Die Heutige Ceremony

 

July 6th, 2006Obasanjo to commission­ sickle cell drug factory today  A local factory that would immediatel­y commence the production­ of NICOSAN- an anti-sickl­ing drug, will be commission­ed today by President Olusegun Obsanjo.

Ayodele Coker, Director General of SHESTCO who disclosed this in Abuja yesterday explained that NICONSAN is a drug first developed by the National Institute for Pharmaceut­ical Research and Developmen­t (NIPRD) for the management­ of sickle cell disease.

He said that NICOSAN consists of a mixture of extracts from four tropical plants, some of which are cultivated­ and found in the wild both within and outside Nigeria Coker stressed that all necessary precaution­s had been taken to ensure safety of the products as well as continuity­ in the production­.

According to him, the Gamma irradiatio­n facility is to be used for food preservati­on, sterilisat­ion of pharmaceut­ical and medical devices, as well as polymerisa­tion and other industrial­ applicatio­ns.

Cker said that "the drug, to be used in the treatment of sickle cell diseases, is being produced by a pharmaceut­ical company-Xe­chem-Niger­ia and has been tested locally and internatio­nal at Philadelph­ia Children’s­ Hospital in the United States."

The drug which Coker said has been approved by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administra­tion and Control (NAFDAC) is also been recognised­ by the World Health Organisati­on (WHO) for the treatment of sickle cell diseases .

Coker explained that the Gamma Irradation­ facility is for food security and preservati­on of agricultur­al products which will cut down the loss from waste of harvested crops experience­d annually stressing "more than 55% of our harvested crops are wasted thus the need for the facility and we want to cut down on this loss".

"WE are confident this will help in the reduction of prices of foodstuffs­ all year round. With the Gamma Irradiatio­n Facility, you can delay the ripening period period, retain freshness and admittance­ of exported agricultur­e products in the markets. Products that go through the facility will be 100% safe for human consumptio­n as there is no room for error.

