Vaso Active And BioChemics File Lawsuit Against Robinson & Cole.

DANVERS, Mass. -- Vaso Active Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (VAPH.ob) and BioChemics, Inc. of Danvers, Massachusetts announced today that they have filed a lawsuit in the Suffolk Superior Court, Boston, Massachusetts against the law firm of Robinson & Cole LLP. The case was assigned to the Business

Litigation Session.

The lawsuit relates to advice provided by Robinson & Cole in 2003 in connection with Vaso Active's initial public offering, which Vaso Active and BioChemics believe caused costly proceedings to be brought by the SEC and private litigants. The causes of action set forth in the Complaint include: professional negligence, breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty.

The Complaint seeks damages in the lawsuit as a direct result of Robinson & Cole's actions, which caused losses estimated to be in excess of $100 million due to lost market capitalization, out-of-pocket expenses, loss of market opportunities and other related damages. Kelley Drye & Warren LLP is representing Vaso Active and BioChemics, on a contingent basis, in the lawsuit and the costs of the litigation are not expected to be material to the Company's current cash flow or resources. Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC is representing Vaso Active as local counsel.

Vaso Active Pharmaceuticals, Inc, is an early stage company that focuses on commercializing, marketing and selling over-the-counter pharmaceutical products that incorporate either a patented transdermal technology ("VALE") or a proprietary topical technology ("PENtoCORE").

The unique VALE technology is a patchless, lipid-based delivery system that uses an active process, incorporating chemical vasodilators, to deliver drugs through the skin and into the bloodstream. Products utilizing this technology are currently in development.

The PENtoCORE technology is a topical formulation and the Company is currently marketing three products that incorporate this technology: OSTEON (for temporary relief from minor arthritis pain), A-R EXTREME (for temporary relief from minor muscle and joint pain associated with athletic activity) and TERMIN8 (for athlete's footfungal infections).
