Posted at 31/7/2008 18:09 by trixter Does this look like an extension/developmenAIMHO etc. |
Posted at 28/9/2007 08:10 by trixter Well, could have been a lot worse. Placing provides a good foundation going forward and there are glimmers on the agrochemicals work. The increasing involvement of Mapstone has to be good news. I take it all back! There is still the tantalising link up with MDX (or not). I'd have liked to have bought more at the riduculous opening price, but cannot get any and the price is now up a bit - but still can't buy on line and it's 1.40 - 1.40 LOL! It would also be good if PIs could get the placing price occasionally.... Might drop as HB feed into the market, unless they already have a home for these? Otherwise at least the issued shares will be very tightly held. IMO, DYOR, etc. |
Posted at 26/9/2007 20:13 by trixter Opti - I hope your name isn't misplaced. This was the mention of the UK in Nufarm's results relased yesterday. "Both France and Spain also increased sales and profit, however the UK business suffered from the withdrawal of a product registration and delays in the introduction of planned new products. These impacts occurred very late in the financial year and had a substantial negative impact on the UK results." Okay, Nufarm UK must have a few things on the go and this may: (i) mean nothing for Micap; (ii) mean the Micap programme has not gone well; (iii) the MICAP programme delayed (which we knew - they wanted another 6 months) but new products will come; (iv) other programmes not gone well - they need MICAP; (v) something else entirely. All speculation, AIMO, DYOR, etc. but thought I would at least share this morsel - there's not many crumbs for us to go on. Could be nothing, could be bad, could be good. Let's hope they tell us somethings soon! The full release from Nufarm can be found on their website - see above. |
Posted at 26/9/2007 07:42 by trixter Perhaps they are waiting for Mr Mapstone to get back from a round the world cruise or he's too pre-occupied fixing Hill Station...! Let's hope MIC are not another HLL! |
Posted at 18/9/2007 10:45 by trixter On the iii MIC board today there is speculation about the possible link between MIC and MDX (BPRG)."Quite possible with the Meldex (Bioprogress) tie up. Its old (2004) but these things take time. I actually believe the results will show a marked improvement." Anyone know the latest on this? MDX release results on 25/9. Wonder if MIC will release the same day? The chances narrow with every day that passes... I hold MIC. IMO, DYOR etc... |
Posted at 06/4/2005 07:07 by pomp circumstance At last!!!!MICAP PLC 06 April 2005 6th April 2005 SKYEPHARMA NOMINATES PRODUCTS FURTHER TO EXERCISE OF OPTION AND TRADING UPDATE Micap plc (LSE: MIC), the technology licensing company specialising in the microencapsulation of active ingredients in yeast cells, today announces that SkyePharma plc (LSE: SKP, Nasdaq: SKYE) will incorporate Micap's yeast-based delivery system in its ongoing development of a further nine (9) pharmaceutical products. This announcement completes SkyePharma's current option agreement with Micap. In March 2004, SkyePharma exercised an option to acquire an exclusive licence to use Micap's patented microencapsulation technology. This allowed SkyePharma to use Micap's technology for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs in up to ten nominated pharmaceutical products ('Option Products') to be selected by SkyePharma and in August 2004 the first Option Product was nominated. SkyePharma has, since the first Option Product was nominated, been evaluating a number of other potential Option Products, using its experience of drug delivery technologies to identify those compounds most suitable for the Micap technology and with the greatest market opportunity and has now nominated the remaining nine (9) Option Products. Whilst the identity of these products cannot be disclosed for reasons of commercial confidentiality, they are all oral doseage forms and include a combination of proprietary and generic compounds. Under the terms of the March 2004 agreement, royalties will be payable by SkyePharma to Micap on sales made of, or licences granted on, any Option Product. SkyePharma will also make milestone payments on the successful completion of Phase II and Phase III clinical trials and also on the commercial launch of the first Option Product. Micap will now carry out an optimisation program on the encapsulated compounds and SkyePharma will undertake formulation and stability studies with a view to commencement of further pre-clinical trials. Micap continues to be in discussions with a number of partners regarding evaluation, development and licensing deals and hopes to be in a position to inform shareholders of further progress on these negotiations soon. These discussions have been progressing well, however, in some cases they have taken longer than expected to conclude and whilst costs remain in line with management's expectations, certain access and option fees anticipated to be received in the financial year to 31 March 2005 will now fall due in the new financial year. The Board is pleased with the significant progress in both the quality and number of Micap's partnerships and look forward to positive developments in the coming months. Michael Brennand, Chief Executive of Micap, said: 'The nomination by SkyePharma of their remaining Option Products is a significant milestone for Micap. Not only are we moving to the next stage of development with a world leading drug-delivery company, but the conclusion of the Option agreement with SkyePharma allows us to actively market our patented encapsulation system to other companies within the pharmaceutical market. We are particularly excited about our opportunity in relation to topical skin applications of products, where we have recently experienced highly positive results in laboratory trials.'

