Business Description

Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd., a Nevada corporation, was formed in January 31, 2006. The Company is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, and is engaged in biomedical product development in the area of women’s health.  The Company’s mission is to provide solutions to women’s health issues surrounding pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal and post-menopausal conditions. The Company intends to develop non-hormonal treatments, and address the specific need for a non-hormonal solution to “Hot-Flushes”, a common symptom experienced by many pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women.

The Company is in the process of developing a novel treatment for climacteric (menopausal) symptoms, has filed a Provisional Patent Application, USPTO No. 60/719,756, and a Patent Pending Application USPTO No. 11/523,975, which covers a novel indication for an existing FDA cleared prescription drug, Tropine 3 (“Homatropine”). Tropine 3 is an orally ingested prescription product containing Homatropine, which is intended to reduce climacteric symptoms and improve quality of life in menopausal women who are experiencing “hot flashes” and “night sweats”, but who are not receiving hormone replacement therapy (“HRT”).  Homatropine (Equipin, Isopto Homatropine) is an anticholinergic medication that inhibits muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and thus the parasympathetic nervous system.

The Company has also developed a Clinical Trial Protocol for a Phase I/II, Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Escalation, Open Label Study to Test the Efficacy and Safety of Homatropine Methylbromide Oral Suspension on Selected Climacteric Symptoms and Quality of Life in Menopausal Women Not Receiving HRT   for its new drug indication and will execute the Trial with the goal of generating data that supports its claims. The Company has retained a team of medical professionals and is preparing the Protocol in order to begin a Clinical Trial (the “Study”) for FDA approval of Tropine 3 containing Homatropine in oral suspension.  The purpose of the Study is to look at the effectiveness and safety of the drug Homatropine, to see if it will provide relief of hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause symptoms, and improve the quality of life in women. The Company’s goal is to complete the study, barring any unforeseen delays, by the end of the 2 nd calendar quarter of 2013.  Provided that the data supports the Company’s Claims it has outlined its Patent Application, it will present the information to the FDA for review.  The Company anticipates that the FDA will request a Phase III Trial to be conducted by the Company prior to a review for consideration of Tropine 3 receiving an FDA Approval.

The Company has recently finished its first Clinical Trial Protocol and is prepared to conduct the Study. The purpose of the Study will be to demonstrate that Tropine 3, its novel new indication of Homatropine, and existing FDA Approved drug currently used to treat heavy coughing, has the ability to provide relief to pre-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women suffering from hot flashes. The Company’s technical mission is to prove its central thesis that Homatropine in an oral suspension formula can reduce hot flashes in pre-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women through multiple clinical trial validations.

The Market

Pre-Menopausal, Menopausal & Post-Menopausal

The climacteric (also known as menopause) is defined as the syndrome of endocrine (hormonal), somatic (bodily) and psychological changes occurring at the termination of the reproductive period in the female. According to the Greene Climacteric scale,  there are 21 common symptoms associated with a woman’s climacteric stage, namely heart beating quickly or strongly, feeling tense or nervous, difficulty in sleeping, excitability, attacks of panic, difficulty in concentrating, feeling tired or lacking in energy, loss of interest in most things, feeling unhappy or depressed, crying spells, irritability, feeling dizzy or faint, pressure or tightness in head or body, parts of the body feel numb or tingling, headaches, muscle and joint pains, loss of feeling in hands and feet, breathing difficulties, hot flushes, sweating at night, and loss of interest in sex. Other symptoms commonly experienced in climacteric women include urinary frequency and urgency, palpitations, and anxiety.
 
 

 

About 50 million women in the United States alone, experience hot flashes. Eighty-five percent of the women in the United States experience hot flashes of some kind as they approach menopause and for the first year or two after their periods stop. Between 20% and 50% of women continue to have them for many more years. As time goes on, the intensity decreases.  The women’s health market as it pertains to menopause is approximately 26.8 million women and is expected to grow to over 50 million as the baby boomers start to enter this phase of their life.  Though there are many issues affecting women in the menopausal age the biggest factors focus on hormonal replacement therapies and the treatments association to breast cancer.

Menopause is a normal part of life, just like puberty. It is the time of a woman’s last period, but symptoms can begin several years earlier. Some symptoms of menopause can last for months or years after. Changing levels of estrogen and progesterone, which are two female hormones made in a women’s ovaries, might lead to these symptoms. This time of change is known as the menopausal transition, but many women and their doctors also call it peri-menopause. It can begin several years before a women’s last menstrual period. Peri-menopause lasts for 1 year after a women’s last period. After a full year without a period, women can say they have been "through menopause." Post-menopause follows menopause and lasts the rest of their life.

The average age of a woman having her last period, menopause, is 51. But, some women have their last period in their forties, and some have it later in their fifties. Smoking can lead to early menopause. So can some types of operations. For example, surgery to remove a uterus (called a hysterectomy) will make a woman’s periods stop, and that is menopause. A woman might not have menopause symptoms like hot flashes immediately, however, because, if her ovaries are untouched, they still make hormones. In time, when the ovaries start to make less estrogen, menopause symptoms could start. But, sometimes both ovaries are removed (called an oophorectomy), usually along with her uterus. That is menopause too. In this case, menopause symptoms can start right away; no matter what age a woman is, because her body has lost its main supply of estrogen.
 
According to the recent study “Women’s Health Therapeutics Market to 2017” (“GBI Study”) by GBI Research issued in January 1, 2012, there continues to be a “high unmet need will drive uptake of novel drugs”. GBI Research finds that the women’s health therapeutics market will grow rapidly, largely due to the introduction of new therapies and the increased awareness among patients and physicians in two of the largest segments within women’s health disorders, the menopause and osteoporosis areas. According to the GBI Research Study, Novel non-hormonal therapeutics will become more popular during the forecast period. The GBI Study further overall women’s health therapeutics market is driven by postmenopausal osteoporosis and menopause.

According to the GBI Study the women’s health therapeutics market research and development pipeline is only moderately strong, with the majority of first-in-class drugs in late stages of development. These drugs are expected to drive market revenues and it is expected that, if they are approved and are shown to have better safety profiles, patients will comply with novel therapies. In particular, non-hormones are set to take over the conventional hormone therapeutics market.

In 2010, the global women’s health therapeutics market was estimated to be worth $14,530,000, after a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 3.5% between 2002 and 2010. By 2017, the market is estimated to reach $24.6 billion, indicating a CAGR of 7.9% between 2010 and 2017. Owing to several factors such as the publication of the Women’s Health Initiative (“WHI”) study results, and a lack of effective therapeutics, the women’s health therapeutics market grew only moderately between 2002 and 2010. However, the launch of novel therapeutics in the near future is expected to satisfy the unmet need in the market. This will have a pronounced effect on positive growth in the menopause therapeutics market.

The Company believes that the menopausal market has considerable unmet need, as the fear of diseases that have, in certain studies (“2002 Women’s Health Initiative”) been linked to hormonal therapeutics. Hormones have been shown to be associated with significant safety issues such as risks of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Hence, the use of hormones has declined and women are worried about resuming hormonal therapy for the treatment of the menopause/osteoporosis. There is an opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs with greater safety profiles and more competitive prices.

Menopause Advertising

Menopausal advertising is currently a real challenge, and it appears that, unless real change occurs in the public perception of menopause, it will continue to be a challenge.  Unfortunately, advertisers consistently project negative images of menopause in order to promote their products since fear of the lack of sex also sells and in doing so they perpetuate the myth.  The overwhelming message is that unless women actually do something about this dreadful impending thing called menopause, they will not be “slim, sane and sexy”.  The media plays into that message as well.

 
 

 
The underlying message communicated by advertisers is that women must project an image that equates to reproductive viability in order to be of any true value to society. If women cannot attract a mate in order to reproduce they are of no true use except possibly as grandmothers. Menopause by definition means they cannot reproduce.

Hormonal Replacement Therapy

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (“USPSTF”), an independent group of health experts convened at the request of Congress, first hinted that HRT may be too risky for long-term use in 2005. At that time, after reviewing the available data, the task force warned women against relying on HRT to prevent chronic conditions like heart disease and dementia. Some earlier studies had suggested that the supplemental hormones that women take to relieve night sweats and hot flashes associated with menopause could also protect the heart and brain from aging-related decline. Use of hormone therapy declined, however, after a 2002 WHI study found little difference in rates of heart disease among women who used HRT and those who did not. Instead, the study reported HRT might increase the risks of heart disease and breast cancer.

In the past, HRT was widely recommended for the treatment of menopause and menopausal symptoms, as well as for the prevention of osteoporosis and heart disease. The large study, conducted in 2002 by WHI, shed new light on how HRT is viewed.  HRT is used to supplement the body with either estrogen alone or estrogen and progesterone in combination during and after menopause. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that are produced by a woman's ovaries. As menopause nears, the ovaries reduce most of their production of these hormones. Lowered or fluctuating estrogen levels may cause menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, and medical conditions such as osteoporosis. When the ovaries no longer produce adequate amounts of estrogen and progesterone (as in menopause), HRT can be given to supplement the body with adequate levels.

Estrogen and progesterone together thicken the lining of the uterus, preparing it for the possible implantation of a fertilized egg. Estrogen also influences how the body uses calcium, an important mineral in the building of bones, and helps maintain healthy levels of cholesterol in the blood. Estrogen also keeps the vagina healthy. Hormone therapy helps to replenish the estrogen, relieving some of the symptoms of menopause when they are moderate to severe. They are no longer recommended, however, to prevent chronic diseases.

Progesterone is used along with estrogen in women who still have their uterus. In these women, if taken without progesterone, estrogen increases the risk for cancer of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). During a woman's reproductive years, endometrial cells are shed during menstruation. When the endometrium is no longer shed, estrogen can cause an overgrowth of cells in the uterus, a condition that can lead to cancer.

Progesterone reduces the risk of endometrial cancer by making the endometrium shed each month. As a result, women who take progesterone may have monthly bleeding. Monthly bleeding can be lessened and, in some cases, eliminated by taking progesterone and estrogen together continuously. Women who have had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through surgery) usually do not need to take progesterone.

There are two main types of hormone replacement therapy :

Estrogen Therapy:   Estrogen is taken alone. Doctors most often prescribe a low dose of estrogen to be taken as a pill or patch every day. Estrogen may also be prescribed as a cream. The lowest dose of estrogen needed to relieve menopause symptoms is recommended.  Estrogen is prescribed to relieve:
 

   §  
Hot flashes
§  
Vaginal dryness that can result in painful intercourse
§  
Other problematic symptoms of menopause, such as night sweats and dry, itchy skin

Progesterone/Progestin-Estrogen Hormone Therapy:   Also called combination therapy, this form of HRT combines doses of estrogen and progesterone (progestin is a synthetic form of progesterone). Estrogen and a lower dose of progesterone also may be given continuously to prevent the regular, monthly bleeding that can occur when combination HRT is used. The current recommendation is to take the lowest dose of hormone therapy for the shortest time possible. Progestins do cause side effects, including irregular bleeding and fluid retention. Progestins, such as Provera, are a synthetic version of progesterone, which is the chemical equivalent to the progesterone produced by the body. Like all prescription medications, HRT should be re-evaluated each year.

Hormone replacement therapy is not usually recommended for women who have:

§  
Active or past breast cancer
§  
Recurrent or active endometrial cancer
§  
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
§  
Recurrent or active blood clots
§  
History of stroke
§  
Liver disease
§  
Known or suspected pregnancy

 
 

 
Side Effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy

There are no prescription medications that are as effective as estrogen for the treatment of hot flushes, but many have a positive impact for some women. Unfortunately, all have side effects that balance their clinical use.

