Drug Delivery - Our Company-Maker
Stirling Advanced Drug Delivery Solutions
• Fully patented ‘platform’ technology has demonstrated improved
drug delivery through natural inhalation – Provides Stirling JV
the potential and opportunity of securing market share in a
range of blockbuster drugs as they come off patent
• Safer drug profile in that only around 10% of active product is
required to provide same benefit as 100% (oral delivery).
• Promises to be a blockbuster ‘re-generator’ providing unique
patent protection for better performing generic versions of the
industry’s biggest and best blockbusters
A GLOBALLY UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY
For personal use only
Advanced Drug Delivery Solutions
A breakthrough ‘platform’ and ONLY devices in
the world that will offer ALL of the following:
•
Drug transport velocity - matched to natural breathing
•
Less deposition on drug delivery pathways
•
Up to 3 times the aerosol concentration of other ultrasonic
devices
•
Delivered drugs – sub 5 micron - have much better & faster
absorption - bioavailability
•
Active drug in unique disposable capsules – IP protection
•
Can potentially be used for administration of many drugs
TECHNOLOGY IS PROVEN, DEVELOPED AND PATENTED
Potential for major partnership
For personal use only
Advanced Drug Delivery Solutions
•
Testing and earlier FDA 510K device approval have
supported its superiority and viability
•
Demonstrated that substantively LESS active drug (than
oral) is needed to provide the same benefit – potentially
less side-effects
•
This potential for increased safety provides a platform
that can transform ex-blockbuster drugs to exclusive
Stirling ‘premium’ generic product – In fact the platform
promises to be a generic blockbuster ‘re-generator’
•
Most of the world’s major blockbuster drugs (as at 2005)
will be off patent by end 2015 – Many are candidates that
Stirling can potentially adapt to its delivery device

ST-810 for Obesity
ST- 810 is fully developed and has been safely used by humans for
respiratory disease for over 15 years in its purified form and 30 years in its
original formulation
Stirling is re-purposing this ‘old drug’ for a ‘new use’ – a well established
product development process within the pharmaceutical industry
ST- 810 is a ‘metabolic switch’ - turns off the body’s fat production
receptors and lets the body naturally adjust its weight – trial in Beagle dogs
showed approx 2% weight-loss per week
A successful obesity drug would most likely be the world’s biggest ever
blockbuster drug in a market estimated at well over US$75B
To commercialize ST- 810, partnering with a major
pharmaceutical group is targeted by 2011 year end.

are technically obese, as defined by a BMI (body-mass index) of more
than 30. And Americans aren't happy about it.
Last year, they spent an estimated $46 Billion on diet products.”
