Bioponic
Phytoceuticals, Inc. ("Bioponic" or "the Company") (OTC PK: BPYT) today
announced that its Curecumin(TM) (a Bioresonant Phytotherapeutic(R) form of
Turmeric containing curcumin), may be an important treatment for prostate
cancer.


"Curcumin, a turmeric root extract, has been shown to possess activity
in the treatment and prevention of cancer, multiple sclerosis, and
Alzheimer's disease," according to a 3/7/2007 article posted on
. "The molecular mechanism for its anticancer effect is largely
unknown, although it is thought to inhibit the synthesis of MDM2, an
oncoprotein known to bind p53 and modulate p21 expression. In the March 1
issue of Cancer Research, Li and colleagues from the Comprehensive Cancer
Center of the University of Alabama report on a study designed to elucidate
the molecular anticancer effect of curcumin in a preclinical prostate
cancer model." "Curcumin was found to decrease the mRNA and protein
expression of the oncoprotein MDM2 and to enhance the expression of tumor
modulator p21." "This well-performed study provides an elegant mechanistic
explanation for the anticancer effect of curcumin."



It is estimated by the Prostate Cancer Foundation that "prostate cancer
currently strikes an estimated one in six Americans. More than 218,000 men
in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year."



"We are particularly interested in the potential of our Curecumin(TM)
product to provide a viable treatment strategy for those with prostate
cancer. If proven effective, we may have an efficacious, cost effective,
natural treatment for prostate cancer sufferers," said Steven M. Schorr,
Chairman & CEO -Bioponic Phytoceuticals, Inc.
