Leadscope Announces the Availability of the Database Builder Software

Columbus, Ohio August 7, 2007 - Leadscope announces the availability of the Leadscope Database Builder software. The Database Builder software converts legacy toxicity data into an electronic format using the database standard and controlled vocabulary (ToxML). The ToxML is used to construct FDA databases by Leadscope, Lhasa Limited and the U.S. FDA under their Cooperative Research & Development Agreement. By using the standardized ToxML vocabulary, institutions will be able to combine their toxicity data with data from the FDA.

The initial Version 1.0 of the Database Builder allows customers to create electronic databases using the standardized ToxML for Genetic toxicity, Chronic/Subchronic and Repro-Developmental toxicity studies. Future ToxML vocabularies to be completed include Neurotoxicity, Developmental-Neurotoxicity, Carcinogenicity, Skin Sensitization and Acute toxicity. ToxML will also be expanded to environmental endpoints.

Loftus Lucas, Leadscope's CEO, said, "Providing a tool which allows organizations to convert their legacy data into a standardized format which is being used by the FDA, will greatly enhance the usability of an organization's toxicity information. Once combined with the FDA<92>s data, an organizations data may be ready for SAR analysis, data mining or prediction model building."

To promote the use of ToxML, Leadscope is offering a free software product called the Leadscope ToxML Editor. This product allows you to enter a single compound and single study at a time for all the same toxicity endpoints available in the Database Builder.. The editing functionality of the ToxML Editor is exactly the same as the commercial Database Builder. Interested organizations may download this free software by visiting Leadscope's website at www.leadscope.com/toxmleditor.

Leadscope is available to provide consulting services to assist an organization in converting their legacy toxicity information. Special discounts are provided to academic or governmental organizations. Interested parties should contact Leadscope.
