About Bioxytran, Inc.
Bioxytran Inc. is a developmental stage biotechnology company. Thecompany is working towards a first-in-class oxygen treatment platform forvictims of brain stroke trauma. The first product to proceed to testing isBXT-25, which will be evaluated as a resuscitative agent to treat strokes,especially during the all-critical first hour following a stroke. The productwill also be evaluated for its efficacy in treating other brain trauma issues.BXT-25 is based on a new molecule designed to reverse hypoxia in the brain. Hypoxic brain injuries such as ischemic strokes, could be treated withBXT-25 via an intravenous injection that quickly allows the drug molecule totravel to the lungs and bind with the oxygen molecules. From the lungs themolecule mimics a red blood cell traveling to the brain. Since the molecule is5,000 times smaller than red blood cells it can penetrate the clot and deliverthe oxygen to the critical areas in the brain blocked by the clot.
