FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. Announces Resignation of Andrew H. Sassine as Member of the Board of Directors

FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in discovering, developing and commercializing molecular imaging pharmaceuticals with initial applications in the area of cardiology. The Company is focused on the development of cardiovascular imaging agents that detect and assess acute and chronic forms of coronary artery disease (CAD). It has two clinical-stage molecular imaging pharmaceutical product candidates: 18-F TPP (BFPET) and 18-F FCPHA (CardioPET). BFPET program employs a (18F)-labeled cationic lipophilic tetraphenylphosphonium ion as an imaging agent designed for use in stress-testing for patients with presumptive or proven CAD. It measures the extent and severity of cardiovascular disease through the detection of ischemic and infarcted myocardial tissue. CardioPET program employs Trans-9-(18F)-Fluoro-3, 4-Methyleneheptadecanoic Acid as a molecular imaging agent designed to assess myocardial blood flow and metabolism in patients with CAD.