Like almost all medications, hormone replacement therapy has side effects. The most common side effects are:

§  
Monthly bleeding
§  
Irregular spotting
§  
Breast tenderness

Less common side effects of HRT include:

§  
Blood clots and stroke (rare, but the most serious risk)
§  
Fluid retention
§  
Headaches (including migraine)
§  
Dizziness
§  
Skin discoloration (brown or black patches)
§  
Increased breast density (making mammogram evaluation more difficult)
§  
Skin irritation under estrogen patch

The 2002 WHI study was the largest placebo controlled study of hormone replacement therapy to date, and showed an increase in thromboembolism (blood clots), stroke, and breast cancer in the estrogen-progestin group, leaving many women with the uncomfortable feeling that they were compromising their long-term health by using hormone therapy.

         The most recent analysis conducted by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), confirmed that the risks of HRT outweigh its potential benefits, based on a review of 51 studies published since 2002 through the Annals of Internal Medicine online. Overall, the data showed that HRT, which combines estrogen and progestin, is linked to increased risk of stroke, blood clots, gallbladder disease, urinary incontinence, and dementia and breast cancer. The risks remained significant, even among women who have had a hysterectomy, and who only need to take estrogen, not progestin, to protect endometrial tissue.  The USPSTF found that the only benefit of HRT, outside of relieving menopause symptoms, was a lower risk of bone fractures, and concluded that the risks far outweighed this improvement.  For women at average-risk of heart disease or breast cancer, which make up the majority of those who might take HRT during menopause, peri-menopause and post menopause, the Task Force recommended against long-term use of the hormones. Accordingly, there is a need for effective treatment regimens for relieving symptoms of menopause. The Company’s present invention meets this long-felt need.

Alternatives, Natural Treatment, and Competition

 HRT was long the standard treatment for menopause, however, since it is now known that traditional HRT using synthetic estrogen and progestins increases the risk of breast cancer and heart disease, many women and healthcare providers are no longer routinely asking for or prescribing traditional estrogen replacement therapy, but rather are seeking alternative treatments,

 
 

 
The alternatives to hormone replacement therapy range between prescription drugs that consist of slightly different hormone formulations, nutritional supplements made of herbs and vitamins, soy products said to be natural sources of estrogen, lifestyle changes, and even what might be termed menopause accessories, such as one company's ''cooling comfort towelettes'' to wipe the sweat from hot flashes.

Alternative Prescriptions

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (“SSRIs”) are a class of anti-depressants most commonly used in the treatment of depression, and some personality disorders. They have been found as efficient in alleviating hot flashes.  Venlafaxine (Effexor), paroxetine (Paxil), and fluoxetine (Prozac), have all shown an approximate 60% reduction in hot flushes but with side effects common to the SSRIs.

Clonidine, more commonly used for high blood pressure, has a 50% reduction in menopausal symptoms, but causes dry mouth, sedation and hypotension. Gabapentin, an anti-seizure medication, has a 45% reduction in frequency, and 54% decrease in menopausal symptom severity but can cause somnolence, fatigue, tremors, nausea, edema and ataxia.

Natural Alternatives

More and more women every day are turning to natural alternative treatments to treat the symptoms they experience during menopause including hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. There are several natural ways to ease the symptoms of menopause.

Natural estrogen compounds are available by prescription from compounding pharmacists. These types of estrogen are bio-identical -- they are chemically equal to the estrogen produced naturally in a woman’s body. There are 3 types of estrogens commonly used in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. These are: Estrone (E1); Estradiol (E2), and Estriol (E3). Estrone and estradiol cause most of the risks associated with estrogen use. Natural or bio-identical estrogen compounds are prepared in any combination or number of these 3 types of estrogen; the most common formulation is 10 percent Estrone, 10 percent Estradiol, and 80 percent Estriol--called Tri-estrogen or Tri-est. A two estrogen bio-identical compound is called bi-estrogen.

Natural progesterone is an important component in menopausal symptom management for many women. It's available over-the-counter in products such as Pro-Gest, in compounded prescriptions, and a pharmaceutical called Prometrium. The benefit of using a cream product over an oral form is that you need a much lower dose because it does not have to be metabolized by the liver. Natural progesterone causes virtually no side effects.

There is also evidence which suggests that red clover isoflavones decrease the incidence of hot flashes. In one study, after 8 weeks using Promensil, a dietary supplement formulated with red clover isoflavones, at a dose of 40mg daily, participants experienced a 58% decrease in the number of hot flashes experienced.  Study participants also experienced a significant reduction in the severity of night sweats. Promensil is available over-the-counter, without a prescription, at retail grocery, drug, and health food stores.

Black Cohash is an herbal supplement, which has been shown to have benefit for hot flashes without altering FSH levels or endometrial thickness.  Side effects such as nausea, headaches, dizziness and liver toxicity have been reported. A black cohash/St John’s Wort combination has been shown to reduce the Menopause rating scale by 50% and the Hamilton Depression Scale by 41%.

There have also been several clinical trials using flaxseed. Flaxseed is the richest source of lignans, an anti-oxidant, which is one of three major classes of phytoestrogen.  Lignans are thought to have estrogen agonist and antagonist effects as well as antioxidant properties. Flaxseed and its lignans may have potent anti-estrogenic effects on estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and may have benefits in breast cancer prevention efforts.

Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle changes may help alleviate hot flashes.  A diet is an important tool that a woman can use to help control their menopausal symptoms. Foods to avoid include high amounts of caffeine in any foods, carbonated beverages (which contain phosphorous and can increase bone loss), hot drinks, chocolate, spicy or hot foods and alcohol.  Also, limit its consumption of commercially raised meats including beef, pork, and chicken because these meats contain a high amount of saturated fats and decrease the body's ability to metabolize estrogen. Excessive sugar intake also limits the liver's ability to metabolize estrogen and impairs the immune system.

Increasing the intake of foods that contain phytoestrogens, including soy, is also recommended. Other foods that should be included in a woman’s diet include grains, oats, wheat, brown rice, tofu, almonds, cashews, and fresh fruits and vegetables.   According to research published by the Journal of the British Menopause Society, red clover isoflavones supplements, used in controlled studies, have been shown to have a significant positive effect on the rate of bone loss, improve cardiovascular health, and may offer some protective effect against breast and endometrial cancer.

 
 

 
In addition, women need to get plenty of regular exercise. Exercise is probably the single most important thing a woman can do to improve her overall health and well being throughout her life. Regular exercise (at least 3 or 4 days a week) helps prevent and reduce bone loss, and plays a key role in reducing the risk of many types of cancer, as well as heart disease.

Although these treatments work for many women,  every woman is different and it may take some time for a woman to find which treatments, or combination of treatments, work best Dressing in layers, wearing breathable clothing such as cotton and natural linen, and using fans, may aid in comfort. . It is always recommended for a woman to inform her healthcare provider of any natural alternative treatments being considered and/or used--this includes all vitamins, herbs, creams, etc.

Strategic Plan

Phase I & II Clinical Trial, Phase III Clinical Trial

The Company has retained a team of medical professionals and has recently completed the Study Protocol that will be used to conduct the Clinical Trial.  The purpose of the Study is to look at the effectiveness and safety of the drug Homatropine, to see if it will provide relief of hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause symptoms, and improve the quality of life in women.  The Company anticipates that the Study will be completed, barring any unforeseen delays, by the end of the 2 nd calendar quarter of 2013, at which time the Company will commence marketing the product.

The Company will conduct multiple Clinical Trials in Phase I-Phase II & Phase III of Tropine 3.  The first Trial will be a Phase 1-2, prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation, parallel group study to test the efficacy and safety of homatropine methylbromide oral suspension on selected climacteric symptoms and quality of life in menopausal Women not receiving hormonal replacement therapy.

The Company intends on conducting these Trials at multiple sites.  Thereafter, the Company intends to publish its results in medical journals and women’s health publications.

Intellectual Property

The Company is in the process of obtaining an exclusive patent for its novel method for alleviating hot flushes in climacteric women. The US Patent Application, referenced below, covers the method involved in administering to a climacteric woman a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent, thereby alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in the woman. In some embodiments, the anticholinergic agent is homatropine, or a salt thereof.

Government Regulations

The health care industry, and thus the Company’s business, is subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign regulation. Some of the pertinent laws have not been definitively interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of subjective interpretations. In addition, these laws and their interpretations are subject to change.

Both federal and state governmental agencies continue to subject the health care industry to intense regulatory scrutiny, including heightened civil and criminal enforcement efforts. As indicated by work plans and reports issued by these agencies, the federal government will continue to scrutinize all companies in the health care field. The federal government also has increased funding in recent years to fight health care fraud, and various agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG, and state Medicaid fraud control units, are coordinating their enforcement efforts.

The Company must also comply with numerous other federal, state, and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, environmental protection, industrial safety, and hazardous substance disposal. The Company may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future, and lack of compliance could have material adverse effects on the Company’s operations.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below when considering an investment in the Company’s common stock. If any of the events contemplated by the following discussion of risks should occur, its business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer significantly. As a result, you could lose some or all of your investment in the Company’s common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair its business.

Risks Associated With The Company

The Company currently has generated no product revenues, has no products approved for marketing, and will need to raise additional capital to operate its business.
 
To date, the Company has generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, the Company receives approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA for one or more of its drug candidates, the Company cannot market or sell its products and will not be able to generate product revenues. The Company’s drug candidate is in the early stages of development and will require significant time and capital to bring to market. Therefore, for the foreseeable future the Company does not expect to generate any product revenues and will be required to fund all of its operations and capital expenditures from cash on hand and future offerings. Currently, the Company believes that its cash on hand is sufficient to fund its operations for the next 12 months. However, changes may occur that would exhaust its available capital before that time, including changes in and progression of its development activities, acquisitions of additional drug candidates and changes in regulation. The Company will be required to seek additional sources of financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If the Company does not succeed in raising additional funds in a timely manner and on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to complete planned pre-clinical and clinical trials or obtain approval of its drug candidates from the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of additional equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s stockholders.
 
 
 

 
The Company has a limited operating history and is not profitable and may never become profitable.
 
The Company has an accumulated deficit of $96,599 and a working capital deficit of $51,147 as of July 31, 2012, and no meaningful operations upon which to evaluate its business. The Company expects to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future as the Company commences development of its drug candidates. Even if the Company succeeds in developing and commercializing one or more drug candidates, the Company expects to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. The successful development and commercialization of any drug candidates will require the Company to perform a variety of functions, including:
 
§   
undertaking pre-clinical development and clinical trials;
 
§   
hiring additional personnel
 
§   
participating in the regulatory approval processes
 
§   
formulating and manufacturing products;
 
§   
initiating and conducting sales and marketing activities; and
 
§   
implementing additional internal systems and infrastructure.


The Company will likely need to raise additional capital in order to fund its business and generate significant revenue in order to achieve and maintain profitability. The Company may not be able to generate this revenue, raise additional capital or achieve profitability in the future. The Company’s failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of its common stock.
 
The Company is heavily dependent on the success of Tropine 3, the Company’s lead drug candidate, which is still under clinical development, and the Company cannot be certain that Tropine 3 will receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized even if the Company receive regulatory approval.
 
