Generex Biotech: A Breath of Fresh Insulin

Navdeep S. Jaikaria, Ph.D., a Senior Biotechnology Analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, he reiterated his Market Outperform Rating on Generex and $6 price target. Some of the highlights of the report, titled, "NO IMPACT ON ORAL-LYN FROM LILLY TERMINATION OF ALKERMES INHALED INSULIN" were:

Alternative Insulin Competitors Continue to Fall and Enhance the Oral-ly Opportunity Last Friday, Alkermes Inc. (ALKS, Not Rated) announced that it received a letter from Eli Lilly (LLY, Not Rated) terminating their license agreement for the development of AIR Inhaled Insulin. This news, as well as the announcement in October 2007 by Pfizer Inc. (PFE, Not Rated) of the termination of its development of Exubera, an in-market inhalable insulin by Nektar Therapeutics Inc. (NKTR, Not Rated), have continued to place unwarranted pressure on the shares of Generex, which is in the final stages of preparation for a Phase III trial with Oral-lyn, the company's proprietary oral insulin product candidate. We believe disappointing sales with Exubera inhaled insulin made uncertain the prospects for further commercialization of Alkermes' AIR and AERx, an inhaled insulin system by Novo Nordisk A-S (NVO, Not Rated) whose Phase III development was discontinued in January 2008. We believe this news is positive for Generex as they enhance Oral-lyn's opportunity as a safe, more tolerable, non-injectable insulin for the treatment of patients with diabetes.

We Reiterate that the High Hurdles with the Inhaled Route of Insulin Delivery are Not Likely to be Observed with Buccal Cavity (Oral) Delivery of Insulin Concerns continue to grow that inhaled insulins, such as Exubera, may all be plagued by the observation of an early, non-progressive decline in lung function that does not improve over long-term use of Exubera, as well as problems associated with formulation of insulin into inhalable powder form. Further, the advancement of more convenient injectable devices, such as pens filled with pre-mixed insulin analogs, obviated the value of convenient mealtime titratable insulin delivery. We believe the significant hurdles seen with the inhalation route of delivery bode negative for inhaled insulin products, and open the door for Oral-lyn as the insulin potentially with the best non-injectable alternative route of mealtime insulin delivery.

Oral Insulin: Balancing Safety with Efficacy

If the street had listened to Dr. Bernstein, the former head of the American Diabetes Association, they would have predicted the sudden drop in Mankind's (MNKD) stock last week. Back in December, 2007, Dr. Bernstein predicted that MNKD would fail.

Dr. Bernstein now serves for Generex and has committed his life to developing and obtaining approval for its flagship product, Oral-Lyn. He strongly believes in the safety and efficacy of the product. And, thus I highly doubt that the product will fail. GNBT should see $5/share within the coming year (remember it was $22 just because they had a partnership with Eli Lilly). Now they are in Phase 3 in the USA, and they have regulatory approval in India, one of the largest Diabetes markets in the world. For reference, Dr. Bernstein's bio is below.

Dr. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.C.P. graduated from Dartmouth College and Tufts University School of Medicine. He is board certified in internal medicine (1966) and endocrinology and metabolism (1973). Dr. Bernstein is an associate clinical professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. He is an attending physician at Beth Israel Medical Center, and physician emeritus at Lenox Hill Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center, all in New York. He was formerly Director of the Beth Israel Health Care Systems Diabetes Management Program. Dr. Bernstein was president of the American Diabetes Association in 1998-99 and was for many years a member of the ADA's Board of Directors and its Executive Committee. He received the ADA's Banting Medal for Service in 1999. Dr. Bernstein presently serves on several ADA committees and on the Board of Directors of the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation.

Flaherty Special Situation #2
Volume 1 Issue 2
April 2008
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

in this issue
Bob Flaherty Rides Again! Generex Biotechnology Corporation (NASDAQ:GNBT) is his next winner.

What exciting special situation have we found for you this issue? Take a look at Generex Biotechnology, whose stock was recently $1.04 versus a 12 month high of $2.14 and an all time high of over $22. Rodman and Renshaw forecasts a 12 month stock price of $6 and after that we think further gains are possible. GNBT is successful pioneering to introduce global needle-free delivery of insulin where many famous giants and lots of others have failed. You may even know of a person who is a diabetic who could improve the quality of their life if instead of using needles all the time they could switch to Generex Biotechnology's oral insulin spray after it is approved in the U.S. as it already is in Eucador and India.Think of how many of the 194 million diabetics in the world who would benefit if they coulld change the way that they take in insulin.
