Sinobiopharma Receives Trademark Approval and Authentication From Chinese Government For Its 'Tai' Drug Series

NANTONG CITY, China, June 18  /PRNewswire/ -- Sinobiopharma, Inc. ("Sinobiopharma" or, the "Company") (OTC:SNBP) (BULLETIN BOARD: SNBP)  is pleased to announce today that it has received approval and authentication from the Trademark Bureau of China for its pre-surgical skeletal muscle relaxant Cisatracurium Besylate, marketed as Kutai, and its newly launched formulation of the anti-hypertension drug Perindopril, marketed as Yitai.

Kutai has gained rapid market acceptance and is building strong brand loyalty in China. Within 14 months of its launch there in late 2006, it has captured 80 percent of the Chinese market and is now in use in more than 700 hospitals across the country.

As the first Chinese produced Perindopril, Sinobiopharma's Yitai is a first-to-market (FTM) drug with significant competitive advantages. They include a higher price point that the Chinese government sets for FTM drugs and exclusivity for hospital contracts. Sinobiopharma's technology enables the production of a Perindopril formulation with lower cost active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), a high quality tablet and greater efficacy and reduced side effects compared to earlier versions of the drug. The technology also affords the potential for developing the world's first capsule formulation, which would make for easier swallowing.

The English name for the "Tai" trademark was taken from the Mandarin for "healthy". The name reflects Sinobiopharma's focus on health through the development of innovative, affordable therapies.