The Company currently has no products that are approved for commercial sale and may never be able to develop marketable drug products. The Company expects that a substantial portion of its efforts and expenditures over the coming months will be devoted to its lead drug candidate, Tropine 3. Accordingly, its business currently depends heavily on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of Tropine 3. The Company cannot be certain that Tropine 3 will receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized even if the Company receives regulatory approval. The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, sale, marketing and distribution of drug products are, and will remain, subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries, which regulations differ from country to country. The Company is not permitted to market Tropine 3 in the United States until it receives approval of a New Drug Application, or NDA, from the FDA, or in any foreign countries until it receives the requisite approval from such countries. The Company has not submitted an NDA to the FDA or comparable applications to other regulatory authorities. Obtaining approval of an NDA is an extensive, lengthy, expensive and inherently uncertain process, and the FDA may delay, limit or deny approval of Tropine 3 for many reasons, including:
 
§   
we may not be able to demonstrate that Tropine 3 is safe and effective as a treatment for its targeted indications to the satisfaction of the FDA;
 
§   
the results of its clinical studies may not meet the level of statistical or clinical significance required by the FDA for marketing approval;
 
§   
the FDA may disagree with the number, design, size, conduct or implementation of its clinical studies;
 
§   
the FDA may not find the data from pre-clinical studies and clinical studies sufficient to demonstrate that the clinical and other benefits of Tropine 3 outweigh its safety risks;
 
§   
the FDA may disagree with its interpretation of data from its pre-clinical studies and clinical studies or may require that the Company conduct additional studies;
 
§   
the FDA may not accept data generated at its clinical study sites;
 
§   
the FDA may identify deficiencies in the manufacturing processes or facilities of its third-party manufacturers; or
 
§   
the FDA may change its approval policies or adopt new regulations.

 
 

 
If the Company is unable to hire additional qualified personnel, its ability to grow its business may be harmed.
 
The Company currently relies heavily on its President and Chief Executive Officer, and its future success depends on its ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled scientific, technical, marketing, managerial and financial personnel. Although the Company will seek to hire and retain qualified personnel with experience and abilities commensurate with its needs, there is no assurance that the Company will succeed despite its collective efforts.
 
The Company may not successfully manage its growth.
 
The Company’s success will depend upon the expansion of its operations and its ability to successfully manage its growth. The Company’s future growth, if any, may place a significant strain on its management and on its administrative, operational and financial resources. The Company’s ability to manage its growth effectively will require the Company to implement and improve its operational, financial and management systems and to expand, train, manage and motivate its employees. These demands may require the hiring of additional management personnel and the development of additional expertise by management. Any increase in resources devoted to research and product development without a corresponding increase in its operational, financial and management systems could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Clinical trials are very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to design and implement.
 
The Company’s drug candidate is still in development and will require extensive clinical testing before the Company is prepared to submit a NDA for regulatory approval. Human clinical trials are very expensive and difficult to design and implement, in part because they are subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. The clinical trial process is also time-consuming. Furthermore, failure can occur at any stage of the trials, and the Company could encounter problems that cause the Company to abandon or repeat clinical trials. The commencement and completion of clinical trials may be delayed by several factors, including:
 
§   
failure to obtain regulatory and approval by an independent institutional review board;
 
§   
unforeseen safety issues;
 
§   
lack of effectiveness during clinical trials;
 
§   
slower than expected rates of patient recruitment;
 
§   
failure to manufacture sufficient quantities of a drug candidate for use in clinical trials;
 
§   
inability to monitor patients adequately during or after treatment; and
 
§   
inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow its clinical protocols.

Any of these occurrences may harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Enrollment and retention of patients in clinical trials is an expensive and time-consuming process, and could be made more difficult or rendered impossible by multiple factors outside the Company’s control.
 
The Company may encounter delays in enrolling, or be unable to enroll, a sufficient number of patients to complete any of its clinical trials, and even once enrolled the Company may be unable to retain a sufficient number of patients to complete any of its trials. Patient enrollment and retention in clinical trials depend on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the trial protocol, the existing body of safety and efficacy data with respect to the study drug, the number and nature of competing treatments and ongoing clinical trials of competing drugs for the same indication, the proximity of patients to clinical sites and the eligibility criteria for the study. Furthermore, any negative results the Company may report in clinical trials of any of its drug candidates may make it difficult or impossible to recruit and retain patients in other clinical studies of that same drug candidate. Delays or failures in planned patient enrollment and/or retention may result in increased costs, program delays or both, which could have a harmful effect on its ability to develop its drug candidates, or could render further development impossible.
 
The results of the Company’s clinical trials may not support the Company’s drug candidate claims.
 
Even if the Company’s clinical trials are completed as planned, the Company cannot be certain that their results will support the safety and effectiveness of its drug candidates for its targeted indications. Success in pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and the Company cannot be sure that the results of later clinical trials will replicate the results of prior clinical trials and pre-clinical testing. A failure of a clinical trial to meet its predetermined endpoints would likely cause the Company to abandon a drug candidate and may delay development of other drug candidates. Any delay in, or termination of, its clinical trials will delay the filing of its NDAs with the FDA and, ultimately, its ability to commercialize its drug candidates and generate product revenues.
 
 
 

 
Physicians and patients may not accept and use the Company’s drugs.
 
Even if the FDA approves one or more of the Company’s drug candidates, physicians and patients may not accept and use them. Acceptance and use of the Company’s product will depend upon a number of factors including:
 
§   
perceptions by members of the health care community, including physicians, about the safety and effectiveness of the Company’s drug;
 
§   
cost-effectiveness of the Company’s product relative to competing products;
 
§   
availability of reimbursement for the Company’s product from government or other healthcare payors; and
 
§   
effectiveness of marketing and distribution efforts by the Company and its licensees and distributors, if any.
 
Because the Company expects sales of its current drug candidate, if approved, to generate substantially all of its product revenues for the foreseeable future, the failure of these drugs to find market acceptance would harm the Company’s business and could require the Company to seek additional financing.
 
The Company will rely exclusively on third parties to formulate and manufacture its drug candidates. The commercialization of any of the Company’s drug candidates could be stopped, delayed or made less profitable if those third parties fail to provide the Company with sufficient quantities of product or fail to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices .
 
The Company has no experience in drug formulation or manufacturing and do not intend to establish its own manufacturing facilities. The Company lacks the resources and expertise to formulate or manufacture its own drug candidates. The Company currently has no agreements for the clinical or commercial scale manufacture of its drug candidates. The Company intends to enter into agreements with one or more manufacturers, to manufacture, supply, store and distribute drug supplies for its clinical trials. Additionally, if the Company’s current drug candidate, or any drug candidates the Company may develop or acquire in the future, receives FDA approval, the Company will rely on one or more third-party contractors to manufacture the commercial supply of its drugs. The Company’s anticipated future reliance on a limited number of third-party manufacturers exposes the Company to the following risks:
 
§  
The Company may be unable to identify manufacturers on acceptable terms or at all because the number of potential manufacturers is limited and the FDA must approve any replacement contractor. This approval would require new testing and compliance inspections. In addition, a new manufacturer would have to be educated in, or develop substantially equivalent processes for, production of the Company’s products after receipt of FDA approval, if any.
 
§  
The Company’s third-party manufacturers might be unable to formulate and manufacture its drugs in the volume and of the quality required to meet its clinical needs and commercial needs, if any.
 
§  
The Company’s future contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to supply its clinical trials or to successfully produce, store and distribute its products.
 
§  
Drug manufacturers are subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspection by the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and corresponding state agencies to ensure strict compliance with regulations on current good manufacturing practices and other government regulations and corresponding foreign standards. The Company do not have control over third-party manufacturers’ compliance with these regulations and standards.
 
§  
If any third-party manufacturer makes improvements in the manufacturing process for its products, the Company may not own, or may have to share, the intellectual property rights to the innovation.
 
Each of these risks could delay the Company’s clinical trials, the approval, if any, of its drug candidates by the FDA, or the commercialization of its drug candidates, or result in higher costs or deprive the Company of potential product revenues.
 
Health care reform measures may hinder or prevent the Company’s drug candidates’ commercial success.
 
The United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could affect the Company’s ability to sell its products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.
 
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, (“PPACA”), became law in the United States. The PPACA substantially changes the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers and significantly affects the pharmaceutical industry. While a number of states have challenged the constitutionality of certain provisions of the PPACA, many of these challenges are still pending final adjudication in several jurisdictions. Congress has also proposed a number of legislative initiatives, including possible repeal of the PPACA. At this time, it remains unclear whether there will be any changes made to the PPACA, whether to certain provisions or its entirety.
 
 
 

 
The PPACA, as currently enacted or as amended in the future, may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results, and the Company cannot predict all of the ways in which future federal or state legislative or administrative changes relating to healthcare reform will affect its business. Nevertheless, the Company anticipates that the PPACA, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and in additional downward pressure on the price that the Company receives for any approved product, and could seriously harm its business. Any reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors, could affect the sale of its product, market acceptance of its products and expected revenue and profitability which would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
 
If the Company cannot compete successfully for market share against other drug companies, the Company may not achieve sufficient product revenue and its business will suffer.
 
The market for the Company’s drug candidates is characterized by intense competition and rapid technological advances. If any of the Company’s drug candidates receives FDA approval, it will compete with a number of existing and future drugs and therapies that are developed, manufactured and marketed by others. Existing or future competing products may provide greater therapeutic convenience or clinical or other benefits for a specific indication than the Company’s products, or may offer comparable performance at a lower cost. In addition, a large number of companies are pursuing the development of pharmaceuticals that target the same diseases and conditions that the Company is targeting. If the Company’s products fail to capture and maintain market share, the Company may not achieve sufficient product revenue and its business will suffer.
 
The Company will compete against fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and smaller companies that are collaborating with larger pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations. Many of these competitors, either alone or together with their collaborative partners, operate larger research and development programs or have substantially greater financial resources than the Company does, as well as significantly greater experience in:
 
§   
developing drugs;
 
§   
undertaking pre-clinical testing and clinical trials;
 
§   
obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of drugs;
 
§   
formulating and manufacturing drugs; and
 
§   
launching, marketing and selling drugs.

The Company’s ability to generate product revenues will be diminished if its drugs sell for inadequate prices or patients are unable to obtain adequate levels of reimbursement.
 
The Company’s ability to commercialize its drugs, alone or with collaborators, will depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement will be available from:
 
§   
government and health administration authorities;
 
§   
private health maintenance organizations and health insurers; and
 
§   
other healthcare payors.
 
Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. As a result, the Company may not achieve sufficient product revenue and its business will suffer.

Competition

Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources and larger, more established marketing, sales and distribution systems than the Company does. Many of the Company’s competitors also offer broader product lines and have greater brand recognition than the Company does. Moreover, the Company’s competitors may make rapid technological developments that may result in its technologies and products becoming obsolete before the Company recovers the expenses incurred to develop them or before they generate significant revenue. The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to develop its products in a timely manner, keep its products current with advancing technologies, achieve market acceptance of its products, gain name recognition and a positive reputation in the healthcare industry, and establish successful marketing, sales and distribution efforts.
 
 
 

 
Risks Related to The Company’s Intellectual Property
 
The Company’s proprietary rights may not adequately protect its intellectual property and potential products, and if the Company cannot obtain adequate protection of its intellectual property and potential products, the Company may not be able to successfully market its potential products.
 
