*The      information contained in this document is current as of March 6, 2007. This      press release contains forward-looking statements. Any statements contained      herein that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking      statements. When the Company uses the words "anticipates,” “plans,” “expects”and similar expressions, it is identifying forward-looking statements. Such      forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause      the      Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different      from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors      include, among others, the uncertainties associated with product development,      the risk that clinical trials will not commence or proceed as planned, the      risks      and uncertainties associated with dependence upon the actions of our corporate,      academic and other collaborators and of government regulatory agencies, the      risk      that our licenses to intellectual property may be terminated because of our      failure to have satisfied performance milestones, the risk that products that      appear promising in early clinical trials do not demonstrate efficacy in*

*larger-scale      clinical trials, the risk that we may not be able to manufacture commercial      quantities of our products, the uncertainty of future profitability and other      factors set forth more fully in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the      fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and other reports filed with the Securities      and Exchange Commission, to which investors are referred for further      information.
