About Bioxytran, Inc.

Bioxytran Inc. is a developmental stagebiotechnology company. The company is working towards a first-in-class oxygentreatment platform for victims of brain stroke trauma. The first product toproceed to testing is BXT-25, which will be evaluated as a resuscitative agentto treat strokes, especially during the all-critical first hour following astroke. The product will also be evaluated for its efficacy in treating otherbrain trauma issues. BXT-25 is based on a new molecule designed to reversehypoxia in the brain.  Hypoxic brain injuries such as ischemic strokes,could be treated with BXT-25 via an intravenous injection that quickly allowsthe drug molecule to travel to the lungs and bind with the oxygen molecules.From the lungs the molecule mimics a red blood cell traveling to the brain.Since the molecule is 5,000 times smaller than red blood cells it can penetratethe clot and deliver the oxygen to the critical areas in the brain blocked bythe clot.
