NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2006--Xechem International, Inc. (OTC BB: XKEM - News) announced today that response to the first limited sales and distribution of NICOSAN(TM), its new product for the prophylactic management of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), by its subsidiary, Xechem Pharmaceuticals Nigeria, Ltd. (Xechem Nigeria), has been far greater than anticipated. Xechem Nigeria has broken ground for a new state-of-the-art commercial scale production facility and accelerated the facility\'s construction schedule. Xechem Nigeria, which received regulatory approval for NICOSAN(TM), its first major breakthrough "Natural Herbal Drug," on July 3rd, 2006 from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control of Nigeria (NAFDAC), has been producing the drug in limited quantities at its pilot scale facility in Abuja, Nigeria.

Xechem Nigeria\'s new commercial scale facility will have capacity to meet the demand of Nigeria and other African countries. Nigeria alone has 4 million sickle cell disease patients. The new facility will also be able to supply the drug for the clinical trials in the United States and the European Union.

NICOSAN(TM) was launched by the President of Nigeria, His Excellency Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on July 6th, 2006 at SHESTCO Complex. Immediately after the launch ceremony Xechem Nigeria has started direct sales of NICOSAN(TM) in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria.

The drug is taken through one-a-day capsules which, once started, must be taken daily by the patient. The current price for a months supply for Adults is established at N 3,000 Naira (approx. US $23) and for Pediatrics at N 2,400 Naira (approx. US $18), respectively. Xechem is also accepting mail orders for the drug from other States within Nigeria.

The financing for this first phase of construction was supplied by Nigerian Export-Import (NEXIM) Bank, which loaned Xechem Nigeria N150 Million Naira (US$1.2 million) in June of this year. Xechem estimates that the expanded facility will be fully operational within 9 months.

Dr. Ramesh Pandey, Chairman and CEO of the Xechem Companies said, "This is a very exciting time for Xechem and one that has been more than four years in the making. Getting NICOSAN(TM) approved for the prophylactic management of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) was a major milestone which changes Xechem from a research and development company to a full scale business venture with NICOSAN(TM) to market.

"This also required the construction of a full scale production facility, on which we have now broken ground This plant will meet all the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines, the first facility in Nigeria to do so. We are grateful to NEXIM Bank for the loan and their early support for this project. This will help ensure the completion of our expanded facility in the shortest possible timeframe. Xechem is very proud to be the leader in bringing NICOSAN(TM) for Sickle Cell sufferers first in Nigerian market which will be followed throughout the African continent and the world."

About NICOSAN(TM)

NICOSAN(TM) is an anti-sickling, phyto-pharmaceutical (Natural Herbal Drug) for the prophylactic management of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). It was developed by Nigerian scientists at the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD). In clinical studies conducted under NIPRD\'s auspices, the drug has shown to substantially reduce the degree of sickling of the red blood cells of those afflicted with the disease. While not a cure, the clinical trials have confirmed that the large majority of patients taking NICOSAN(TM) no longer experience sickle cell "crises" while on the medication, and even among those whose crises are not eliminated, the number and severity of the crises are substantially reduced. Preliminary studies carried out at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Sickle Cell Disease Reference Laboratory (NHLBI-SCDRL), NIH, at the Children\'s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Xechem Research Laboratory in New Brunswick, NJ have confirmed some of the Nigerian studies.

About Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by an abnormality in the hemoglobin molecule. Patients with the disease often produce stiff, abnormally shaped red blood cells that often do not flow freely through the blood vessels. This can create clogs in the vessels, which in turn cut off the flow of normal hemoglobin and oxygen to parts of the body, and can cause severe painful attacks or "crises", damage to various organs and shortened life spans. People with SCD often suffer unpredictable painful crises several times a year lasting from a few hours to a week or more. In the US, there are approximately 80,000 patients with SCD. In Nigeria, that number is believed to be approximately 4 million, and worldwide at least 12 million individuals are afflicted with SCD.

hier abgeht. Ehrlich gesagt, waren die News gestern der Oberhammer, oder? Nach dem 2. Satz habe ich schon gejubelt. Ich hätte aber mehr Kursschwung erwartet, mal gucken was heute wird. Bei den vergangenen News kams auch erst bissle später.  

sind ja von über 0,04 gefallen,Korrektur wird folgen  

na, wenn das auch so funzt wie bei yukos... denk denk denk... müßte eigentlich klappen bei den news da oben.... hab nur noch 2000 cash im Depot... könnte es ja mal mit 70000 Stück riskieren, andererseits lohnt sich das ja kaum... Ihr merkt, ich denke LAUT -gg-
ach ich riskiers mal mit limit !!!  

hab mal 70.000 angemeldet mit limit 0,024... schaunmermal !!!  

in den usa schon mal gehalten!  

mal kräftig abprallen wie ein pingpong-ball !!! -aber erst, nachdem meine order durch ist-   .-)))  

oder USA.  habe auf 0,019 limitiert ( FFM )  

 

ja, sind eingebucht und wie man sieht, mal wieder zu teuer, hätte doch noch warten sollen. ( ! )  

auf der Höhe Deines limits ist der SL in meinem Kopf LOL.

Kann noch ne Menge lernen von Euch, Jungs !!!   .-(((  

bis 13 Uhr bleiben wir zw.  0,022 - 0,024  und sobald USA etwas positiv ist dann srehen wir schnell bei 0,027  

aber guck Dir mal den chart an.....  

Teil auch durch die Decke.  aber bis heute nachmittag warte und das teil geht up dann ist zu spät. versuche mal zu 0,021 reinzukommen und werde dann bei 0,017 absichern.  

mach Dir keine Sorgen, über 0,024 geht sicherlich demnächst, verkaufsorder limit 0,027 und die biste spätestens montag mit gewinn wieder los.  

Bin wirklich mal gespannt, hab die Teile rein wegen Charttechnik und auch wg. der news oben gekauft... hatte zweimal Boden erreicht und hätte gestern eigentlich steigen müssen... grins...  

0,023 eingesammelt.Hier kommt was,das ist nicht das Ende.In Amerika hat man sich die letzten 2 Wochen ordentl.eingedeckt.Zudem sind riesige Shortpositionen aufgebaut worden,sollte das mit dem Medikament bestätigt werden,müssen sich die Grossen wieder eindecken.Einziger Beigeschmack,Stade hat das selbe Medikament auf Biochemischer Basis in Phase 3 laufen.  

also so 10 - 15 Prozent könnte es heute noch abwärts gehen  

habe vor 4 Tagen Open Energy gekauft,da hatten sie beim ami auf tiefst geschlossen,und doch gings am nächsten Tag rauf.Muss nicht immer so sein,ausserdem sind wir an guten Widerständen.  

 

schon mitbringen,bin ja gestern zu 0,025 mit 400k rein,bei diesem Preis habe ich keine grosse Sorge,anders die da zu 0,04 gekauft haben.Notfalls fasse ich nochmal 200k zu 0,019 ab,falls stoops von anderen gerissen werden.
