ETBI set to become major player for diabetes management

Hello fellow investors / traders,
We found a new biotech play today that we think is ready to run - Eastgate Biotech (ETBI)
ETBI looks to have found strong support after pulling back over the past several weeks.
And priced at just $0.03 with a small market cap of around $2m, ETBI could be about to fly high.
What does ETBI do you ask?
ETBI is developing a way to
deliver insulin by way of a tablet.
Both
the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries are consistently
looking out for innovative products that manage sugar in diabetes
patience.
Glucora is the answer.
Glucora is a natural based formula in
self-emulsifying delivery system that provides support for healthy glucose metabolism.
Used for the development of novel
formulations and alternative dosage forms of existing biologically
active molecules, Glucora receives an NPN
(Natural Product Number 80057426 ) from the Natural and Non-Prescription
Health Products Directorate of Health Canada for its natural product
Glucora.
Data
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that 26 some
million people currently have diabetes -- with about 90% to 95% of those
cases being Type 2..
The
world's population is aging fast, technology is improving, and public
demand for more effective medications with fewer side effects is
growing.
Global Industry Analysts projected the
global market could be worth 10.1 billion dollars by 2017.
This is where ETBI comes in. Their R&D
strategy
and product analysis include the identification of biologically active
compounds having limited absorption due to low solubility.
EastGate Biotech's technology platform provides an
effective delivery system with increased bioavailability of incorporated compounds.
The
Company's approach increases solubility of hydrophobic compounds in a
proprietary self-emulsifying vehicle using a safe combination of known
and approved excipients.
To date, Eastgate's
sub-micron self-emulsifying delivery platform has been used for
improvement of dietary supplements as well as pharmaceutical products.
The Biotech sector is unique; however, Eastgate's technology extends beyond and places the Company into the Nutraceutical space. Eastgate's
products are patient friendly by design; they taste well and come in
different forms and they are also designed to allow for the body to
fully absorb the key pharmaceutical ingredients it needs.
Eastgate recently signed a licensing agreement with New Jersey based Purine Pharma, LLC ('Purine') to produce and distribute Eastgate's line of nutraceuticals under its own private label. Purine
supplies a line of over 200 over-the-counter and prescription based
cold, allergy, analgesic, topical and vitamin and supplement products,
opening up Eastgate's opportunities to market and distribute their
products in North America
and internationally.
EastGate Biotech Provides Update On Its Patent PortfolioSALT LAKE CITY and TORONTO, Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EastGate Biotech Corp. (ETBI), an emerging pharmaceutical company exploring drug delivery innovations for the development of novel formulations and alternative dosage forms of existing biologically active molecules provides update on its patent portfolio for its sub-micron self-nanoemulsifying platform technology. The company recently expanded its new pharmaceutical product development to include large molecules as active compounds that will address indications in diabetes, obesity and the overall metabolic syndrome. In order to protect our innovation and know-how the company had filed these initial provisional patents: US 61/947,678 Title: Pharmaceutical Composition for Transmucosal Delivery US 61/947,698 Title: Treatment of Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome These two provisional patents relate specifically to the company's intraoral insulin formulation. The company has outlined its sub-micron self-nanoemulsifying platform technology to develop alternative dosage forms for delivery of known biologically active molecules. These technological approaches have demonstrated robustness and resulted in diversification of drug delivery products. As a result, the company was able to develop an intraoral insulin tablet that is delivered to the mouth for intraoral insulin absorption (not GI-tract delivery). The company will continue to prepare additional patent application filings in order to bolster the intellectual property and know-how of the intraoral insulin tablet and its other dosage forms. The company already has patents for its intraoral Lorazepam Spray for acute seizures: PCT/C2014/000126 Title: Pharmaceutical Composition for Transmucosal Administration of Benzodiazepines PCT/CA2014/000127 Title: Pharmaceutical Composition For Enhanced Transmucosal Administration of Benzodiazepines The company plans on expanding the patent portfolio for this indication as the clinical and scale-up manufacturing development continues. "We
are pleased with the expansiveness of our patent portfolio for our
pharmaceutical products", says Anna Gluskin, CEO of EastGate Biotech
Corp. "The company's intent is to commercially-realize our unique
sub-micron self-nanoemusifying delivery system and the breadth of the
Intellectual Property will open the doors to licensing partners
interested in innovative drugs in the highly diverse marketplace",
continues Gluskin.

With 50
million diagnosed - and 50 million undiagnosed - diabetes sufferers in
North America alone gives an indication of the enormous market potential
for ETBI's new insulin tablet.
Revolutionary treatment options, like the one Eastgate Biotech Corp are developing could
become excellent in combination therapies that further enhance the
effectiveness of existing medications and could, ultimately, give
existing companies
producing type 2 diabetes medications a chance to extend the revenue
lifetime of their drug through combinations.
