CURAXIS PHARMACEUTICAL CORP. ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF REVERSE MERGER WITH AUTO SEARCH CARS, INC.
Durham, NC - July 29, 2010 Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp ("Curaxis") is pleased to announce the completion of its reverse merger (the "Merger") with Auto Search Cars, Inc. ("Auto Search") (OTCBB:ASCH). The effective date of the Merger is July 29, 2010.
In connection with the Merger, Auto Search is in the process of changing its name to Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation and expects the name change to be completed Friday, July 30
th
. In addition Auto Search will apply to FINRA to change its trading symbol, a process which is expected to be completed in three to six weeks. As a result of the Merger, the company will concentrate exclusively on clinical development of Curaxis' drug pipeline. In the near term, the company plans to concentrate exclusively on clinical development of its drug candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
In completing the Merger, Auto Search issued 64.2 million shares of its common stock to the holders of Curaxis common stock. Under the terms of the Merger, all but 8.7 million of those shares will be restricted from trading for a period of one year from the closing of the Merger. After the close of the Merger a total of 71.9 million shares of common stock will be outstanding. Southridge Business Solutions Group LLC assisted with the closing of the Merger.
Patrick S. Smith, CEO and President of Curaxis, said, "We feel that the Merger allows us to enter the public arena, and ideally positions us to move our candidate for treatment of Alzheimer's disease into our planned Phase 2b clinical trials in women with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Recent developments in Alzheimer's research, particularly the recent failures of other Alzheimer's candidates in Phase 3 trials, have added to the mounting evidence in support of our patented approach to treating Alzheimer's. In view of the limited effectiveness of currently-approved Alzhiemer's drugs, the encouraging data from our earlier Phase 2 trial in women, and the continued rapid growth of the Alzheimer's epidemic, we hope to bring a meaningful improvement to the treatment of this dread disease to market within the next few years".
About Curaxis
Curaxis is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a hormone drug product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and multiple cancers. Curaxis' therapeutic platform is based on the hypothesis that many diseases of aging may be caused by age-related changes in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is a hormonal endocrine feedback loop that controls development, reproduction and aging in animals. This drug development platform is built on the premise that hormones associated with this feedback loop are beneficial early in life, when they promote growth and development, but are harmful later in life when the mechanism for feedback is compromised, thereby leading to disease processes, including pathologies associated with Alzheimer's disease and various cancers. We believe our discovery of similar hormonal signaling mechanisms at the cellular level in brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients and in multiple tumors will enable us to develop significant new treatments for Alzheimer's disease as well as many cancers.
