Inhibiton Therapeutics' Researcher to Present at the Ehrlich II, 2ND World Conference on "Magic Bullets"

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Inhibiton Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: IHBT) announced today that
the principal researcher for its ICA-1 compound, Dr. Mildred
Acevedo-Duncan, will present the work for ICA-1 entitled "PKC-i
inhibition by ICA-1 reduces the cell proliferation of Neuroblastoma"
at the Ehrlich II, World Conference on Magic Bullets in Nurnberg,
Germany on October 3-5, 2008.

   The ICA-1 compound has demonstrated more exacting specificity of
protein kinase C-iota and not of proteins that are closely related to
PKC-iota. These results demonstrate greater promise for the
development of a targeted therapy. Research being funded by the
Company has shown that the ICA-1 compound has been effective in
laboratory in-vitro testing in various cancer cell lines. This
research has demonstrated that inhibition of the enzyme protein kinase
C-iota is a promising means to prevent and treat certain cancers
through development of a targeted therapy.

   Previously announced laboratory testing has shown that ICA-1 was
effective in blocking BE(2)C neuroblastoma cells finding and that
lower concentrations of ICA-1 were more efficacious in inhibiting the
proliferation of 64% and 53% of the neuroblastoma cells when compared
to control groups. The effects of ICA-1 on breast cancer cells have
also obtained promising results. ICA-1 was effective in reducing the
proliferation of MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells by 83% compared to
controls when incubated with the drug for 48 hours at clinical
concentrations. For MCF-7 breast cancer cells, ICA-1 was effective in
reducing the proliferation by 32% compared to controls when treated
with the drug for 24 hours.

   These results indicate that ICA-1 has promising results for
further in-vitro studies as well as future in-vivo studies for the
potential treatment of both neuroblastoma and breast cancer.

   About the Ehrlich II, World Conference on Magic Bullets

   According to its website address www.ehrlich-2008.org "The
conference is dedicated to Paul Ehrlich and is held to commemorate the
100th anniversary of his Nobel Prize award. In his Nobel Lecture on
December 11th, 1908, Paul Ehrlich laid out the foundation of
chemotherapy and the use of drugs to cure patients. He coined the term
Magic Bullets and this term has remained in science as well as in the
lay world for particularly important and clinically efficacious drugs.

   "At this conference the discovery, development and successful use
of Magic Bullets in clinical medicine will be presented and vividly
discussed. Particular reference is given to PK/PD - relationships to
develop and use Magic Bullets in patients more rationally by use of
the modern methods of individualization of drug therapy.

   "The conference is aimed to bring together clinical and
pharmacological scientists."
