Bioterm Pharmaceutical Ltd.
Revolution in treatment for pre-term labor and induction of labor that affect millions of women
and newborn each year!
Bioterm Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is the developer of novel therapeutics for the treatment and prevention of pre-term labor and for the induction of labor that cause severe morbidity of millions of newborn worldwide.
The Company has patented the use of two molecules, its Preventerm molecule for the prevention of pre-term labor (PCT, pending) and its Inducterm molecule (approved patent) for labor induction, which are both multi-hundred million dollar markets.
Both molecules have been approved for therapy for unrelated indications, allowing BT a substantial acceleration of regulatory approvals. BT is currently seeking an equity investment of $ 7-9 million to complete Phase II clinical trials for Preventerm and pre-clinical trials for Inducterm, to broaden management, and to enhance marketing and business development activities in the U.S. and Europe.
The Mission:

BT is developing novel and advanced products for two major medical indications in multi-hundred million-dollar markets. The Company’s mission is to become a leader in the development of obstetric pharmaceuticals, to improve healthcare delivery for patients, doctors and hospitals, and to provide an attractive return on investment for its shareholders and benefits for its strategic partners. Longer term, the
Company intends to apply its technology to additional lucrative markets such as veterinary obstetrics and to develop products for more OB/Gyn indications.
The Company was founded in 2002 by Dr. Israel Shamir Leibovitz MD, FCOG, a highly acclaimed gynecologist and prolific inventor, who functions as Chief Medical Officer and interim CEO; Prof. Eliezer Shalev, Director of clinical trials, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Haemek Hospital in Afula, Israel; and Prof. Daniel S.

Goldenberg, Co-Director of the Center for Research in Women’s Health at the University of Alabama (UAB) and formerly the Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology; Prof. Phillip Robert Bennett, MD, PhD, FRCOG, a Professor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Imperial College School of Medicine, Institute of Obstetrics; Prof. Emile Papiernik, Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Hôpital Cochin, Paris; and Dr. Joseph Blankstein, the Chairman of the department of obstetrics and Gynecology at Mount Sinai Hospital Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois.
