"This method of toxicological evaluation, requires that the therapeutic agent Cytoreg®, is applied to the skin of an in vivo laboratory model to determine the likely effect of this ionic therapy on the corresponding tissue. Based on dose exposures of Cytoreg® at three dilutions; each animal received a 100%, 4% or 2% dilution in physiological saline. Three intact skin test sites per animal/concentration were evaluated for 72 hours, as established by the scientific method required by the US FDA pharmaceutical regulator for this type of testing. The ionic therapeutic agent, Cyotreg®, was then shown to be non-corrosive and was preliminarily assigned the U.S. EPA classification category IV (non-irritating to mildly irritating). (Non-irritating to mildly irritating) for all concentrations tested on the skin of the in vivo model," said William "Bill" Bauta, PhD consultant for Cytorex Biosciences Inc.

"We believe that we have taken a very important dermal safety step because of the toxicological safety data achieved. Also, because of the broad potential therapeutic uses of our technology in dermal pathologies of cancer, autoimmune diseases, diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms and for its hemostasis power, we had considered performing this important dermal toxicological evaluation and therefore it was included in the development and research plan of Cytorex Biosciences Inc. With this result, we expect a very positive impact on the topical treatment of diabetic foot pathology, where we seek to have an impact on the reduction of the number of amputations", complemented William Jimenez, president of the company's board of directors.
