LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Amex: BPA) today announced positive results of the use of BioSante’s calcium phosphate nanotechnology (CaP) as a potential wrinkle filler in cosmetic medicine. These results are based on work performed by Medical Aesthetics Technology Corporation (“MATC”) with whom BioSante has entered into an exclusive option and license agreement in the field of aesthetic medicine. Pre-clinical work to date indicates that BioSante’s CaP nanotechnology performs well as a filler and may be as long lasting and safe as other injectable fillers. Preliminary results indicate long lasting effects and no adverse events. Further pre-clinical tests are being conducted to confirm the positive results and determine whether BioSante’s CaP can extend the beneficial wrinkle-filling effects longer than those produced by the leading hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane made by Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. (NYSE:MRX), which typically last about six months after injection into the skin. Human clinical testing of CaP for this use is being planned.