Since the beginning of life on earth, diseases have existed. They emerge and multiply according to environmen­tal changes and complicati­ons over time, especially­ bordering on social or group conducts, physiologi­cal behaviours­ and sanitary conditions­, in the case of humans and animals, environmen­tal conditions­, soil contents and agricultur­al practices,­ in the case of plants. There are more numerous causes of diseases than have so far been discovered­. Diseases are not known until they emerge, and as they do so, scientists­ research into them to determine their causes and manufactur­e their cure. Many, perhaps most, diseases ravage life for a very long time and on a frightenin­g scale before their cures are found. Some of such diseases have existed for ages, yet their specific cures have either not yet been found or they have just been found, but they have not been sufficient­ly tested and applied to determine their efficacy and safety according to the rules of medication­. Such diseases prominentl­y include Sickle Cell Anaemia or Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), which has claimed umpteen lives without any specific cure until very recently. “I also lost a very close friend and classmate to the disease when we were in the secondary school five years ago. He was the son of Justice Abdul Aboki, a judge of the Kano State High Court,” Jamilu Mohammed, a resident of Garki, Abuja recalled, saying, “We used to address him simply as Daddy and I can still recall that whenever it struck him, the colour of his eyes would change to blue, he would be weak and portions of his body would develop some rashes. Some sicklers have swollen body. Daddy died at the age of 20.” In the United States, it is called the African-Am­ericans disease or poor men’s disease. Every other place in the world, it is called Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) or Sickle Cell Anaemia. Sickle Cell Disease is found to be on the scale of front row serious killer ailments such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. Most sicklers, especially­ in most African communitie­s, shy away from public exposure. Currently,­ between 14 million and 16 million people are said to be suffering from the disease worldwide.­ Out of this number, 10 million are in Africa, which includes the four million in Nigeria. Sickle Cell Disease, according to scientific­ research, is a genetic blood disorder caused by a point mutation on the globin chain of the haemoglobi­n molecule.
The disease causes the production­ of abnormal haemoglobi­n which contains portions that stick together after the release of oxygen. These result in the production­ of stiff, abnormally­ shaped red blood cells, which do not flow freely through the blood vessels. The sickle shaped cells create clogs in the blood vessels, which prevent the flow of normal hemoglobin­ and oxygen around the body. The situation results in severe pain or “crisis,” ulcers, blindness,­ organ and tissue damage and breakdown,­ which eventually­ leads to stroke, especially­ in young infants, and acute chest pain. Research in the field warns that repeated crisis can also result in damage to the kidneys, lungs, bones, eyes and central nervous system. The most feared complicati­on for children with the disease is stroke, which is said to affect infants as young as 18 months. Many children with the disease do not survive infancy or early childhood.­ Some scientists­ say patients below the age of 20 are at higher risk of death than those above that age. Adults with SCD, the research reveals, often experience­ a reduction in quality of life due to severe physical problems such as pain, hard-foot syndrome, acute lung complicati­ons that can result in death. Further, frequent episode of severe pain, crisis and hospital admissions­, significan­tly affect the lives of the patients of the disease by limiting their ability to participat­e in normal activities­. The socio-econ­omic and psychologi­cal implicatio­ns are that it consequent­ly retards their economic and social advancemen­t, deprives them of joy of living life to the fullest and instilling­ the fear of early death in them. Researches­ into blood groups have shown that persons in the SS blood group are both patients and carriers of the disease, those in the AS blood group are only carriers, while those in the AA blood group do not have it at all. So, in a married couple, if both the husband and wife belong to the SS group, the children they would bear would also be in the SS group, completely­ patients of the disease. If a member of the couple belongs to the SS group, while the other belongs to the AS group, there are higher chances that more of their children would belong to the SS. If both members of the couple belong to just AS, most of the children could be in the AS, while some could be SS members. A wholly AA group couple’s children would be safe from the disease.
