Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc., (OTCBB:OCOL) (Oncolin) announces that one of its lead drug candidates has shown in preclinical testing that it extends the life of animals that have human tumors implanted in their brains. The early testing has yielded results in animals that are equivalent to that of Temodar®, which is one of the leading cancer treatments for brain cancer with annual revenues in excess of $500 million annually. This technology is covered under Oncolin's recent exclusive option to license from The University of Texas M.D. Anderson.

In further studies it was determined that the administration of a combination of our compound with Temodar® produces superior anti-tumor activity when compared to Temodar® alone, resulting in increased survival.

"Even though these tests are very early stage they have generated some very positive results which validate our theory of this treatment. We are continuing to undertake and complete the preclinical studies required for a goal of beginning a phase I trial by the beginning of 2009," said Dr. Donald Picker, President and COO.
