Demand for medicines to treat psychiatric and neurological disorders is huge and growing. Worldwide spending for these therapies exceeded $46 billion in 2001. The Central Nervous System (CNS) medication market is the fastest growing of any major therapeutic area. Vela Pharmaceuticals Inc. (VelaPharm) "rediscovers" and develops CNS medicines. By starting with molecules that have already been tested in humans, VelaPharm minimizes the risks of traditional drug discovery and development. Partnering with VelaPharm is an attractive alternative for pharmaceutical companies with assets on the backburner. Taking full or partial ownership of such assets, the VelaPharm team puts it all into safe, efficient and fast development. The Company's ability to design and run optimal Phase II CNS programs is second to none. VelaPharm already has several promising assets in clinical development. VelaPharm is led by experienced CNS pharmaceutical and CRO executives. VelaPharm's President and CEO is Kevin L. Keim, Ph.D., the former president of Quintiles' CNS Therapeutics group. He has recruited top performers from such organizations as Quintiles, Wyeth-Ayerst, Roche, Merck & Co., McKinsey & Company, and the National Institute of Mental Health.

Incorporated in 1999, Zengen, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing innovative products to treat and prevent infection and inflammation through application of its proprietary peptide technologies. Zengen's novel molecules were developed from more than 25 years of original research in the US, Europe and Asia on peptide molecules derived from alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (alpha-MSH). A naturally occurring molecule, alpha-MSH modulates inflammatory and immune responses. James Lipton, Ph.D., Zengen's chief scientific officer, chairman of the scientific advisory board and director, and his collaborators first demonstrated that alpha-MSH possesses anti-inflammatory properties and uncovered the specific activity of the carboxy-terminal tripeptide region (C-terminal peptide) of the alpha-MSH peptide. These discoveries led to the development of Zengen's proprietary peptide molecules, including CZEN 002, a synthetic octapeptide. There is abundant evidence of the anti-inflammatory and anti-infective activity of these novel molecules from both in vivo and in vitro research. Zengen is currently conducting phase I/II clinical trials with CZEN 002 in vaginitis.