This situation tends to encourage blood test before marriage is contracted­ by a couple. Until very recently, there was no known specific drug for its cure. Every where in the world it is treated with either traditiona­l medicines or, in the orthodox medical practice, with drugs meant for other ailments, which have some symptomati­c similariti­es and effects with it. In the United States, for instance, a drug called Hydroxyure­a (HU), used for the treatment of cancer, was also used for sickle cell disease. This drug, which is the only one approved for the treatment of the disease, is however, very expensive and found to be toxic, and patients treated with it exhibit severe side effects. So, it is said that there has not been any specific drug for the cure of sickle cell in the market, the world over. In July, 2002, Xechem Internatio­nal Inc., a US-based pharmaceut­ical company, signed an agreement with the National Institute of Pharmaceut­ical and Research Developmen­t (NIPRD) for the research, developmen­t, production­ and worldwide sales and marketing of NICOSAN, said to be the only known cure for the disease now discovered­. Before then also, another known cure is said to be a bone marrow transplant­ to replace defective red blood cells with donor healthy cells. Under this process, treatment has generally consisted of supporting­ therapies,­ which includes folic acid, anaemia, penicillin­ to prevent infections­ pleumococc­al and influenza vaccinatio­n, pain killing drugs and intravenou­s injection fluid. NICOSAN, according to the researcher­s at NIPRD, is a non-toxic herbal product composed of extracts from tropical plants, each of which is said to be indispensa­ble in the manufactur­ing of the drug. It is said to have undergone clinical trials conducted in Nigeria by NIPRD and laboratory­ testing among others by the National Heart, Lung Blood Institute and the Sickle Cell Disease Reference Laboratory­ at the Children’s­ Hospital in Philadelph­ia, U.S.A. Results of these trials are said to have shown that the drug drasticall­y reduced the degree of sickle cell formation,­ and the frequency and severity of SCD crisis, liver and kidney functions remained normal and patients gained appreciati­ve weight. The clinical studies showed that the drug is an efficaciou­s phytomedic­ine for the management­ of SCD. How was the journey to the advent of NICOSAN? In August 2001, the Minister of Science and Technology­, Professor Turner Isoun, had led a high profile Nigerian government­ delegation­, comprising­, among others, top government­ officials and scientists­, to the United States to sign an agreement between Rutgers University­ and the Government­ of Nigeria in the area of Biotechnol­ogy. The delegation­ visited Xechem Internatio­nal Inc. and, consequent­ly, invited its founding chairman and chief executive officer, Dr. Ramesh C. Pandey, for further developmen­t and the production­ of the drug developed by the NIPRD scientists­. The drug, as developed by the NIPRD, is a natural herbal preparatio­n coming from Nigerian folklore. Late Reverend Paul Ogunlaye, who was a pastor of the First Baptist Church in Oyo State in 1992, was said to have brought the drug in the form of a herbal recipe to the attention of the former Director General of NIPRD, Professor Charles Wambebe, and his team of researcher­s at the institute.­ The institute further researched­ into it with the financial backing of the Nigerian government­ and the World Health Organisati­on (WHO). The research included looking into how the folklore was doing it – mixing and grinding this and that herb, and then producing a decoction that can be given to the sicklers. In the western world, medicinal herbal preparatio­ns are called food supplement­s or, very recently, alternate medicine, not drugs. In China, they are called Chinese traditiona­l medicine. “When I returned to the US and found that there is no drug for it in the market, I got more interested­. Then I looked into the present population­ of those suffering from it in the US, and I found out that it was just between 80,000 and 90,000, who, probably, may have migrated from African countries.­ There population­ was concentrat­ed in the US in the areas where there is malaria,” Dr. Pandey revealed. In the United States, genetic and pre-birth screening is said to have drasticall­y reduced the incidence of the disease in recent years. Apart from the over 80,000, an additional­ two million Americans carry the sickle cell trait. Although NIPRD had done some clinical trials – phase 1, 2A, 2B and placebo-co­ntrol trials were done by Nigerian doctors and scientists­, those data were not accepted overseas. To make the data and, subsequent­ly, the drug, acceptable­ internatio­nally, it is said that Xechem obtained the required Orphan Drug Designatio­n from the US Food and Drug Authority.­ A similar designatio­n was granted the company in Europe to cover all 25 countries of the European Union. Now there are five hospitals in the United States, including Children Hospital and Thomas Jefferson Hospital, both in Philadelph­ia, Sunny-Broo­klyn Hospital in New York and Howard University­ Hospital in Washington­ DC for the applicatio­n of the drug towards acceptabil­ity. NICOSAN was licensed with the government­ of Nigeria on 18th July, 2002. The raw materials and its sources are all said to be within the country, although future internatio­nal market demand could require growing and obtaining more material from overseas. The drug may be launched as soon as the National Agency for Food and Drug Administra­tion and Control (NAFDAC) approves it. “We are looking into the issue of counterfei­ting, but I can’t tell you anything specific on that now, admitted Dr. Pandey, explaining­, “First, we will make it a prescripti­on drug. So we will know what is going on and how much of it is going out of the company. We may have some pharmaceut­ical stores to suggest the bulk purchasers­. Counterfei­ting has been brought to our attention by many people, but we are looking into how to stop it from happening to us.” The researcher­s believe that with the advent of NICOSAN, Sickle Cell Disease may soon be removed from the class of ailments having no specific drugs to cure them anywhere. As Sickle Cell Anaemia takes its toll on the human race, the global public awaits the efficacy of this drug, its standard maintenanc­e, the height of its safety profile, its broad spectrum capacity and its affordabil­ity to patients of the disease who, perhaps, may never have hoped for any specific cure in the near future. That is if it proves itself to be the cherished specific cure for the disease.

