Helix BioMedix, Inc. (OTCBB:HXBM), a developer of bioactive peptides, today announced that its peptide technologies were featured in two posters presented at the 69th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in New Orleans. The research posters address a potential small molecule treatment program for cellulite as well as a possible treatment for rosacea and hyperirritable skin indications.

Entitled “Investigation into Lipolytic Compounds,” the first poster featured results from studies of Helix’s HB2032 molecule. HB2032 is a novel small adipocyte signaling molecule specifically designed to address the fat deposit aspect of cellulite. Researchers showed that HB2032 induces lipolysis, the breakdown of stored fat, in adipocytes while also reducing the rate of lipogenesis, or fat deposition. The molecule was designed to mimic the body’s natural fat metabolism signaling system, which is a critical pathway to managing cellulite.

Cellulite affects eighty to ninety percent of the adult female population in the U.S. The condition involves the microcirculatory system, lymphatic system, extracellular matrix and the presence of excess subcutaneous fat that bulges into the dermis.

“The data presented at AAD and in the results of other lab studies underscores HB2032's potential to offer a unique approach to the topical treatment of cellulite,” said R. Stephen Beatty, President and CEO of Helix BioMedix. “Cellulite is a challenging and multi-faceted condition to treat. The advancement of this small molecule option may provide deliverable bioactivity previously unavailable in the form of a topical treatment.”

In addition, Helix BioMedix technology was also presented in a poster by Drs. Rodan and Fields entitled “Down-regulation of Cathelicidin Activity for Management of Rosacea-related Symptoms and Hyperirritable Skin.” The poster discussed the use of skin-signaling peptides and targeted protease inhibition as a means of moderating inflammatory triggers.

The posters will be available for review at www.helixbiomedix.com.
