About Solbec
Solbec Pharmaceuticals Ltd identifies naturally-occurring compounds with potential in the development
of better therapies for debilitating conditions and life-threatening diseases. The company is
currently progressing its key project, Coramsine®, through Phase I/IIA clinical trials for the
treatment of advanced solid tumours; and as a topical treatment for psoriasis. The Australian Phase II
cancer trials will be partly funded by a $2.26M Australian Government Commercial Ready grant awarded
to Solbec in December 2005. The two proprietary ingredients of Coramsine® were isolated from the
fruit of a weed known as the Devil’s Apple (Solanum linnaeanum). They show activity against some
cancers and cause potentially therapeutic changes to the immune system. In addition to human health,
Coramsine® has potential application to animal health and diagnostics. Solbec’s business strategy is
to partner or out-license Coramsine® for the final stages of pre-commercial development and marketing.