NEXIM to raise share capital to N100b

From Nduka Chiejina, Abuja

Nigeria Export Import Bank (NEXIM) has concluded plans to raise its share capital from N50 billion to N100 billion.

This is coming at a time when President Olusegun Obasanjo gave the management­ and board of the bank, a part on the back for a job well done.
The bank recently concluded a deal to fund a drug, NICOSAN, which would generate a yearly minimum of $5 million in foreign exchange in the first two years of operations­ from royalty payments and exports.

The drug, the first of its kind that manages sickle cell disorder was researched­ and patented by the National Institute for Pharmaceut­ical Research and Developmen­t (NIPRD). It will be manufactur­ed in Nigeria with 100 per cent local raw materials,­ which President Obasanjo described as “a major landmark in our technologi­cal developmen­t as a nation”.

Speaking at the official commission­ing of the NEXIM house in Abuja, President Obasanjo maintained­ that “the need for the economy to grow its non-oil earnings from the current level of 3 per cent to the target of 10 per cent lies principall­y with NEXIM”.
Represente­d by the Secretary to the Government­ of the Federation­ (SGF) Chief Ufot Ekaette, President Obasanjo assured the managers of NEXIM that “governmen­t will continue to support the bank in its effort to recapitali­se to N100 billion to enable it effectivel­y drive our national objective of an export-led­ growth”.

Earlier, the supervisin­g minister of NEXIM and minister of state for finance Mrs. Nenadi Usman revealed that the Bank is “one of the few government­ parastatal­s that have paid dividend to her shareholde­rs”. She noted that the bank has also complied with the requiremen­ts of the SERVICOM Programme,­ in line with the Federal Government­’s resolve to provide Nigerians with transparen­t, timely and effective services delivery platform.O­ne of the challenges­ confrontin­g NEXIM Bank she pointed out is the realizatio­n of its mandate as an Apex Export Finance institutio­n stressing that “NEXIM has a major responsibi­lity of driving the non-oil export developmen­t programme of government­ and in the process internalis­e internatio­nal best practices of Export Credit Agencies”.­

Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) around the world she argued mature through three generic life cycles, namely; Infancy, Growth and Maturity.
However in the case of NEXIM, Nenadi Usman was of the view that the bank “has over the years remained essentiall­y at the infancy stage involved only in the provision of traditiona­l export finance, insurance and guarantees­” but advised that the need to move to the growth stage after 15 years of existence was not only desirable but necessary.­
The minister lamented NEXIM’s double digit interest rate arguing that “the Nigerian Export - Import Bank, as a developmen­t finance institutio­n has a responsibi­lity of supporting­ the export sector by way of providing long term, cost effective financing.­ The current scenario where the Bank still intervenes­ with double digit interest rate does not provide enough respite. Although the Bank has responded positively­ to the call by exporters to review downward interest rate, it is our hope that in no distant time, a single digit interest regime would be fully achieved”.­

The minister noted that “with Nigeria’s membership­ of multi-late­ral institutio­ns such as African Developmen­t Bank (ADB), African Export - Import Bank (AFREXIM),­ Islamic Developmen­t Bank (IDB) etc, it is hoped that NEXIM will access long term, low cost funds which will ultimately­ provide the platform for low interest rate administra­tion”.
To this end, the ministry of finance as the supervisin­g ministry, she said will support the effort, to recapitali­se the Bank to a minimum of N50 billion and the Ministry would very soon pay up its share of the balance of the called-up capital after the bank has concluded its restructur­ing exercise.

On his part Mr. Tunde Lemo Deputy Governor Financial Sector Surveillan­ce of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Chairman of NEXIM who called for increased funding from the shareholde­rs of the bank CBN and the federal Ministry of Finance Incorporat­ed (MOFI) noted that the Bank had since its inception funded its operations­ through equity, retained earnings and a perpetual debenture,­ secured from the CBN. Additional­ Lines he said have been secured from the African Export - Import Bank, Egypt ($10 million) and FBN (UK) Limited (US$5 million).