The Company’s commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining intellectual property protection for its products, formulations, processes, methods and other technologies. The Company will only be able to protect these technologies and products from unauthorized use by third parties to the extent that valid and enforceable intellectual property rights, including patents, cover them or other market exclusionary rights apply. In addition, others may independently develop similar or alternative products and technologies that may be outside the scope of its intellectual property. Furthermore, others may have invented technology claimed by its patents before the Company or its licensors did so, and they may have filed patents claiming such technology before the Company did so, weakening its ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for such technology. Should third parties obtain patent rights to similar products or technology, this may have an adverse effect on its business.
 
The Company’s ability to commercialize its potential products will depend on its ability to sell such products without infringing the patent or proprietary rights of third parties.
 
The Company’s ability to commercialize its potential products will depend on its ability to sell such products without infringing the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties. Other companies may have or may acquire intellectual property rights that could be enforced against us. If they do so, the Company may be required to alter its products, formulations, processes, methods or other technologies, obtain a license, assuming one can be obtained, or cease its product-related activities. If its products or technologies infringe the intellectual property rights of others, they could bring legal action against the Company or its licensors or collaborators claiming damages and seeking to enjoin any activities that they believe infringe their intellectual property rights. If the Company is sued for patent infringement, the Company would need to demonstrate that its products or methods of use either does not infringe the patent claims of the relevant patent or that the patent claims are invalid or unenforceable, and the Company may not be able to do this. Proving invalidity, in the United States, in particular, is difficult since it requires a showing of clear and convincing evidence to overcome the presumption of validity enjoyed by issued patents. If the Company is found to infringe a third-party patent, the Company may need to cease the commercial sale of its product.

The Company’s failure to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals would significantly impair its ability to distribute and market its products.

The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. Before the Company is able to place its products in its intended markets in the U.S. and Europe, the Company is required to obtain approval of its products from the FDA and receive a CE Mark in Europe.  Delays in obtaining approvals and clearances could have material adverse effects on the Company and its operations.

Risks Associated With The Company’s Common Stock

The Company’s stock price may be volatile.

The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

§  
competition;
§  
additions or departures of key personnel;
§  
the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;
§  
operating results that fall below expectations;
§  
loss of any strategic relationship;
§  
industry developments;
§  
economic and other external factors; and
§  
period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

 
 

 
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

The Company does not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as the Company anticipates that the Company will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of its business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. The Company cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in the Company’s common stock.

The Company may in the future issue additional shares of its common stock which would reduce investors’ ownership interests in the Company and which may dilute its share value.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto authorize the issuance of 650,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The future issuance of all or part of its remaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of its common stock held by its then existing stockholders. The Company may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by the Company’s investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares .

The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose Common Stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell the Company’s stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading the Company’s securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.

Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy the Company’s common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of the Company’s common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in the Company’s common stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of the Company’s common stock.

Contractual Obligations

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

PROPERTIES

The Company’s principal executive office is located at 9595 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 900, Beverly Hills, California 90212.  The Company currently rent this space for approximately $300 a month.  Currently, this space is sufficient to meet the Company’s needs.  However, once the Company expands its business to a significant degree, it will have to find a larger space. The Company does not currently own any real estate.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transactions

None of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of its Common Stock, nor any associate or affiliate of such persons or companies, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.

With regard to any future related party transaction, the Company plans to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:
§  
Disclosing such transactions in reports where required;
§  
Disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required;
§  
Obtaining disinterested directors consent; and
§  
Obtaining shareholder consent where required.

Director Independence

For purposes of determining director independence, The Company has applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

According to the NASDAQ definition, Mr. Borkowski is not an independent director because he is also an executive officer of the Company.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

The Company knows of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against the Company, nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to its interest.

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Common Stock

The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB. The Company’s common stock has been quoted on the OTCQB since February 3, 2011, under the symbol “PRTN.QB.”  Because the Company is quoted on the OTCQB, its securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.
 
Record Holders

        As of the date of this Report, an aggregate of 443,000,686 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding and were owned by approximately 60 holders of record.

Re-Purchase of Equity Securities

None.
 
 
 

 
Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock since inception and presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of its business and that no dividends on its common stock will be declared in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on its common stock will be paid in the future.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES

Pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and amendment(s) thereto, the aggregate number of common shares which this Company has authority to issue is six hundred fifty million (650,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Company refers you to its Articles of Incorporation, any amendments thereto, Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the Nevada General Corporations Law for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of its securities.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Nevada Revised Statutes provide, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, such as the Company, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the State of Nevada or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
 
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 which may be permitted for directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company is  informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Eaton Scientific Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Eaton Scientific Systems, Inc. (”the Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements  of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  An  audit includes consideration of internal control over financial  reporting  as a  basis  for  designing  audit  procedures  that  are appropriate  in  the  circumstances, but  not  for the purpose of expressing an opinion  on  the  effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above presently fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Scientific Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operation and its cash flows for the years aforementioned in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company lacks liquidity and has accumulated losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

EATON SCIENTIFIC SYSTEMS, LTD.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2011 (audited)
And June 30, 2012 (unaudited)

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW

Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”, “ESSL”) was incorporated on January 31, 2006 in the state of Nevada.  The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle for the development, research, capitalization and marketing of certain patent-pending pharmaceuticals.  The Company intends to execute the necessary regulatory process dictated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in order to obtain a 510K clearance (pre-market notification) and FDA approval.

The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. A development stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. At June 30, 2012, the Company has not yet commenced normal operations.  All activity from January 31, 2006 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012 relates to the Company’s formation and the pending registration statement described below.

UNAUDITED INFORMATION

The balance sheet of Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012, the statement of operations, and the statement of cash flows for the 6-months ended June 30, 2012 have not been audited.  However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2012, and the results of operations for the 6 -months ended June 30, 2012.

Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for an entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and calendar year then ended.

GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $ 253,460 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operation and marketing activities to take place.  The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations.  The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Future issuances of the Company's equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Company's present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10-05, “Development Stage Entity”.  The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on development and research. and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  All losses accumulated, since inception, have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

 
38

 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fiscal Year End
The Company has a fiscal year ending on December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Patent Costs
Certain costs incurred in connection with the development of pending patents are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the economic or legal life of the patent.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, patent costs in the amount of $180, $2,699 and $2,092 were capitalized. As of June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a total of $36,236, $36,055 and $33,357 in patent costs were capitalized.

Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income, or loss, by the weighted average number of shares of both common and preferred stock outstanding for the period.

New Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Factors in Determination.  In making any determination as to whether a Person is an Eligible Individual, as to whether an Eligible Individual will be granted an Option, and as to the number of Shares to be covered by such Option, the Committee shall take into account the duties of such Person, the present and potential contributions of such Person to the growth and success of the Company and its Parents or Subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.  The Committee shall not be precluded from approving the grant of an Option to any Eligible Individual solely because such Person may previously have been granted an Option under the Plan.

ARTICLE 4  
SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN
 
Shares.  At no time shall the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options be greater than the Issuable Number.  The Company shall cause the Issuable Number of Shares to be reserved for issuance or delivery under the Plan at all times the Plan is in effect.
 
Expiration or Cancellation of Options; Tendered Shares.  Should any Option expire or be canceled without being fully exercised, the number of Shares with respect to which such Option shall not have been exercised prior to its expiration or cancellation will again be available for the granting of Options pursuant to the provisions hereof.  Furthermore, if the exercise price of any Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering Shares (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of Shares issued net of the Shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the Issuable Number; provided, however , that any increase in the Issuable Number resulting from the application of this sentence shall be reserved for issuance of Shares in satisfaction of Non-Incentive Stock Options only.
 
Description of Shares.  The Shares to be delivered under the Plan shall be made available from (a) authorized but unissued Shares, (b) Shares held in the treasury of the Company, or (c) previously issued Shares reacquired by the Company, including Shares purchased on the open market, as the Board or the Committee may, in each situation, determine from time to time in its sole discretion.
 
ARTICLE 5  
GRANT OF OPTIONS
 
Decision of Committee.  From time to time the Committee shall, in its sole discretion but subject to all of the provisions of the Plan, determine which Eligible Individuals will be granted Options, the number of Shares subject to Options, and the terms and conditions of the Options, including whether the Options will be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Incentive Stock Options.  The terms and conditions of an Option need not be the same for any other Option.
 
Date of Grant.  The date of the Agreement shall be the date on which the Option is deemed granted.  In no event shall a Participant gain any rights in addition to those specified by the Committee in its grant, regardless of the time that may pass between the grant of the Option and the actual acceptance of the offer of the Option and execution of the Option Agreement by the Company and the Participant.
 
Acceptance of Grant.  Each Eligible Individual granted an Option pursuant to Section 5.1 shall have an opportunity to accept or reject the grant of the Option.  Execution and delivery of an Option Agreement relating to an Option shall qualify as such written acceptance.  Each Eligible Individual who indicates a desire to accept the grant of the Option offered to him or her must enter into an Option Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof as a condition to such acceptance.

Limitation of Time of Grant.  In no event shall any Incentive Stock Option be granted hereunder after the date that is ten years after the earlier of (a) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board and (b) the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 9.1.
 
Limitation on Incentive Stock Options.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an Eligible Individual under the Plan to the extent it, together with all other incentive stock options granted by the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries to such Eligible Individual, would relate to Shares that, in the calendar year they first become purchasable, have a Fair Market Value, at the Date of the Grant, in excess of $100,000.  Notwithstanding the above, to the extent that the $100,000 limit is exceeded, the Option shall automatically be deemed to be a Non-Incentive Stock Option.
 
Limitation on Recipients of Grant.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Eligible Individual owning directly or indirectly (pursuant to Code Section 424) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company or any Corporate Subsidiary (a “10% Holder”) be granted an Incentive Stock Option hereunder unless (a) the exercise price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Date of Grant of the Option and (b) the term of the Option does not exceed five years from the Date of Grant.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Incentive Stock Option (or an incentive stock option under any other plan of the Company or a Subsidiary) be granted to any Eligible Individual unless such Eligible Individual is a Key Employee of the Company or a Corporate Parent or Corporate Subsidiary of the Company.
 
ARTICLE 6  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS
 
Option Agreement.  Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement, in such form as the Committee may prescribe, setting forth the tens and conditions of the Options, consistent with the provisions of the Plan.  The Option Agreement shall identify the Option granted as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Incentive Stock Option.
 
Number of Shares.  Each Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares subject to each Option.
 
Exercise Price.  The exercise price for each Share purchased under any Option shall be specified in the Option Agreement relating to such Option, which shall not be less than the par value of a Share and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall also not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant.
 
Payment of Exercise Price.  Payment of the exercise price for Shares purchased under the Plan shall be made upon the exercise of an Option and may be paid to the Company:
 
(a)   in cash (including check, bank draft, or money order); or
 
(b)   at the discretion of the Committee, or if the Option Agreement so provides, by the delivery of Shares of the Company owned by the Participant (including Shares received upon exercise of such Option) that have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price;
 
 
7

 
(c)   at the discretion of the Committee, or if the Option Agreement so provides, by the delivery of a promissory note in the principal amount of the aggregate exercise price and having such other terms as are determined by the Committee or provided in the Option Agreement; or
 
(d)   at the discretion of the Committee, or if the Option Agreement so provides, by a combination of the foregoing.
 
Vesting.  If the relevant Option Agreement does not specify a Vesting Schedule but (assuming no event of the type described in Article VII that would shorten or extend such term occurs during such term) has a term of at least five years from the Date of Grant, the Option shall become exercisable with respect to cumulative quantities of 20% of the Shares subject thereto on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary dates of the Date of Grant (subject to adjustment as contemplated by Article VII).
 
