(BSNS WIRE) Steroidogenesis Inhibitors Receives Final Payment for Licens
Steroidogenesis Inhibitors Receives Final Payment for Licensing ANTICORT to
Altachem-Pharma, Canada


Health Editors/Medical Writers & Columnists

LAS VEGAS--(BW HealthWire)--April 15, 1999--

Altachem to Commence Clinical Study With ANTICORT(TM)

Steroidogenesis Inhibitors International (OTCBB:STGI) today
announced that it has received $50,000 from Altachem-Pharma, (Alberta
Stock Exchange: AAF) representing the last installment on the $300,000
licensing fees for ANTICORT(TM) in Canada.
Altachem-Pharma announced they have received approval from the
Health Protection Bureau (HPB), the Canadian equivalent of the U.S.
FDA, and will begin a Phase 1 clinical study of ANTICORT in HIV
positive patients receiving anti-HIV treatment. The study in Canada is
the third testing of Anticort following clinical studies in the U.S.
and Romania in HIV positive children.
STGI is a pharmaceutical R&D Corporation, engaged in the
development of anticortisol drugs to be used in diseases/conditions
associated with elevated levels of the immunosuppressive hormone
cortisol. STGI's flagship anticortisol drug, ANTICORT, has been
approved by the FDA to be clinically tested in an HIV population - a
condition often associated with "high cortisol" that is apparently
playing a major role in the destruction of the immune system as
encountered in HIV+ and AIDS.

of the Securities Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the

correct. This is neither an offer to buy or sell a security. For
