China Biopharma Expands Product Line to Treat Autoimmune Diseases

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb 02, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- China Biopharma, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CBPC) announced today that it has reached an agreement of understanding with a biopharmaceutical firm in China to expand its product line from human vaccines to intravenous therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. China Biopharma plans to market Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) on the international market beginning in the second quarter of 2007. IVIG is a solution containing blood components, specifically immunoglobulins that help regulate the immune system. IVIG is used to treat a host of life-threatening and serious autoimmune diseases, including Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), a form of nerve disease or peripheral neuropathy. IVIG and its components represent a multi-billion dollar market.
Peter Wang, CEO of China Biopharma, Inc., states, "We will continue to develop and distribute vaccines in China, while we diversify our product line into biological treatments that target several of today's most prevalent diseases. IVIG has emerged as an important therapy for various neurological diseases and is also a life-saving treatment for patients with autoimmune diseases. Due to its limited supply outside the U.S., availability of IVIG is still inadequate in a number of countries. As a result, the price for IVIG has increased dramatically in the last few years, creating a very promising new market opportunity for China Biopharma."