Modification, Extension, and Renewal of Options.  Subject to the terms and conditions of and within the limitations of the Plan and any consent required by the last two sentences of this Section, the Committee may (a) modify, extend, or renew outstanding Options, (b) accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised) and authorize the granting of new Options (including those with a higher or lower exercise price) in substitution for outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised), and (c) amend the terms of an Incentive Stock Option at any time to include provisions that have the effect of changing the Incentive Stock Option to a Non-incentive Stock Option.  Nevertheless, without the consent of the Participant, the Committee may not modify any outstanding Option so as to specify a higher or lower exercise price or accept the surrender of outstanding Incentive Stock Options and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefor specifying a higher or lower exercise price.  In addition, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted hereunder to such Participant except, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.
 
Exercise of Options Generally.  An Option may be exercised only by written notice of exercise delivered to the Company during the term of the Option, which notice shall (a) state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, (b) be signed by the Participant (or, if the Participant is dead or Disabled, by the Person, if any, authorized to exercise the Option pursuant to the Plan and, if signed by a Person other than the Participant, be accompanied by or contain satisfactory evidence of such Person’s right to exercise the Option), (c) be accompanied by payment of the appropriate exercise price and by payment in full of all the applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such exercise, (d) state the Social Security number of the Participant or other Person exercising the Option as contemplated by clause (b) above, and (e) include or be accompanied by such other information, instruments, agreements, and documents required to satisfy any other condition to exercise specified in the Plan (including but not limited to those contained in Section 6.9, 6.10, and 6.15) or the Option Agreement.  Unless otherwise consented to by the Committee, an Option shall not be deemed exercised until the requirements of this Section are completely fulfilled.
 
 
8

 
Certain Conditions to Exercise and Delivery of Stock.  Nothing herein or in any Option or any Option Agreement shall require the Company to issue or deliver any Shares if that issuance or delivery would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable statute or regulation, or the rules of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, in each case, as then in effect.  The Company may, as a condition precedent to the exercise of an Option, require from the Participant (or in the event of the death or Disability of the Participant, the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such written representations, if any, concerning the Participant’s (or such other Person’s) intentions with regard to the retention or disposition of the Shares being acquired and such written covenants and agreements, if any, as to the manner of disposal of such Shares as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, may be necessary to ensure that any disposition by that Participant (or in the event of the death or Disability of the Participant, the Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees), will not involve a violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable state or federal statute or regulation, or any rule of any applicable securities exchange or securities association, in each case, as then in effect.
 
Additional Restrictions on Exercise.  The exercise of each Option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Company or the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, that (a) the satisfaction of withholding taxes or other withholding liabilities, (b) the listing, registration, or qualification of any Shares otherwise deliverable upon such exercise on any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (c) the consent or approval of any regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, such exercise or the delivery or purchase of Shares thereunder, then in any such event such exercise shall not be effective unless such withholding, listing, registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained without any conditions not acceptable to the Company.
 
Nontransferability of Options.  Unless the relevant Option Agreement with respect to a Non-Incentive Stock Option expressly provides greater or lesser rights to the Participant or the relevant Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option expressly provides lesser rights to the Participant, no Option shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of a Non-Incentive Stock Option, a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however , that the Board of Directors or the Committee, as applicable, in its discretion, may allow for transferability of non-qualified stock options by the Participant.  Following any such transfer, any such options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer.
 
No Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not in any case be required to sell, issue, or deliver a fractional Share with respect to any Option.  In lieu of the sale, issuance, or delivery of any fractional Share, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount in cash equal to the same fraction (as the fractional Share) of the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the date such Option was exercised.
 
Delivery of Certificates of Stock.  The Company shall promptly issue and deliver a certificate representing the number of Shares as to which an Option has been duly exercised.  The value of the Shares issuable or deliverable upon exercise of an Option shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time, except as may be otherwise provided in an Option Agreement or approved in writing by the Committee.
 
 
9

 
Legends.  Certificates for Shares issued or delivered upon exercise of an Option, when delivered, may bear such legends or statements as the Committee or the Company determines to be appropriate or advisable.
 
Restrictions on Transfer of Shares; Rights to Acquire from Participant.  Each Option Agreement may provide for (a) restrictions on the transferability of Shares acquired pursuant to an Option or otherwise and (b) options and rights of first refusal with respect to any or all of such Shares in favor of the Company and/or any or all of its shareholders that, in each instance, the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion may deem proper or advisable.  Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, the provisions of the Shareholders’ Agreement in effect at the date of exercise of an Option are fully applicable to all Shares issued pursuant to that Option.  To the extent that Participant (or other Person exercising the Option) has not already done so, the Participant (or other Person exercising the Option) will be deemed to have executed a counterpart thereof as of the date of exercise.  The Committee may require, as a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Participant and his or her spouse (or other Person exercising the Option) to execute and deliver an agreement confirming the existence and enforceability of any such restrictions on the transferability of the Shares to be acquired upon exercise of such Option and otherwise evidencing their express agreement to be bound thereby.  The failure to obtain any such confirmation and agreement shall not have any effect on the existence or enforceability of the restrictions on transferability applicable to such Shares.
 
No Rights as Shareholder.  The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares covered by the Option unless and until, and except to the extent that, one or more certificates for such Shares shall have been delivered to such holder or such holder has been determined to be a shareholder of record by the Company or its transfer agent upon due exercise of the Option.
 
ARTICLE 7  
TERMINATION OF OPTIONS
 
Term of Options.  Unless the relevant Option Agreement expressly provides a different term, the term of each Option shall be from the Date of Grant until the date that is five years after such Date of Grant; provided, however , that no Option Agreement relating to an Incentive Stock Option shall permit such Incentive Stock Option to be exercisable later than ten years (five years in the case of a 10% Holder) from the Date of Grant.
 
ARTICLE 7.1   Termination Before Option Becomes Exercisable.
 
(a)   Unless the relevant Option Agreement with respect to a Non-Incentive Stock Option expressly provides greater or lesser rights to the Employee-Participant or the relevant Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option expressly provides lesser rights to the Employee-Participant, if an Employee-Participant ceases to be an employee of an Eligible Employer for any reason whatsoever before the date that an Option shall first have become exercisable by the Employee-Participant and such Employee-Participant is not then an employee of any other Eligible Employer, the Option and all rights of the Employee-Participant to exercise the Option shall terminate, lapse, and be forfeited at the time of such termination of employment.
 
 
10

 
(b)   Unless the relevant Option Agreement with respect to a Non-Incentive Stock Option expressly provides greater or lesser rights to the Participant (other than an Employee-Participant) or the relevant Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option expressly provides lesser rights to the Participant (other than an Employee-Participant), if the Participant ceases to serve an Eligible Employer in the capacity in which the Participant was serving at the time the Option was granted for any reason whatsoever before the date an Option shall first have become exercisable by the Participant and such Participant is not then serving any other Eligible Employer, the Option and all rights of the Participant to exercise the Option shall terminate, lapse, and be forfeited at the time the Participant ceases to so serve the Eligible Employer.
 
ARTICLE 7.2   Discharge or Resignation.
 
(a)   Unless the relevant Option Agreement with respect to a Non-Incentive Stock Option expressly provides greater or lesser rights to the Employee-Participant or the relevant Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option expressly provides lesser rights to the Employee-Participant, if an Employee-Participant ceases to be an employee of an Eligible Employer for any reason other than death or Disability and such Employee-Participant is not then an employee of any other Eligible Employer, the Employee-Participant shall have the right to exercise an Option, but only to the extent exercisable on the date of such cessation of employment, at any time within three months after such cessation of employment; provided, however, that if the Employee-Participant shall die within three months after such date of cessation of employment without having exercised the Option, the personal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees of the Employee-Participant, as appropriate, shall have the right, up to one year from such date of cessation of employment (or such lesser period as is contemplated by Section 7.6 or 7.7, if applicable), to exercise any such Option to the extent that the Option was exercisable prior to the Employee-Participant’s death and had not been so exercised.  The Option and all rights of the Employee-Participant to exercise the Option shall terminate, lapse, and be forfeited on the date of such cessation of employment to the extent the Option is not exercisable on such date.
 
(b)   Unless the relevant Option Agreement with respect to a Non-Incentive Stock Option expressly provides greater or lesser rights to the Participant (other than an Employee-Participant) or the relevant Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option expressly provides lesser rights to the Participant (other than an Employee-Participant), if the Participant ceases to serve an Eligible Employer in the capacity in which the Participant was serving at the time the Option was granted for any reason other than death and such Participant is not then serving any other Eligible Employer, the Participant shall have the right to exercise an Option, but only to the extent exercisable on the date of such cessation, at any time within three months after such cessation; provided, however , that if the Participant shall die within three months after such date of cessation without having exercised the Option, the personal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees of the Participant, as appropriate, shall have the right, up to one year from such date of cessation (or such lesser period as is contemplated by Section 7.6 or 7.7, if applicable), to exercise any such Option to the extent that the Option was exercisable prior to the Participant’s death and had not been so exercised.  The Option and all rights of the Participant to exercise the Option shall terminate, lapse, and be forfeited on the date of such cessation to the extent the Option is not exercisable on such date.

Disability.  Unless the relevant Option Agreement with respect to a Non-Incentive Stock Option expressly provides greater or lesser rights to the Employee-Participant or the relevant Option Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option expressly provides lesser rights to the Employee-Participant, if an Employee-Participant ceases to be an employee of the Eligible Employers due to such Employee-Participant’s Disability, as determined solely and exclusively by the Committee, the Employee-Participant shall have the right to exercise an Option, but only to the extent exercisable on the date of termination of employment, at any time within one year after such termination of employment (or such lesser period as is contemplated by Section 7.6 or 7.7, if applicable).  The Option and all rights of the Participant to exercise the Option shall terminate, lapse, and be forfeited on the date of such termination of employment to the extent the Option is not exercisable on such date.
 
Limitations on Exercise.  Despite the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable under any condition after the expiration of ten years (five years in the case of a 10% Holder) from the Date of Grant.  In addition, the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5, shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 9.6 and 9.7.

ARTICLE 8  
CERTAIN TAX MATTERS
 
Withholding.  The amount, as determined by the Committee, of any federal, state, or local tax required to be withheld by the Company (or Subsidiary that is the employer of the Participant) due to the exercise of a Non-Incentive Stock Option shall be satisfied (a) by payment by the Participant to the Company (or Subsidiary that is the employer of the Participant) of the amount of such withholding obligation in cash, (b) through the retention by the Company of a number of Shares out of the Shares being purchased through the exercise of the Option having, at the date of withholding, a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the withholding obligation, (c) through delivery by the Participant of Shares that have Fair Market Value at the date of withholding equal to the amount of the withholding, or (d) any combination of the foregoing.  The Committee shall determine the time and must consent to the manner in which a Participant shall satisfy a withholding obligation.  The cash payment or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares so withheld, as the case may be, shall be remitted by the Company (or Subsidiary that is the employer of the Participant) to the appropriate taxing authorities.
 
