NOKOMIS, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The market for effective new treatments for Parkinsons disease and other degenerative neurological disorders is strong and projected to grow sharply in coming years. Thats good news for Rainbow Coral Corp.s (RBCC) biotech subsidiary, Rainbow Biosciences, as it closes in on a deal with Amarantus Biosciences, Inc. (AMBS)
The increasing market potential for Parkinsons therapies is what initially attracted RBCCs attention to Amarantus work. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates that as many as one million Americans suffer from Parkinson’s disease, and 60,000 new patients are diagnosed each year. Medication costs per person are believed to be around $2,500 each year and the total economic impact is estimated to be around $25 billion in the U.S. alone.
Most encouraging of all, the market for Parkinsons drugs could grow to a value of $3.75 billion by 2015, according to a report last year by Visiongain.
Growth in the Parkinson’s treatment market is being driven by new breakthroughs, and RBCC is working to help advance the timeline for a cure for the debilitating disease. RBCC is currently negotiating a potential definitive agreement with Amarantus, a company that could be on the verge of promising new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for Parkinsons patients and their doctors.
Amarantus owns the rights to a promising therapeutic protein known as MANF that prevents a type of cell death called apoptosis that could be the beginning of a cure for the disease. The company also owns the license to a groundbreaking diagnostic platform called NuroPro for Parkinsons that allows neurologists to accurately diagnose and track the progression of Parkinsons disease in patients. This groundbreaking test could potentially be on market in certain regions as early as 2013.
