Post# of 420
Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX, LEXXW), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, has granted a new global, exclusive license to SulfoSyn Limited; the license is for the exclusive global use of all nonpharmaceutical applications of Lexaria’s proprietary DehydraTECH-sulforaphane, including the right to authorize sublicenses. According to the announcement, Lexaria has already received an up-front cash payment, and the agreement outlines minimumongoing payments, royalties and manufacturing revenues. Nonpharmaceutical uses could include supplements, additives, foods, dietary ingredients and more. In addition to the license agreement, the two companies have a broader agreement that, for at least the next two years, Lexaria will conduct certain DehydraTECH-related manufacturing operations at its U.S. partner facility on behalf of SulfoSyn, which should also result in an increase in revenue to Lexaria. The announcement noted that the two companies started exploring the applicability of DehydraTECH upon sulforaphane late last year; results of that indicate that DehydraTECH confers certain superior qualities upon the sulforaphane molecule that are of commercial interest.