Disqualifying Disposition.  A Participant who makes a disqualifying disposition (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of Shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall notify the Company of such disposition and the amount realized upon such disposition.  The Company shall have the right to require payment from the Participant to cover any federal, state, or local tax required to be withheld by the Company in the event of the disqualifying disposition of such Shares.  If a Participant fails to give the Company notice of the disqualifying disposition and/or fails to make a payment of the applicable withholding taxes and the Company incurs any penalties or becomes liable for any interest under the Code for failure to withhold on wages, the Participant shall immediately reimburse the Company for the amount of such penalties and interest and shall pay the Company reasonable attorneys’ fees if the Company resorts to legal action to enforce its rights under this sentence.
 
ARTICLE 9  
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of September 1, 2012 provided, however , that if the Plan is not approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company prior to November 30, 2012, all Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall automatically become Non-Incentive Stock Options.
 
Termination of Plan.  The Board or the Committee may terminate the Plan at any time.  However, termination of the Plan shall not affect any Options previously granted hereunder; such Options shall remain in effect until they have been terminated or exercised, all in accordance with their terms.
 
Furnish Information.  Each Participant shall furnish to the Company all information requested by the Company to enable it to comply with any reporting or other requirement imposed upon the Company by or under any applicable statute or regulation.
 
 
13

 
Remedies.  The Company shall be entitled to recover from a Participant reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Option Agreement whether by an action to enforce specific performance or for damages for its breach or otherwise.
 
Information Confidential.  As partial consideration for the granting of each Option hereunder, the Participant agrees with the Company to keep confidential all information and knowledge that the Participant has relating to the manner and amount of the Participant’s participation in the Plan; provided, however , that such information may be disclosed as required by law and may be given in confidence to the Participant’s spouse, tax and financial advisors, or to a financial institution to the extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan.  In the event any breach of this promise comes to the attention of the Committee, it shall take into consideration that breach in determining whether to recommend the grant of any future Option to that Person as a factor militating against the advisability of granting any such future Option to that Person.
 
Changes in Capital Structure.  If there is any change in the capital structure of the Company through a Reorganization or otherwise, or if there shall be any dividend on the Shares, payable in Shares, or if there shall be a stock split or combination of Shares, the maximum aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Options may be exercised hereunder and the number and the exercise price of the Shares with respect to which an Option has been granted hereunder shall be proportionately adjusted by the Committee as it deems equitable, in its absolute discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants.  The issuance or delivery of stock for consideration shall not be considered a change in the Company’s capital structure.  No adjustment provided for in this Section shall require the issuance or delivery of any fractional Share.  The provisions of this Section shall not override the provisions of Section 9.7.
 
Dissolution, Liquidation, or Reorganization.  In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee in its sole discretion, may (a) declare any or all outstanding Options to be immediately exercisable, (b) pay cash to any or all Participants in exchange for the cancellation of their Options at a price determined by the Committee to be the fair value thereof, or (c) permit the Participant to elect the manner in which the Option shall be treated upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.  In the event of a Reorganization of the Company, the Committee in its sole discretion, may (a) declare any or all outstanding Options to be immediately exercisable, (b) pay cash to any or all Participants in exchange for the cancellation of their Options at a price determined by the Committee to be the fair value thereof, (c) grant new Options, (d) substitute new Options for any or all Options awarded hereunder, (e) permit any or all of the Options to continue in accordance with their terms but with respect to the securities that would be issued in respect of the Shares subject to such Options in connection with such Reorganization, (f) make other adjustments to the Plan or any or all Options, or (g) permit the Participant to elect the manner in which the Option shall be treated upon the Reorganization of the Company.
 
Adjustments for Pooling of Interests Accounting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Option Agreement, if the Company enters into a transaction that is intended to be accounted for using the pooling of interests method of accounting, but it is determined by the Board that any Option or any aspect thereof could reasonably be expected to preclude such treatment, then the Board may modify (to the minimum extent required) or revoke (if necessary) the Option or any of the provisions thereof to the extent that the Board determines that such modification or revocation is necessary to enable the transaction to be subject to the pooling of interests method of accounting.
 
 
14

 
Amendment.  The Board may, by resolution, amend the Plan at any time; provided, however , that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, 9.7, and 9.8 the Board may not, without approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares, (a) increase the Maximum Number, (b) reduce the exercise price with respect to an Option granted hereunder, contrary to the provisions of the Plan as hereinabove set forth, (c) change the class of employees eligible to participate in the Plan, or (d) otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially modify the requirements with respect to eligibility for participation in the Plan.  The Board may not, without the consent of the holder of an Option, alter or impair any Option previously granted under the Plan except as authorized herein.
 
Automatic Amendment for Requirements of and Changes in Code.  The Plan, to the extent it relates to Incentive Stock Options, and each Option Agreement that relates to Incentive Stock Options shall automatically be amended to contain any and all of the restrictions and limitations required, by Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to be contained in the Plan and/or such Option Agreement, as appropriate.  The Plan and each Option Agreement that relates to Incentive Stock Options shall automatically be amended to eliminate any and all of the restrictions and limitations set forth in the Plan or any Option Agreement with respect to Incentive Stock Options if and to the extent that Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder do not require such restrictions and limitations and either permit or do not prohibit such automatic amendments.
 
Nonguarantee of Employment.  Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue to perform services for, any or all Eligible Employers or interfere in any way with the right of any or all Eligible Employers to terminate the Participant’s employment or other relationship with any or all Eligible Employers at any time.
 
Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Plan; the remaining provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from the Plan.  Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of the Plan a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.  With respect to Incentive Stock Options, if the Plan does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, that provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if that provision had been set out at length herein; provided, however , that, to the extent any Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option cannot so qualify, that Option (to that extent) shall be deemed a Non-Incentive Stock Option for all purposes of the Plan.
 
 
15

 
Rule 16b-3.  With respect to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder, and with respect to such Participants all transactions shall be subject to such conditions regardless of whether they are expressly set forth in the Plan or any Option Agreement.  To the extent any provision of the Plan fails to so comply, the Plan shall automatically be amended to contain any and all of the restrictions and limitations required by Rule 16b-3.  To the extent any action by the Committee fails to so comply, such action shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
 
Expenses.  Any expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Eligible Employers.
 
Construction.  Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where applicable, and wherever the context of the Plan dictates, the plural shall be read as the singular and the singular as the plural.  The section headings contained in the Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of the Plan.
 
Notice.  All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, delivered by facsimile or courier service, or mailed, certified with first class postage prepaid to the address specified by the person who is to receive the same in the relevant Option Agreement.
 
Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, each such notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been given (whether actually received or not) on the date of actual delivery thereof, if personally delivered or delivered by facsimile transmission (if receipt is confirmed at the time of such transmission by telephone or facsimile-machine-generated confirmation), or on the third day following the date of mailing, if mailed in accordance with this Section, or on the day specified for delivery to the courier service (if such day is one on which the courier service will give normal assurances that such specified delivery will be made).  Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, any notice, request, demand, or other communication given, otherwise than in accordance with this Section shall be deemed to have been given on the date actually received.  Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, any party may change its address for purposes of this Section by giving written notice of such change to all other persons who may be required or permitted to give any notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder in the manner hereinabove provided.  Any Person entitled to any notice, request, demand, or other communication hereunder may waive the notice, request, demand, or other communication.
 
Calculation of Time.  In determining the time within which an event or action is to take place for purposes of the Plan, no fraction of a day shall be considered, and any act, the performance of which would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, may be performed on the following Business Day.
 
Successors.  The Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and on the Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives to the extent set forth in the Plan.

5.4 Acknowledgement .  Executive acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5 are reasonable in scope and essential to the preservation of the businesses and proprietary properties of the Company and its affiliates and that the enforcement thereof will not in any manner preclude Executive, in the event of his termination of employment with the Company, from becoming gainfully employed in such manner and to such extent as to provide a reasonable standard of living for himself, the members of his family and those dependent upon him of at least the sort and fashion to which he and they have become accustomed and may expect.

5.5 Severability - Covenants . The covenants of Executive contained in this Section 5 shall each be construed as any agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company or its affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company or its affiliates of such covenants. The parties hereto expressly agree and contract that it is not the intention of any party to violate any public policy, statutory or common law, and that if any sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same of this Agreement is in violation of the law of any state where applicable, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same shall be void in the jurisdictions where it is unlawful and the remainder of such provision and this Agreement shall remain binding on the parties to make the covenants of this Agreement binding only to the extent that it may be lawfully done under existing applicable laws. In the event that any part of any covenant of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be overly broad thereby making the covenant unenforceable, the parties hereto agree, and it is their desire, that such court shall substitute a judicially enforceable limitation in its place, and that as so modified the covenant shall be binding upon the parties as if originally set forth herein.

Section 6.   Indemnification .  In addition to any rights Executive may have under the Company's charter or by-laws, the Company agrees to indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless, both during the Term and thereafter, against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, fines, excise taxes and attorneys' and accountants’ fees) and liabilities (other than settlements to which the Company does not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (collectively, "Losses") reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought against or involving Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way relating to Executive's employment with the Company or Executive's service as a director of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify Executive for Losses incurred as a result of Executive's intentional misconduct or gross negligence (other than matters where Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the Company's best interests). Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any claim, action, proceeding or investigation under this paragraph and the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected by the Company; provided that Executive shall have the right to employ counsel to represent him (at the Company's expense) if Company counsel would have a "conflict of interest" in representing both the Company and Executive. The Company shall not settle or compromise any claim, action, proceeding or investigation without Executive's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if the settlement entails only the payment of money and the Company fully indemnifies Executive in connection therewith. The Company further agrees to advance any and all expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation. The Company currently maintains a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance covering Executive and, notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering Executive for a period of time following such expiration or earlier termination equal to the statute of limitations for any claim that may be asserted against Executive for which coverage is available under such directors' and officers' liability insurance policy.

Description
     
       
 
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/719,756, filed Sep. 22, 2005, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Hot flushes, also known as hot flashes, and night sweats are common and salient symptoms experienced by menopausal woman that typically occur during the transition time from peri-menopause to menopause. They can continue to occur to up to 5 years post-menopause (75% of women experience hot flushes, and of those, 25% experience them for more than 5 years; Belchetz (1994) New Engl. J. Med. 330:1062-71). The "hot flush" is a result of sudden or acute drop in estrogen levels. This sudden drop can be due to natural events (menopause), or as a result of surgical (oophorectomy) or medical (hormone therapy, chemotherapy) removal of ovarian function. It is estimated that 80% of women undergoing natural or iatrogenic menopause experience hot flushes. Over time, the frequency and intensity of hot flushes do diminish, but they are still present in up to 50% of women for up to 5 years.

[0003] A hot flush is subjectively described as a sensation of intense warmth lasting as little as 30 seconds or as long as 5 minutes. It can be accompanied by tachycardia or palpitations, headache, faintness, or vertigo, and typically ends in profuse sweating and a cold sensation. At night, the frequency and severity of hot flushes increase, affecting a woman's sleep and ultimately her overall quality of life.

[0004] Estrogen therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for menopausal symptoms over the years, but concerns about the risks of hormone replacement therapy have made the search for alternative therapies critical for many women.

[0005] Mild symptoms may be improved by avoidance of triggering substances or situations. Caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and hot beverages may trigger hot flushes. Exercise, lowering stress levels, and smoking cessation are thought to help relieve the symptoms. Dressing in layers, wearing breathable clothing such as cotton and natural linen, and using fans, may also aid in comfort.

