-Cancer Compounds

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BW HealthWire)--Sept. 21, 2000-- Coulter
Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLTR - news) today announced that it has acquired rights to
a class of ultra-potent anti-cancer compounds from Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., Ltd. of Japan. Coulter intends to enhance the
potency of these agents by incorporating them into Coulter's proprietary tumor activated prodrug (TAP) and tumor specific
targeting (TST) technologies. The resulting drug candidates will be designed to target the potent anti-cancer power of these
agents directly to tumor cells to maximize efficacy while minimizing side-effects to normal tissues.

The ultra-potent compounds, Duocarmycin B2 and KW-2189, have been shown to be 1,000 times more potent than standard
chemotherapy drugs and work by directly attacking the DNA of cancer cells, causing cell death. <snip>
