Isotechnika Signs Option Agreement for Topical Delivery Technology of ISA247

Edmonton, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - Isotechnika Inc. announced
today that the Company has signed an option agreement with Cellgate
Inc. of Redwood City, California. This agreement allows Isotechnika
the option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and
commercialize conjugates consisting of Cellgate's patented
transporter technology for the topical delivery of ISA247 in patients
suffering from mild to moderate psoriasis.

Under the terms of the agreement, Cellgate Inc. will perform
studies to evaluate the feasibility of using their technology to
topically deliver ISA247. These studies will commence over the next
few months and are expected to be completed over a one year period.
In exchange for this work, Isotechnika will pay Cellgate Inc. a total
of $500,000USD with $200,000USD paid upfront and the remainder at
predetermined time points. Upon successful completion of the studies,
Isotechnika has the option to license the technology from Cellgate
Inc. to further develop and commercialize conjugates for topical
delivery of ISA247.

"We are excited to be working with a company whose drug is showing
great promise in the systemic treatment of psoriasis," commented Dr.
Linda Sonntag, Cellgate Inc.'s Chairman. "It is our hope and
expectation that Cellgate's transporter technology will safely and
efficaciously expand ISA247's use to the 65% of patients with mild
psoriasis and supplement those with moderate to severe psoriasis via
topical administration."

"The opportunity to collaborate with Cellgate is very worthwhile,"
stated Dr. Randall Yatscoff, Isotechnika's President and Chief
Executive Officer. "If successful, this could allow us to expand our
drug's use beyond the moderate and severe forms of psoriasis
currently being tested with systemic ISA247 into the milder cases of
psoriasis. The development of a topically administered ISA247 product
would allow us to optimize the market potential for our drug by
making ISA247 available for mild to severe cases of psoriasis."
