In the second quarter of 1998, Antex initiated a drug development program with the goal to develop broad-spectrum and specific-agent antibiotics. The strategy is to leverage the Company's platform technologies and vaccine research by identifying novel targets, discovering new chemical entities, and enhancing currently marketed antibiotics.

Novel targets have been identified and validated, and screening assays are being developed and validated. Four series of new chemical entities have been discovered. Patent and literature searches indicate these compounds are novel and proprietary. Based on the substitutions that can be made on the four core structures, Antex has a position on over 10 million new proprietary compounds. Virtual screening has been used to identify the initial 200 new chemical entities that will be synthesized and screened.