Notes to editors: About Micap Micap listed on AIM in August 2003 and is a UK technology licensing company specialising in the microencapsulation of active ingredients within yeast cells. For further details visit www.micap.co.uk Microencapsulation is a process whereby tiny droplets of liquid or particles of solid material are coated with a continuous film of polymeric material. Microcapsules have several benefits, including conversion of liquids to solids; separating reactive compounds; protecting substances against environmental factors; and improving the material handling properties. Micap's unique proprietary technology involves using killed yeast cells as natural capsules to protect the active ingredient. Yeast encapsulation can protect active ingredients against high temperatures, the effects of the sun, pressure and degradation through exposure to the air. The natural affinity of yeast cells for mucous membranes can also be exploited for targeted drug delivery.

Posted at 20/10/2004 07:42 by m.t.glass "...Discussions are currently underway with a major multinational..." MICAP PLC 20 October 2004 Micap plc 20th October 2004 Micap plc announces positive results of a recent study on use of Micap encapsulated fungicides to improve control of fungal damage to cereal crops. Micap plc ('Micap', LSE: MIC) today announces new business opportunities in the area of agrochemicals. Further to the recently-reported success in the evaluation of Micap technology for herbicides, promising new results have now been obtained in fungicide applications. Micap has funded laboratory trials at the University of Nottingham comparing the performance of a commercial fungicide formulation with a formulation based on Micap technology. The target for the study was the ear blight fungus Fusarium, which represents a significant commercial threat to cereal farmers. The outcome of the study showed that a standard Micap formulation performed well compared to a commercial product for stem based disease control. Additionally, in mature plants, when wheat ears were infected, the Micap formulation of the fungicide tebuconazole outperformed the commercial product, resulting in an increased grain yield. In addition, subsequent studies have demonstrated a substantial reduction in the levels of Fusarium mycotoxin present in the grain of Micap-treated plants. This is a likely reflection of the benefit of sustained release of the active ingredient. The use of the Micap encapsulation technology for the delivery of fungicides offers the potential to control mycotoxin contamination of grain to below 0.75ppm, the target level currently under review by the European Union. Michael Brennand, Chief Executive of Micap, said: 'We are delighted at these encouraging study results and look forward to the continued development of fungicidal applications.' Dr. Steve Rossall, senior lecturer in plant pathology at Nottingham University, commented: 'The results produced by the Micap technology in the Fusarium study were very promising, particularly since the formulation of the Micap product had not been optimised.' Discussions are currently underway with a major multinational to carry out field trials incorporating the Micap formulation of tebuconazole used in the study. Ongoing studies include the evaluation of Micap formulations of a number of azole fungicides against their commercial equivalents, whilst trials of seed dressing applications are currently at the planning stage.