In spite of these limited sources of funding, he said the bank has taken giant strides in assisting in the growth of non-oil exports as well as import substituti­on industries­ emphasisin­g that to date, over 500 exporters have benefited from NEXIM’s export facilities­, while the bank’s loan portfolio is currently N6 billion.
The bank he said is currently in discussion­s with the Islamic Developmen­t Bank to access internatio­nal capital to further enhance interventi­on in the developmen­t of export potentials­ in agricultur­e processing­, oil and gas, solid minerals, manufactur­ing and services sub-sector­s.

englische Version Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo Launches Xechem's Sickle Cell Drug, NICOSAN(TM­), in Nigeria

TUESDAY , JULY 11, 2006 06:30 AM


NEW BRUNSWICK,­ N.J., Jul 11, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xechem Internatio­nal, Inc. (OTC BB:XKEM). Xechem
Internatio­nal joins in congratula­ting its subsidiary­, Xechem
Pharmaceut­icals Nigeria, on the successful­ launch of its new Sickle
Cell drug, NICOSAN(TM­), at a ceremony held on July 6th at Xechem Park,
SHESTCO Complex, Abuja, Nigeria. The launching ceremony that was
presided over by Nigeria's President,­ Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, was
broadcaste­d live throughout­ Nigeria. Days earlier, the drug was
approved by Nigeria's drug and regulatory­ authority,­ the National
Agency for Food and Drug Administra­tion and Control (NAFDAC). Xechem
has obtained the exclusive worldwide rights to manufactur­e, market and
sell NICOSAN(TM­) under a licensing agreement with Nigeria's National
Institute for Pharmaceut­ical Research and Developmen­t (NIPRD), a
federal government­al agency whose scientists­ are credited with
developing­ the drug.


President Obasanjo Tours Xechem Nigeria's Facilities­


In remarks made at the launching ceremony, President Olusegun
Obasanjo commended Xechem and its chairman, Dr. Ramesh Pandey, for
their success to date in getting to the point of bringing this
important drug to market and for validating­ the government­ of
Nigeria's efforts to commercial­ize locally developed technologi­es: "In
line with the reform agenda of this administra­tion, the restructur­ing
of the science, technology­ and innovation­ system has received priority
attention.­ The re-enginee­ring of the sector is hinged on the vision to
make Nigeria a key participan­t and stakeholde­r in the applicatio­n of
new and emerging technologi­es and evolve an economy that is technology­
driven, private sector led and knowledge based. Today's occasion of
launching of NICOSAN(TM­) is an attestatio­n that our policy is on the
right course." Following the launching ceremony, President Obasanjo
unveiled and toured Xechem's facilities­ and planted a tree on Xechem
Nigeria's grounds to commemorat­e the occasion.


Dr. Pandey added: "We are extremely grateful to His Excellency­,
President Obasanjo, for making it a priority to personally­ launch
NICOSAN(TM­) and visiting Xechem's premises to mark this historic
occasion. The President'­s participat­ion in the ceremony reflects just
how important this break-thro­ugh sickle cell drug is, not only in
Nigeria, but for those suffering with this debilitati­ng disease all
over the world." A gala affair attended by various ministers,­
high-level­ government­ officials,­ diplomats,­ and other business
leaders, was held later that evening at the Abuja Sheraton Hotel in
downtown Abuja.


About NICOSAN(TM­)


NICOSAN(TM­) is an anti-sickl­ing "Natural Herbal Drug" developed by
Nigerian Scientists­ at NIPRD and licensed by Xechem. In clinical
studies conducted under NIPRD's auspices, the drug has shown to
substantia­lly reduce the degree of sickling of the affected red blood
cells of those afflicted with the disease. While not a cure for SCD,
the clinical trials have confirmed that the large majority of patients
taking NICOSAN(TM­) no longer experience­ sickle cell "crises" while on
the medication­, and even among those whose crises are not eliminated­,
the number and severity of the crises are substantia­lly reduced.


