Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.
Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIXT) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering drugs for more
effective treatments for many forms of cancer and other serious common diseases. A major driver of cancer is defects in the switches
that turn the biochemical pathways in cells on and off. Most cancer research over the past 30 years has focused on the "on"
switches because the "off" switches, especially the master "off" switch protein phosphatase (PP2A), were
believed to cause intolerable toxicity in patients. Lixte has achieved a breakthrough with its novel, first-in-class lead compound,
PP2A inhibitor LB-100, by demonstrating that it is readily tolerated in cancer patients at doses associated with anti-cancer activity.
This innovative approach encourages cancer cells, weakened by chemo or other cancer therapies, to continue to replicate before
repairing the damage, leading to the more efficient death and elimination of those cells from the body. Lixte has partnered with
top medical institutions and leading academic research centers to advance the clinical development of its compounds. The LB-100
compound, of which there are no competitors known to Lixte, is currently being tested in three clinical studies with others in
planning. www.lixte.com