The natural affinity of yeast cells for mucous membranes can also be exploited for targeted drug delivery. About Fusarium blight The global market for agrochemicals is around $30bn and is split into three main sectors: herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Fusarium is a stem-based pathogen of cereals which primarily affects the ears, causing reduced yield and importantly a contamination of the grain with mycotoxins, which are potentially harmful to people. Fusarium Ear Blight infection was estimated to cause a loss in excess of $2.5bn to farmers in the US between 1998-2000 (Ngenje et al, Oct 2001). Mycotoxins Mycotoxins are toxic chemicals produced by moulds growing on food commodities or animal feedstuffs. In order to protect public health, they are subject to government regulation in most countries. This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange |
Posted at 25/8/2004 07:37 by m.t.glass Beckaroo - more on that catheter grant:RNS Number:2801C MICAP PLC 25 August 2004 25 August 2004 Micap plc ("Micap" or "the Company") Micap to benefit from UK Government's Nanotechnology funding for research into antimicrobial technology for urinary catheters Micap, the UK technology licensing company specialising in the micro encapsulation of active ingredients within yeast cells, today announces that it has been awarded funding from the UK Government's Micro and Nanotechnology manufacturing initiative to carry out a development project investigating the prevention of microbial colonisation of polyurethane-based catheters. The total project value is approximately #260,000, and the new grants will cover 50% of this cost. The funding is for a two year project to develop the use of antimicrobial technology from Manchester Metropolitan University, polyurethane catheter technology from Biomer Technologies Ltd, and Micap PLC's yeast microencapsulation technology. The development will focus on nosocomial infections that represent an enormous financial burden on healthcare systems in terms of extended hospital stay and patient care. Many of these infections are catheter related and bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to most commonly used antibiotics and antiseptics. For example, each year more than 1 million patients in U.S. acute-care hospitals and extended-care facilities acquire such an infection (Maki & Tambyah, Emerging Infectious Diseases, Mar-Apr 2001). * This project will employ Micap's novel yeast based micro-encapsulation technology, which is able to protect volatile antimicrobials through high temperature polymer production and to control and target release of the antimicrobial agent during the catheter lifetime. * A combination of commercially available biocides and antibacterial natural plant oils such as tea tree oil will be used to overcome problems of bacterial resistance. Dr Gordon Nelson, Technical Director at Micap, said: "We are delighted to receive the award from the DTI. A successful outcome could help the NHS to save millions of pounds each year by reducing antibiotic use, in addition to the potential for freeing up hospital beds. The DTI support helps innovative companies, such as Micap and Biomer, to turn their ideas into reality, creating jobs and prosperity for the companies and the UK." - Ends - For further information: Micap plc Tel: +44 (0)1925 664200 Dr Gordon Nelson, Technical Director +44 (0)7966 341814 Michael Norris, Finance Director +44 (0)7966 341802 Media enquiries: Gavin Anderson Liz Morley/Janine Brewis Tel: +44 (0)20 7554 1400 Notes to editors: "Nosocomial" - a secondary disorder associated with being treated in a hospital but unrelated to the patient's primary condition. The DTI's Micro and Nanotechnology Manufacturing Initiative. On 2 July 2003, the UK Science and Innovation Minister, Lord Sainsbury, announced a cash injection of #90 million over the next six years to help industry harness the commercial opportunities offered by Micro and Nanotechnologies (MNT). This #90 million will be spent on collaborative R&D and a new network of Micro and Nanotechnology facilities, and forms the first step of developing and implementing a new Technology Strategy. This will help business build on the UK's excellent scientific track record in these small-scale sciences and win a share of the developing market. The new investment is also securing additional industry and regional spending anticipated to exceed #200 million to provide a boost to future advanced manufacturing in the UK. Within this Initiative, DTI has allocated #50 million for grants under an Applied Research Programme of collaborative R&D leading to significant economic impact for the UK. #40 million has also been allocated towards facilities development for a UK Micro and Nanotechnology (MNT) Network. More information relating to the MNT Network can be found at: www.microandnanotech Micap plc Micap plc is a technology development, production and licensing company that micro encapsulates active ingredients ('actives') in single celled organisms, in particular yeast.