[0006] Studies investigating the benefits of dietary soy and vitamin E have mixed results as to the benefits on hot flashes (Krebs, et al. (2004) Ob. Gyn. 104:824-836). There is up to a 40% placebo effect in most studies on hot flashes, and randomized, blinded studies involving phytoestrogens derived from soy or red leaf clover do not show additional benefit (Fitzpatrick (2003) Med. Clin. N. Am. 87:1091-1113; Tice, et al. (2003) JAMA 290:207). There is a concern that phytoestrogens are not risk-free as they stimulate cellular activity in breast cysts and can contribute to postmenopausal bleeding.

 
 

 
[0007] Black cohash is an herbal supplement which has been shown to have benefit for hot flashes without altering FSH levels or endometrial thickness (Fitzpatrick (2003) supra; Tice, et al. (2003) supra). Side effects such as nausea, headaches, dizziness and liver toxicity have been reported (Fitzpatrick (2003) supra; Tice, et al. (2003) supra). A black cohash/St John's Wort combination has been shown to reduce the Menopause rating scale by 50% and the Hamilton Depression Scale by 41% (Uebelhack, et al. (2006) Ob. Gyn. 107:247-55).

[0008] There are no prescription medications that are as effective as estrogen for the treatment of hot flushes, but many have a positive impact in some women. Unfortunately, all have side effects that balance their clinical use. Venlafaxine, paroxetine, and fluoxetine have all shown an approximate 60% reduction in hot flushes but with side effects common to the SSRI's. Veralipride reduces hot flushes but caused weight gain and galactorrhea.

[0009] Clonidine has a 50% reduction in symptoms, but causes dry mouth, sedation and hypotension. Gabapentin has a 45% reduction in frequency, and 54% decrease in severity but can cause somnolence, fatigue, tremors, nausea, edema and ataxia. High dose progestins or megace may help, but can cause PMS symptoms, depression and fluid retention. Bellergal was used in the past, but has addictive potential (Fitzpatrick (2004) Ob. Gyn. 104:106s-117s).

[0010] The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) was the largest placebo controlled study of hormone replacement therapy to date, and showed an increase in thromboembolism, stroke, and breast cancer in the estrogen-progestin group, leaving many women with the uncomfortable feeling that they were compromising their long-term health by using hormone therapy.

[0011] In certain severe cases, medication is prescribed by a physician. Progestins such as megestrol acetate (Megace) have been prescribed. The hormone estrogen is the most effective treatment for hot flushes. It can help not only in this aspect, but also in lubricating the vagina and urinary tract, improving sexual function, and decreasing and preventing the incidence of urinary tract infections.

[0012] However, drawbacks of standard estrogen replacement therapy include the potential for increased risk of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, general discomfort, and ineffectiveness. Recent studies have linked hormone replacement therapy to an increase risk of breast cancer. Furthermore, not all women can or want to take HRT, depending on their medical history and family history. Documenting the effectiveness of alternative treatments, and the development of new, non-hormonal treatments with low incidence of side effects and lower costs are desirable (Belchetz (1994) supra; Krebs, et al. (2004) supra; Fitzpatrick (2003) supra; Tice, et al. (2003) supra; Uebelhack, et al. (2006) supra; Fitzpatrick (2004) supra) At present, other than SSRI's which are marginally effective, there are no pharmaceutical or over the counter products that offer effective palliation of hot flushes.

[0013] U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,395,757 and 5,962,505 disclose the use of glycopyrrolate and glycopyrrolate analogs for alleviating menopausal hot flashes.

[0014] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for effective treatment regimes for relieving symptoms of the climacteric. The present invention meets this long-felt need.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The present invention is a method for alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in a climacteric subject. The method involves administering to a climacteric subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent thereby alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in the subject. In some embodiments, the anticholinergic agent is homatropine, or a salt thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The climacteric is defined as the syndrome of endocrine, somatic and psychological changes occurring at the termination of the reproductive period in the female. According to the Greene Climacteric scale (Greene (1998) Maturitas 29:25-31), there are 21 common symptoms associated with a woman's climacteric stage, namely heart beating quickly or strongly, feeling tense or nervous, difficulty in sleeping, excitability, attacks of panic, difficulty in concentrating, feeling tired or lacking in energy, loss of interest in most things, feeling unhappy or depressed, crying spells, irritability, feeling dizzy or faint, pressure or tightness in head or body, parts of the body feel numb or tingling, headaches, muscle and joint pains, loss of feeling in hands and feet, breathing difficulties, hot flushes, sweating at night, and loss of interest in sex. Other symptoms commonly experienced in climacteric women include urinary frequency and urgency, palpitations, and anxiety.

[0017] It has now been found that anticholinergic agents, such as homatropine, alleviate hot flushes in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women. In general, anticholinergic agents work by modulating the activity of muscarinic receptors which mediate a variety of cellular responses. For example, muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle regulate cardiac contractions, gut motility and bronchial constriction, whereas muscarinic receptors in exocrine glands stimulate gastric acid secretion, salivation and lacrimation. Muscarinic receptors also are found in the superior cervical ganglion, cerebral cortex, the striatum, the hippocampus, thalamus and brainstem.

 
 

 
[0018] Generally speaking, overstimulation of these receptors leads to diarrhea, frequent urination, miosis, bradycardia, bronchorrhea, emesis, lacrimation, and salivation. Other symptoms resulting from overstimulation of these receptors include nausea, vomiting, as well as eye pain, blurred or dim vision. Similarly, nicotinic stimulation causes muscle pain, tremors, weakness, hypertension, and fasciculations. Advantageously, anticholinergic agents result in antimuscarinic and antinicotinic actions. For example, anticholinergic agents are routinely given to people with urinary incontinence to prevent frequent urination (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,919,092.

[0019] It is believed that anticholinergics act peripherally and not in the central nervous system, i.e., hypothalamus, to block the muscarinic receptors located on tissues which receive parasympathetic postganglionic nerves. One exception is the sweat glands; which receive sympathetic-cholinergic nerves. The hypothalamus is one of several brain areas that regulate the discharge rate of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves by descending nerve fibers that synapse with either the parasympathetic preganglionic or sympathetic preganglionic nerves. It appears that the hypothalamus is the major brain area that regulates the discharge rate of the autonomic nerves (which may increase or decrease). The pathophysiology of how the decrease in estrogen affects the hypothalamic regulation of body temperature is largely unknown. However, not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the anticholinergic agent disclosed herein modulates hypothalamic regulation of body temperature via muscarinic receptor activity thereby reducing climacteric symptoms such as hot flushes in climacteric subjects.

[0020] Accordingly, the present invention is a method for alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in a climacteric subject by administering to the climacteric subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent, thereby alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in the climacteric subject. As used in the context of the present invention, "an anticholinergic agent" can be a compound that acts as an antagonist at the muscarinic receptor. In particular, the muscarinic receptor can be M.sub.1 and/or M.sub.2 muscarinic receptors. In particular embodiments, the anticholinergic agent can be a belladonna alkaloid including, but not limited to, atropine, scopolamine, methscopolamine, homatropine, hyoscyamine, wherein these compounds are normally administered as a salt, i.e., tertiary amines. For example, the atropine can be selected from a group consisting of atropine sulfate, atropine oxide, atropine-HCl salt, and methylatropine nitrate. The scopolamine can be selected from a group consisting of hydrobromide salt and methylbromide salt of scopolamine. The homatropine can be selected from a group consisting of hydrobromide salt and methylbromide salt of homatropine. The hyoscyamine can be selected from a group consisting of hydrobromide salt and sulfate salt of hyoscyamine. These agents, particularly the salt forms thereof, are readily available from a number of commercial sources or can be made or prepared according to standard methods well-known in the art. Salt forms of the identified anticholinergic agents are identified as follows:

[0021] Atropine, CAS-51-55-8 or CAS-51-48-1 (anhydrous form); atropine sulfate, CAS-5908-99-6; atropine oxide, CAS-4438-22-6 or its HCl salt, CAS-4574-60-1; and methylatropine nitrate, CAS-52-88-0.

[0022] Homatropine, CAS-87-00-3; hydrobromide salt, CAS-51-56-9; methylbromide salt, CAS-80-49-9.

[0023] Hyoscyamine (d, 1), CAS-101-31-5; hydrobromide salt, CAS-306-03-6; and sulfate salt, CAS-6835-16-1.

[0024] Scopolamine, CAS-51-34-3; hydrobromide salt, CAS-6533-68-2; methylbromide salt, CAS-155-41-9.

[0025] Other anticholinergic agents include ipratropium (e.g., as the bromide), sold under the name ATROVENT; oxitropium (e.g., as the bromide); and tiotropium (e.g., as the bromide) (CAS-139404-48-1). Also of interest are methantheline (CAS-53-46-3), propantheline bromide (CAS-50-34-9), anisotropine methyl bromide or Valpin 50 (CAS-80-50-2), clidinium bromide (QUARZAN, CAS-3485-62-9), isopropamide iodide (CAS-71-81-8), mepenzolate bromide (U.S. Pat. No. 2,918,408), tridihexethyl chloride (CAS-4310-35-4), and hexocyclium methylsulfate (CAS-115-63-9). See also cyclopentolate hydrochloride (CAS-5870-29-1), tropicamide (CAS-1508-75-4), trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride (CAS-144-11-6), pirenzepine (CAS-29868-97-1), telenzepine (CAS-80880-90-9), AF-DX 116, or methoctramine, and the compounds disclosed in WO 01/04118 for other exemplary anticholinergic agents.

[0026] In particular embodiments, the anticholinergic agent is homatropine, or a salt thereof. While the hydrobromide salt of homatropine is well-known for use in ophthalmology as a cycloplegic and mydriatic and the 8-methyl derivative of homatropine hydrobromide is a well-known oral therapeutic for use as an antispasmodic and inhibitor of secretions, especially in gastrointestinal disorders, homatropine (including the hydrobromide and methylbromide salts) has not been described in the art for use in alleviating climacteric symptoms.

[0027] The amount of anticholinergic agent or salt thereof which is required to achieve a therapeutic effect will, of course, vary with the particular agent, the route of administration, the subject under treatment. The compounds of the invention can be administered in a dose ranging from 0.005 mg to 100 mg per day, or more suitably 0.05 mg to 50 mg per day, with the particular dose adjusted by a skilled clinician based on the severity of the symptoms and the subject being treated. Effectiveness of the dose employed can be ascertained by monitoring the subject based upon, e.g., the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and the Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS).

 
 

 
[0028] In accordance with the instant method, a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent, such as a belladonna alkaloid, and in particular, homatropine, can be administered to a climacteric subject, which includes peri-menopausal and post-menopausal woman, wherein said effective amount alleviates, reduces, or ameliorates at least one climacteric symptom in the subject. Climacteric symptoms which can be alleviated by the anticholinergic agent include rapid heart beat, strong heart beat, feeling tense, feeling nervous, difficulty in sleeping, excitability, attacks of panic, difficulty in concentrating, feeling tired, lacking in energy, loss of interest in most things, feeling unhappy, feeling depressed, crying spells, irritability, feeling dizzy, feeling faint, pressure in head, pressure in body, tightness in head, tightness in body, numbness in a body part, tingling in a body part, headaches, muscle pains, joint pains, loss of feeling in hands, loss of feeling in feet, breathing difficulties, hot flushes, sweating at night, and loss of interest in sex. In some embodiments, the anticholinergic agent alleviates climacteric symptoms resulting from overstimulation of the muscarinic receptors. In particular embodiments, the muscarinic receptor is the M.sub.1 or M.sub.2 receptor. In other embodiments, the anticholinergic agent alleviates hot flushes. In a preferred embodiment, homatropine can be administered to alleviate hot flushes. In still other embodiments, the anticholinergic agent generally improves the quality of life (e.g., a decrease in night sweat episodes which affect a woman's sleep).

