News: DynaGen To License NicErase Nasal Spray To Nastech (DJ)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- DynaGen Inc. (DYGN) licensed worldwide, exclusive
rights to develop NicErase-NS lobeline sulfate nasal delivery formulation to Nastech Pharmaceutical Co. (NSTK).

In a press release, DynaGen said Nastech will be responsible for the
development of nasal formulations, preclinical animal studies and limited human studies and will bear all the development costs.

DynaGen and Nastech will cooperate in licensing the product to a third party, and will share equally in licensing fees and in royalties.

DynaGen said NicErase-SL reduces symptoms of tobacco withdrawal. The
company is now evaluating its effectiveness as an aid in smoking cessation in a 750 subject multi-center pivotal Phase III trial.

Lobeline exhibits many of the pharmacological effects of nicotine, although it is considered to be non-habit forming.