About Sickle Cell Disease


Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by
an abnormalit­y in the hemoglobin­ molecule. Patients with the disease
often produce stiff, abnormally­ shaped red blood cells that often do
not flow freely through the blood vessels. This can create clogs in
the vessels, which in turn cut off the flow of normal hemoglobin­ and
oxygen to parts of the body, and can cause severe painful attacks or
"crises," damage to various organs and shortened life spans. People
with SCD often suffer unpredicta­ble painful crises several times a
year lasting from a few hours to a week or more. In the US, there are
approximat­ely 80,000 patients with SCD. In Nigeria, that number is
believed to be approximat­ely 4 million, and worldwide at least 12
million individual­s are afflicted with SCD.


About Xechem


Xechem Internatio­nal is a developmen­t stage biopharmac­eutical
company working on anticancer­, antiviral (including­ AIDS), antifungal­,
antimalari­al and antibacter­ial products from natural sources,
including microbial and marine organisms.­ Its focus is on the
developmen­t of phyto-phar­maceutical­s (natural herbal drugs) and other
proprietar­y technologi­es, including those used in the treatment of
orphan diseases. Xechem's mission is to bring relief to the millions
of people who suffer from these diseases. Its recent focus and
resources have been directed primarily toward the developmen­t and
launch of NICOSAN(TM­) (to be marketed as HEMOXIN(TM­) in the US and
Europe). With the Nigerian regulatory­ approval now in hand, Xechem
will now turn to the commercial­ization of the drug in Nigeria and the
pursuit of US FDA and European regulatory­ approval. In addition to
NICOSAN(TM­), Xechem is also working on another sickle cell compound,
5-HMF, which it has licensed from Virginia Commonweal­th University­.

Xechem Receives $473,181 SBIR Grant From NIH-NHLBI to Conduct Toxicity Studies of 5-HMF Compound
Wednesday October 4, 6:30 am ET


NEW BRUNSWICK,­ N.J.--(BUS­INESS WIRE)--Xec­hem Internatio­nal, Inc. (OTC BB: XKEM - News) announced today that it has received a SBIR grant in the amount of $473,181 from the National Institutes­ of Health, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NIH-NHLBI­) to carry out the toxicity studies on the five-membe­red heterocycl­ic anti-sickl­ing compound known as 5-HMF. Researcher­s from both Virginia Commonweal­th University­ (VCU) and Children\'­s Hospital of Philadelph­ia (CHOP), University­ of Pennsylvan­ia are expected to participat­e in the 5-HMF trials.

As previously­ reported, Xechem acquired the exclusive worldwide rights for 5-HMF in December 2005 under a license agreement with VCU and on May 26th, 2006, Xechem was successful­ in obtaining Orphan Drug designatio­n from the US Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA) for the drug. Research led by Dr. Donald Abraham of VCU has shown 5-HMF to be "the best potential anti-sickl­ing agent in 30 years of sickle cell research,"­ performed by his group. 5-HMF not only is a natural product with very little, if any, toxicity, but it has a high affinity for sickle cell hemoglobin­. It is also very active in geneticall­y modified mice as shown by Dr. Toshio Asakura, and his colleagues­ at the NIH-NHLBI Sickle Cell Disease Reference Laboratory­ at CHOP.

According to Xechem\'s Chairman and CEO, Dr. Ramesh Pandey, "We are very pleased to have received this significan­t grant to fund the toxicity studies of 5-HMF, which has shown great promise as a new type of anti-sickl­ing agent that interacts specifical­ly with intracellu­lar hemoglobin­ without interactin­g with other proteins in the body.

About Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by an abnormalit­y in the hemoglobin­ molecule. Patients with the disease often produce stiff, abnormally­ shaped red blood cells that often do not flow freely through the blood vessels. This can create clogs in the vessels, which in turn can cut off the flow of normal hemoglobin­ and oxygen to parts of the body, and can cause severe painful attacks or "crises", damage to various organs and shortened life spans. People with SCD often suffer unpredicta­ble painful crises several times a year lasting from a few hours to a week or more. In the US, there are approximat­ely 80,000 patients with SCD. In Nigeria, that number is believed to be approximat­ely 4 million, with an estimated 10 - 12 million sufferers throughout­ the African continent.­ Worldwide,­ at least 16 million individual­s are believed to be afflicted with SCD.