[0029] While it is possible for the anticholinergic agent or salt thereof to be administered alone, it is generally desirable to present it as a pharmaceutical formulation. Accordingly, the present invention further provides a method for alleviating at least one climacteric symptom, in particular, hot flushes, by administering to the climacteric subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent, wherein the anticholinergic agent, such as belladonna alkaloid, in particular, homatropine, is administered in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and optionally one or more other therapeutic ingredients. Another embodiment provides a method for alleviating at least one climacteric symptom, in particular, hot flushes, by administering to the climacteric subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent, wherein the anticholinergic agent, such as belladonna alkaloid, in particular, homatropine, is administered in admixture with an excipient. Another embodiment provides for a method for alleviating at least on climacteric symptom, in particular, hot flushes, by administering to the climacteric subject a therapeutically effective amount of anticholinergic agent, such as belladonna alkaloid, in particular, homatropine, via oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous and intraarticular), intranasal, inhalation (including fine particle dusts or mists which may be generated by means of various types of metered dose pressurized aerosols, nebulisers or insufflators), rectal and topical (including dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular) administration although the most suitable route may depend upon for example the condition and symptom of the recipient subject. The formulations can conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and can be prepared by any of the methods well-known in the art of pharmacy. See, for example, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Alfonso R. Gennaro, editor, 20th ed. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, Pa., 2000. Accordingly, an embodiment of this invention is a method for alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in a climacteric subject by administering to the climacteric subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anticholinergic agent, thereby alleviating at least one climacteric symptom in the climacteric subject, wherein the anticholinergic agent, such as belladonna alkaloid, and in particular, homatropine, is administered via a mode selected from a group consisting of oral, parenteral, intranasal, inhalation, rectal and topical administration.

[0030] Suitable methods for preparing formulations include the step of bringing the active ingredient (i.e., the anticholinergic agent) into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.

[0031] Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient can also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.

[0032] A tablet can be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, lubricating, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets can optionally be coated or scored and can be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein.

[0033] Formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which can contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which can include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations can be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and can be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example saline or water-for-injection, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions can be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described.

[0034] Dry powder compositions for topical delivery to the lung by inhalation can, for example, be presented in capsules and cartridges of for example gelatin, or blisters of for example laminated aluminium foil, for use in an inhaler or insufflator. Formulations generally contain a powder mix for inhalation of the compound of the invention and a suitable powder base (carrier substance) such as lactose or starch. Use of lactose is preferred. Each capsule or cartridge can contain the active ingredient in combination with another therapeutically active ingredient. Alternatively, the compound of the invention can be presented without excipients. Packaging of the formulation can be suitable for unit dose or multi-dose delivery. In the case of multi-dose delivery, the formulation can be pre-metered (e.g., as in DISKUS, see GB 2242134 or DISKHALER, see GB 2178965, GB 2129691 and GB 2169265) or metered in use (e.g., as in TURBUHALER, see EP 69715). An example of a unit-dose device is ROTAHALER (see GB 2064336). The DISKUS inhalation device comprises an elongate strip formed from a base sheet having a plurality of recesses spaced along its length and a lid sheet hermetically but peelably sealed thereto to define a plurality of containers, each container having therein an inhalable formulation containing an anticholinergic agent of the invention preferably combined with lactose. Desirably, the strip is sufficiently flexible to be wound into a roll. The lid sheet and base sheet will preferably have leading end portions which are not sealed to one another and at least one of the said leading end portions is constructed to be attached to a winding means. Also, the hermetic seal between the base and lid sheets extends over their whole width. The lid sheet can desirably be peeled from the base sheet in a longitudinal direction from a first end of the said base sheet.

 
 

 
[0035] Spray compositions for topical delivery to the lung by inhalation can, for example, be formulated as aqueous solutions or suspensions or as aerosols delivered from pressurized packs, such as a metered dose inhaler, with the use of a suitable liquefied propellant. Aerosol compositions suitable for inhalation can be either a suspension or a solution and generally contain the anticholinergic agent optionally in combination with another therapeutically active ingredient and a suitable propellant such as a fluorocarbon or hydrogen-containing chlorofluorocarbon or mixtures thereof, particularly hydrofluoroalkanes, e.g. dichlorodifluloromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetra-fluoroethane, especially 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoro-n-propane or a mixture thereof. Carbon dioxide or other suitable gas can also be used as propellant. The aerosol composition can be excipient free or can optionally contain additional formulation excipients well-known in the art such as surfactants, e.g., oleic acid or lecithin and cosolvents, e.g., ethanol. Pressurized formulations will generally be retained in a canister (e.g., an aluminium canister) closed with a valve (e.g., a metering valve) and fitted into an actuator provided with a mouthpiece.

[0036] Medicaments for administration by inhalation desirably have a controlled particle size. The optimum particle size for inhalation into the bronchial system is usually 1-10 .mu.m, preferably 2-5 .mu.m. Particles having a size above 20 .mu.m are generally too large when inhaled to reach the small airways. To achieve these particle sizes the particles of the active ingredient as produced can be size reduced by conventional means e.g., by micronisation. The desired fraction can be separated out by air classification or sieving. Preferably, the particles will be crystalline. When an excipient such as lactose is employed, generally, the particle size of the excipient will be much greater than the inhaled medicament within the present invention. When the excipient is lactose it will typically be present as milled lactose, wherein not more than 85% of lactose particles will have a MMD of 60-90 .mu.m and not less than 15% will have a MMD of less than 15 .mu.m.

[0037] Solutions for inhalation by nebulation can be formulated with an aqueous vehicle with the addition of agents such as acid or alkali, buffer salts, isotonicity adjusting agents or antimicrobials. They can be sterilized by filtration or heating in an autoclave, or presented as a non-sterile product.

[0038] Formulations for rectal administration can be presented as a suppository with the usual carriers such as cocoa butter or polyethylene glycol.

[0039] Formulations for topical administration in the mouth, for example buccally or sublingually, include lozenges comprising the active ingredient in a flavored basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth, and pastilles comprising the active ingredient in a basis such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose an acacia.

[0040] Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing an effective dose, as hereinbefore recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of the active ingredient.

[0041] The invention is described in greater detail by the following non-limiting examples.

EXAMPLE 1

Identification of Homatropine for Alleviating Hot Flashes

[0042] Eight peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women receiving the anti-tussive HYCODAN (one teaspoon every four to six hours as needed), reported relief of hot flushes while taking this medication. HYCODAN is composed of hydrocodone bitartrate (5 mg) and homatropine methylbromide (1.5 mg) in each tablet or 5 cc of suspension. The active ingredient responsible for the relief of hot flash symptoms was subsequently isolated by a pharmacist and found to be homatropine methylbromide.

Efficacy of Anticholinergic Agent for Alleviating Climacteric Symptoms

[0043] Study Objective. A single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, dose escalation, placebo-controlled, parallel-group-design clinical trial of homatropine versus placebo is carried out in subjects who are experiencing hot flushes and night sweats.

[0090] xxii. The subject has a disease or condition that compromises the integrity of the clinical trial or the safety of the subject.

[0091] Study Design. After screening, a 2-week placebo run-in is carried out and eligible subjects are randomized at baseline and receive either homatropine or a placebo for a 12-week period. The homatropine group receives an oral suspension composed of 1.5 mg/5 cc homatropine, syrup (water and sugar) and pineapple and tropical punch artificial flavoring. Randomization is at an equal ratio of 1:1. As the study is a dose escalating study, the percentages and the concentration of homatropine remains the same, while the amount taken changes. Subjects are asked to take the oral suspension at 3 to 4 times per day (i.e., a total of 4.5 to 6 mg homatropine per day). Subjects are asked to maintain their normal diet and exercise regimen during the 12-week study period. Subjects follow a protocol dose escalation schedule without the opportunity to increase the dose during the study based on symptoms/efficacy. Blood samples are obtained during the screening visit (and again at the last visit) for CBC, Lipid panel, hepatic profile, and serum hormone levels including FSH, Estradiol, Total and Free testosterone.

[0092] Evaluation of Symptoms. Subjects undergo a focused physical examination (vital signs and review of systems). Blood tests for hormone levels, CBC, lipid panel, and hepatic profile are conducted at the first visit (baseline), and at the end of the study. Subjects are asked to complete self-reporting questionnaires (MRS, GCS, and AUASS) at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Subjects are asked to undergo a Beck Depression Index assessment and complete a Quality of Life Assessment (SF-36) at baseline and at the end of the study. Subjects are asked to log the number of episodes of hot flushes and/or night sweats and other subjective symptoms on a daily basis.

[0093] Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) is a validated questionnaire listing symptoms associated with menopause. Subjects report on number, frequency and intensity of symptoms on this validated questionnaire.

[0094] Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS) is a validated questionnaire that looks at the total score and subscores of the psychological, physical, and vasomotor symptoms during menopause.

[0095] Urinary AUA-SYMPTOM SCORE (AUASS) is a validated questionnaire administered at all clinical visits from to help the patient determine how bothersome their urinary symptoms are and to check the effectiveness of treatment.

[0096] Beck Depression Index is a validated assessment administered at baseline and at the end of the study to assess the degree of signs and symptoms associated with clinical depression.

 
 

 
[0097] SF-36 is a validated questionnaire administered at baseline and at the end of the study to assess subjective general quality of life indicators.

[0098] Study Results. The primary safety variables are adverse events encountered by the study-population. However, because widespread usage of homatropine is already present with no notable adverse effects noted, efficacy of homatropine is of primary relevance.

[0099] The assessments of adverse events and research staff measurements are compared within subjects from reports and measurements at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. A comparison between the homatropine group and placebo group is made for the assessable subject population. Additional analyses are conducted on the intent-to-treat population to compare the mean change from baseline in the two groups. The overall incidence rates are compared between treatments using Pearson's chi-square tests or Fisher's-Exact tests.

[0100] The efficacy and safety variables assessing the homatropine versus placebo are the difference-of-means defined as the change from baseline as collected subsequent visits. Categorical variables are analyzed by the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test except for small cell sizes where Fisher's exact two-tail chi-square test is used. Continuous variables are analyzed by the two-sample t-test. Examples of categorical variables include diabetes, hypertension, and income. Examples of continuous variables include age, weight, and average co-morbid risk.

[0101] Continuous data is analyzed both as continuous and as categorical data. For example, energy can be assessed as the difference-of-means between an active product versus placebo group, but can also be classified as those subjects with energy of less than 2 (0 to 9 scale), a categorization of subjects considered in low energy. Assessments of a given variable both for means and for categories can be useful, since the means can hide important differences between groups by disguising the tails of distribution.

[0102] The results of this analysis demonstrate efficacy of using homatropine to decrease hot flushes and increase quality of life.

vi.  
Cost of Collection .  If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

vii.  
Governing Law .  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of California or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Los Angeles.  The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens .  The Company and Holder waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.   Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

viii.  
Certain Amounts .  Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note.  The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.
 
 
ix.  
Denominations .  At the request of the Holder, upon surrender of this Note, the Borrower shall promptly issue new Notes in the aggregate outstanding principal amount hereof, in the form hereof, in such denominations of at least $50,000 as the Holder shall request.

xi.

The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders).  In the event of any taking by the Borrower of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.  The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.10.

xii.  
Remedies .  The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
