MONTREAL, QC and WILMINGTON, DE, Dec. 5 /CNW Telbec/ - Millenia Hope
Biopharma a related company to Millenia Hope Inc. (FRANKFURT: MLF -
NASDAQ: OCTBB: MLHP) announced today that it has made a major breakthrough in
the cell culture production of Feverfew, a plant whose extracts are used in
the cosmetic industry. Feverfew (Tanatecum parthenium) extracts have long been
used in natural medicine and the cosmetic industry. However, because of
allergic reactions to parthenolide, a major component of the extract, the
cosmetic industry has long sought Feverfew extracts that are parthenolide
free. Using advanced plant cell culture technologies, Millenia Hope Biopharma
has developed a process that produces parthenolide-free extracts. This will
make it an ideal ingredient for creams and lotions for the cosmetic industry
that focuses on natural plant based ingredients with useful pharmacological
properties.
