AntriaBio Granted European Patent Allowance for Method of Preparing Site-Specific Protein Conjugates

MENLO PARK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/13 -- AntriaBio, Inc. (OTCQB: ANTB) announced today that it has received an allowance from the European Patent Office for Patent Application No. 04759347.0 entitled "Method for Preparation of Site-Specific Protein Conjugates" with claims directed to the Company's lead diabetes product candidate, AB101. This patent was also allowed in Australia.

AB101 is a once-a-week injectable basal insulin that is currently in preclinical development. AB101 is administered by subcutaneous injection and targets patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who require basal insulin for the control of hyperglycemia.

The formulation has been designed to release insulin slowly and uniformly over a period of approximately one week without an adverse initial burst of insulin. AB101's long duration of action is the result of AntriaBio's ability to PEGylate insulin and then encapsulate it into poly-lactic, poly-glycolic (PLGA) microspheres.
