From: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation(r gmail.com> To: ' Subject: please respond Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 09:14:20 +0000 This looks extremely high risk and without any real possibility of high reward even based on this very limited information. 1) Insulin market is very competitive with many very well funded players looking at biosimilar and bio- same insulin 2) This is very early - recent IND approval from US FDA means they are not in human trials yet or just started very recently though I suspect if they had actually started human trials they would jhave mentioned it here. 3) These guys dont seem to have US rights but seem to have rights in low value geographies - you arent going to make much money selling their product in Iraq, Algeria and Libya etc. 4) Even if they had global rights it is extremely difficult to get AB rated bio-same approval for proteins and it would be extremely difficult to get comfortable with them achieving that down the road regardless of how much due diligence you could do now. 5) Insulin competition isnt about manufacturing cost of the active pharmaceutical ingredient but it is based on the delivery device. 6) No information is given on oral insulin but many have tried for decades and failed and I suspect the lack of information means they are not in human trials and have not proven any concept. They actually say here the low cost of their insulin is what opens up the possibility of oral insulin - that is totally false. The lack of oral insulin products today is based on technical and scientific hurdles of delivering it intact to the bloodstream through the GI tract - not cost. *********************************************************** The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
