Intellectual Property: The active ingredient in Prestara™ is prasterone, more commonly known as dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, which has been in the public domain for many years. Although the Company has an issued U.S. patent on the specific polymorphic form of DHEA used in the formulation of prasterone, the Company does not believe it is possible to obtain patent protection for the base chemical compound anywhere in the world. Genelabs licensed two U.S. patents covering uses of DHEA in treating lupus from Stanford University in 1993. In addition, it has filed patent applications covering additional uses for Prestara™ and various pharmaceutical formulations and intends to file additional applications as appropriate. The Company has filed patent applications covering compounds from its HCV drug discovery programs; however, not all of these HCV applications have issued. A number of patents have been issued to Genelabs covering its drug discovery technologies and methods related to selective regulation of gene expression and the control of viral infections.
