Bioaccelerate Announces Sale of Subsidiary and First Distribution

Accura Pharma Acquires Cain Biotech


NEW YORK, March 28, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc (OTCBB:BACL), which has previously announced that it is changing its name to Gardant Pharmaceuticals, Inc., today announced the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cain Biotech, Limited, to Accura Pharma PLC, a United Kingdom-based company. Accura Pharma PLC is a privately held company that is in the process of listing for trading on a public exchange in the United Kingdom. In exchange for its interest in Cain Biotech, Limited, Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc. received at closing 120 million shares of the common stock of Accura Pharma PLC. Those shares constitute approximately 60% of the outstanding common stock of Accura Pharma PLC.

The assets of Cain Biotech, Limited include the minority stock holdings of Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc. in Enhance Biotech, Inc., Evolve Oncology, Inc. and Neuro Bioscience, Inc. Cain Biotech, Limited also owns interests in certain biopharmaceutical compounds under development.

Accura Pharma PLC is an emerging pharmaceutical company, formed in 2004, which operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Accura Therapeutics Ltd. and Anvet Pharma Ltd. Accura Pharma PLC is focusing on developing biopharmaceutical products for treatments of conditions in the following markets: cardiovascular, oncology, lifestyle pharmaceuticals, and animal health concerns.

A Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc. spokesperson commented, "We believe that the sale of Cain in exchange for shares in Accura will create significant incremental value for our shareholders as Accura will have a more robust portfolio of products under development by a more accomplished management team than either company had prior to the transaction."

Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc. recently announced plans to spin-off a number of its operating subsidiaries to the Company's shareholders in order to enhance the independent identities of, and investor interest in, those subsidiaries and gives the Company more clarity in its ongoing business activities. That policy is intended to unlock value which the Company believes exist in its subsidiaries.

In line with that policy, the Company intends to distribute the shares of Accura Pharma PLC, which it receives in the sale of Cain Biotech, Limited to the shareholders of Bioaccelerate Holdings Inc. on a pro rata basis. The shareholders of record on April 21, 2006 will be entitled to receive this dividend, which will consist of approximately 1.7 shares of the common stock of Accura Pharma PLC for each share of common stock of Bioaccelerate Holdings Inc. held as of that date. Payment of the dividend will occur as promptly as reasonably practicable after regulatory requirements are met, including the availability of appropriate public information concerning Accura Pharma PLC. The dividend shares will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable law.

In addition, as previously announced, over the coming months, Bioaccelerate Holdings, Inc. intends to dividend to its shareholders, on a pro rata basis, its holdings in two oncology-focused companies, a dermatology company, a speciality pharma company, and an anti-viral company.
