Lead Compounds
Protectan CBLB502

Protectan CBLB502 is a rationally designed recombinant derivative of the bacterial protein, flagellin, which binds and activates the mammalian TLR5 cell surface receptor. CBLI initially chose to explore flagellin as a potential radioprotectant since its signaling through TLR5 is known to activate the anti-apoptotic NF-kappaB pathway. Moreover, TLR5 is expressed on the endothelial cells of the small intestine lamina propria, the most radiosensitive part of the GI tract.

Extensive preclinical studies have demonstrated that CBLB502 is an effective and non-toxic anti-radiation treatment. The compound rescues both mice and non-human primates (Macaca mulatta) from lethal doses of total body gamma radiation, whether injected prior to, or after, radiation exposure. CBLB502 is non-toxic at therapeutic doses in both mice and monkeys. Importantly, CBLB502 protects cells of both the HP system and the GI tract. GI protection is a unique advantage of CBLB502 over any currently known radioprotectant or radiomitigator. CBLB502 is highly stable and is effective when administered through intramuscular injection, characteristics important for practical application as an emergency or military field treatment.

CBLB502 Development Status:CBLI is currently focused on expedited development of the drug for “non-medical” biodefense applications. The “Animal Efficacy“ rule developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 eliminates the requirement for Phase II and Phase III clinical trials for investigational drugs that address situations such as acute radiation injury, since it would be infeasible and/or unethical to conduct efficacy studies in humans. In such cases, drugs are considered for approval based upon efficacy studies in representative animal species and only extended Phase I safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and biomarker testing in healthy human volunteers. Development of CBLB502 under this rule has been supported in part by millions of dollars in contracts from the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as other federal agencies. Most animal efficacy studies, two human safety studies and cGMP manufacturing have been completed. CBLI has been granted fast track and orphan drug status for CBLB502 from the FDA and expects to complete necessary studies and submit a Biologic License Application (BLA) for FDA licensure. CBLI is also initiating clinical studies of CBLB502 as a radioprotectant for medical applications, such as Supportive Care in Cancer Treatment.

CBLB600 Series Protectans
In addition to CBLB502, CBLI initially investigated the radioprotective potential of a series (CBLB600 Series Protectans) of pharmacologically improved synthetic derivatives of mycoplasma lipopeptide. Mycoplasma lipopeptide is the natural agonist of heterodimeric TLR2/TLR6 receptors expressed on mammalian cells. Signaling through this receptor results in activation of the anti-apoptotic NF-kappaB pathway.

Preclinical investigation of CBLB600 Series compounds as radioprotectants has demonstrated that they protect mice and non-human primates from death due to HP acute radiation syndrome when administered either before or after radiation exposure. The compounds are non-toxic at therapeutic doses in mice, are highly stable, and can be effectively delivered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. A striking feature of CBLB600 Series Protectans is that, in the absence of irradiation, their administration stimulates proliferation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and induces their migration to the peripheral blood. Given the advanced nature of Protectan CBLB502’s development as an antidote for radiation exposure, CBLI has redirected the clinical development of the CBLB600 Series Protectans to other potential medical applications, such as Stem Cell Induction and Mobilization in the context of recovery from chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, or bone marrow transplant.

CBLI and HDY.
CBLI up 15% as I write.
HDY releases another NSAI report. Added to previous report one gets 6bbo of unrisked potential prospective resources and 750mmbo risked. This is very good. Report of 3d seismic bue in next month or two. Looking very good.

Hyperdynamics Announces Results of Independent Resource Evaluation of Deep Water Portion of Offshore Republic of Guinea Concession

Mar 14, 2011 07:52:00 (ET)

HOUSTON, March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Hyperdynamics Corporation (HDY, Trade ) today announced the results of a new resource evaluation conducted by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) on the deep water portion of the Company's oil and gas concession offshore Republic of Guinea.

NSAI, an independent engineering firm and provider of reserve audits and exploration resource assessments, conducted an assessment of the prospective recoverable oil resources in selected deep water leads that resulted in an aggregate of "Best Estimates" for all assessed leads of 3.7 billion barrels of potentially recoverable unrisked prospective oil resources. Applying the risk factors assigned by NSAI to the "Best Estimates" of each of the seven leads, the risked resources are approximately 400 million barrels of oil.

The NSAI evaluation focused on the deeper water area evaluated by the 2D survey conducted for the Company in late 2009 by Bergen Oilfield Services. This resource estimate is in addition to the estimate of an aggregate of 2.3 billion barrels of potentially recoverable unrisked prospective resources (approximately 350 million barrels of oil risked) on the area in shallower water that was evaluated by NSAI for the Company in September 2010. The data from a 3,635-square-kilometer 3D survey shot by PGS of the shallower water in late 2010 is currently being processed and interpreted by the Company.

"We find the additional review and assessment by NSAI encouraging and a confirmation of our analysis of the potential prospectivity of the concession," said Hyperdynamics' President and CEO Ray Leonard. "The significant prospective resources in the deep water will need to be taken into account in our evolving exploration program. We still plan to spud our first exploration well in the fourth quarter of 2011."

Hyperdynamics operates the concession with a 77 percent participating interest, with the remaining 23 percent held by Aberdeen-based Dana Petroleum plc.

The NSAI report is available in the Investor Relations section of Hyperdynamics' website, www.hyperdynamics.com .

Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum which are estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. The prospective resources included in the NSAI report are leads and indicate exploration opportunities and development potential in the event a petroleum discovery is made. They should not be construed as reserves or contingent resources.
