PR Newswire Posted 9:15 AM 03/07/12
BETHESDA, Md., March 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Spherix Incorporated (NASDAQ: SPEX) – an innovator in biotechnology for therapy in diabetes, metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis, and provider of technical and regulatory consulting services to food, supplement, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies – today announced that one of its drug candidates, SPX-106T, arrested development and reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in the aortic arch, thoracic aorta and sinus of Valsalva in mice genetically predisposed to cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis can lead to myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Each year, about 770,000 people in the United States experience their first MI, and about one-third of these events are fatal.(1-3)

Two groups of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (control and SPX-106T) were each fed a Western diet (high in fat and carbohydrates) for eight weeks. In the SPX-106T group, the sucrose portion of the dietary carbohydrates was replaced with D-tagatose and SPX-106 was added at 0.1%. Plaque area was quantified at three locations: the sinus of Valsalva on top of the heart, aortic arch, and thoracic aorta (Figure 1a). SPX-106T reduced atherosclerotic plaque areas almost 5-fold in all locations (p<0.05 in thoracic aorta, p≤0.01 in aortic arch and sinus of Valsalva). Photomicrographs of the sinus of Valsalva illustrate the reduction of atherosclerosis with SPX-106T (Figure 1b).
These results expand on previous work done by Spherix, which was presented at the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) 2011 national meeting in October, showing that SPX-106T significantly reduced serum cholesterol, the amount of subcutaneous, retroperitoneal, and epididymal body fat, and prevented body weight gain. These data also support Spherix's other findings that SPX-106T reduced atherosclerotic lesion areas in the aortic arches of LDL receptor-deficient mice fed fructose and glucose.
"As we continue the development program for SPX-106T, we are gaining valuable insight into the therapeutic potential for SPX-106T. We are looking forward to bringing SPX-106T into human clinical trials in 2012," noted Dr. Claire Kruger, CEO of Spherix.
LDL-cholesterol is a known risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis in humans.(4) Spherix has previously shown that LDL-cholesterol is reduced in LDL receptor-deficient mice treated with SPX-106T.
"This is a very exciting time for Spherix," remarked Dr. Robert Lodder, Spherix's President. "We have now tested SPX-106T in two different genetic models and are looking into the underlying mechanisms by which SPX-106T prevents plaque development in the apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. We are also expanding the applications of SPX-106T to other indications where dyslipidemia may be a primary risk factor."

It dawned on kajulie and I that this company is trading well below it's cash value alone which is why i called the T/A and then the company. Got a call back not long ago from an adviser to the company who verified the O/S and cash. The shares are a bit higher than listed on Yahoo finance as a result of an offering that opened on 2 Feb and closed on 7 Feb.
Spherix has issued an aggregate of 1,064,815 shares of common stock at a price of $1.08 per share along with warrants to purchase an additional 212,963 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share.
With $5.02 million in cash and the O/S would value the companies share price at approx $1.2044/share and closed today at .82 and that's with just the cash and no news/assets or about .40/share and that's a nice gain. Nothing else. Chart is shaping up as well. As for volume, well this Biotech hasn't been noticed yet. ioo it's one of those rare diamonds you don't find every day. Best to all..

http://seekingalpha.com/article/...nt-monetization?source=feedSummary
•Spherix is a $71 million company owning over 300 patents that could turn into billions of dollars through litigation, licensing or outright sale.
•Spherix's reverse merger resulted in a complex share structure that nevertheless incentivizes institutional backers toward higher share prices.
•Spherix's lawyer-turned-CEO Anthony Hayes rewarded all shareholders with a 5x cash return on his most recent public company project.
Spherix (SPEX) is a low float Nasdaq stock that turns intellectual property ("IP") into money through selling, litigating and/or licensing these intangible assets. The company is led by a lawyer who rewarded Mango Capital shareholders with a 5x cash return by monetizing an obscure patent portfolio. Boasting over 90% insider and institutional ownership, Spherix is backed by some of the most successful IP investors in the world, including Apple (AAPL), and has five active lawsuits: one major lawsuit against Cisco (CSCO) and four others against Uniden, AT&T (T), VTech (OTCPK:VTKLY) and T-Mobile (TMUS). As Spherix pursues its aggressive strategy, I wanted to update my research on this young company.
Already a Record-Setting Year for IP
Spherix has enjoyed rapid growth along with the overall IP monetization sector. As PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted, 2014 is already breaking all-time records. Patent lawsuit filings increased by over 30% during the past 12 months, and courts are awarding the largest patent infringement damages ever.
