biOasis European Patent Granted for The Use of Transcend for the Delivery of Enzymes to Treat Lysosomal Storage Disease in The Brain

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - April 21, 2015) - BIOASIS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (TSX VENTURE:BTI)(OTCQX:BIOAF), a pioneering biopharmaceutical company focused on overcoming the limitations of therapeutic drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), announces that the European Patent for the use of Transcend to deliver enzymes to treat Lysosomal Storage Disease to the brain has now been fully issued and has cleared the "Notice of Opposition" period.

This completes the company's goal to obtain patent protection for jurisdictions around the globe where patent protection is deemed to be necessary. The completion of the patenting process is intended to increase the overall value of the company's core technology as it relates to the interest of third parties for licensing and market protection purposes.

CEO Rob Hutchison added, "As biOasis moves aggressively forward into its commercialization phase, the issuance and clearance of patents such as this one, significantly improves the value proposition we offer to potential licensors of our proprietary Transcend Platform. Without broad patent protection, the core value of our technology would be at risk. We remain very focused and diligent to ensure our assets are well protected and this granting of this patent drives right to this point."

About Transcend

Transcend is biOasis' proprietary platform for the delivery of therapeutics across the BBB to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of metastatic brain cancers as well as neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases. The BBB represents the single greatest challenge in treating neurological disorders. The ability to effectively and safely breech the BBB offers the opportunity for biOasis to deliver therapeutics into the brain. Transcend was originally based on MTf (melanotransferrin or P97) where the full-length protein was conjugated to therapeutic molecules. Recently biOasis identified a family of peptides within MTf that facilitates receptor mediated transcytosis. The lead peptide carrier was used in the work reported above.
