SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apricus Biosciences (“Apricus Bio”) (Nasdaq: APRI), backed by a revenue generating CRO business and seeking to leverage its multi-route NexACT® drug delivery technology and internal pipeline through out-licensing partnerships, today announced that results from a United States Pharmacopeia Preservative Efficacy Test (USP PET) qualified NexACT as an anti-microbial preservative. The results show that NexACT was effective in killing more than 23 strains of bacteria, fungus and mold, well beyond the requirements for passing the USP PET. These results are supported by the Company’s prior, long-term stability and microbiology data, generated from its clinical batches of Vitaros® (Apricus Bio’s topical treatment for erectile dysfunction).
