"We were very pleased with the FDA's acceptance of our filing for a generic of Seroquel extended-release capsules," commented Dr. Isa Odidi, CEO of Intellipharmaceutics. "I believe this speaks to the quality of our application and the work that is being performed at Intellipharmaceutics." Seroquel XR is an oral psychotropic agent indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder. Intellipharmaceutics has five ANDAs awaiting FDA approval. The Company develops both ANDA product candidates and new drugs through the New Drug Application (NDA) 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. As I first reported to our readers in January, Dr. Isa Odidi of Intellipharmaceutics (Nasdaq:IPCI) is easily one of the sector's genius drug delivery innovators. While he was at Biovail, Odidi was performing drug alchemy with formulations that mimicked several hard-to-manufacture generic versions of expensive drugs- among them, Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE)Procardia XL, Bayer’s (OTC: BAYRY.PK) Adalat CC, and Novartis’ (NYSE: NVS) Voltaren XR. While serving as the company’s Vice President of Research of Drug Development and New Technologies he helped grow Biovail through its adolescence into a 10+billion market cap company. Odidi also learned to navigate the FDA process and is now working on growing IPCI using the same basic formula. We feel very bullish about IPCI and continue to believe that this will be a very profitable biotechnology play, particuarly given today's announceent and what we learned from Odidi himself during our exclusive interview two weeks ago. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/05/03/nigeria.odidi.pharmaceuticals/
