Regen BioPharma Sees Opportunities Resulting From AACR Conference Attendance And Presentation

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - April 27, 2015) - Spokespersons for Regen BioPharma, Inc. (OTCBB: RGBP) (OTC PINK: RGBP) commented today regarding significant milestones presented by the Company at the 2015 American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting (AACR) as well as potential partnering opportunities that resulted from its presence at the event

Dr. Christine Ichim, Director of Molecular Therapeutics at Regen BioPharma Inc. stated, "Among the milestones presented by Regen BioPharma at the AACR Conference include assay development and hit identification as they pertain to the cancer stem cell target NR2F6. Hit identification is a process where a molecule is found to bind to a target. Drug discovery is akin to searching for a key to fit a lock. We have identified a drug shape that is able to bind to and inhibit the function of NR2F6. These are significant milestones because it narrows the number of possible small molecule shapes from an infinite number to a finite number. We have essentially found a template (which needs to be refined) to make the small molecule chemical more potent, less toxic and more drug-like, which will allow us to create a therapy for cancer treatment."

A Regen spokesperson stated the Company's next step is to refine the hit to develop a lead compound that can be tested pre-clinically for potential use in future clinical trials.

Regen BioPharma's Chairman & CEO David Koos noted "There was significant of interest paid to Regen's presentation at the AACR conference. I see abundant possible collaborations including co-development of related research areas. The Company received substantial interest with regards to both near term and longer term alliances in the areas of cancer stem cell and small molecule drug development. Gene Silencing was also an area receiving strong interest among researchers. Additionally, there are numerous in-licensing arrangements that could benefit Regen in its delivery systems for siRNA."
