Eaton Scientific Systems Confirms Acquisition and Status of Tropine 3 Patent Pending Non-Hormonal Treatment of Hot Flashes in Menopausal Women

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd. ("Eaton Scientific" or the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pristine Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: PRTN) is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of pending patent USPTO #60/719,756, an invention that provides a Method for Relieving Climacteric Symptoms ("Hot Flashes").  According to the 2000 US Census, there are over 37.5 million American women between the ages of 40-59 that are in the age range for pre-menopause, menopause and peri-menopause that have the potential for experiencing hot flash symptoms.

"The Company believes that its Patent Pending Application covering a novel indication of the FDA approved drug homatropine, known as Tropine 3, has substantial strategic value in the rapidly growing women's healthcare market, particularly the menopausal symptom management market," stated Michael Borkowski, CEO and President of Eaton Scientific.   "Safe and effective non-hormonal menopausal symptom management is a very high priority issue for many women.  Eaton Scientific is well positioned to benefit from this dramatic global market opportunity, as the Company continues to develop market awareness and prepares to introduce Tropine 3 to a much larger audience in the near future."

Eaton Scientific makes the following Claims as part of its USPTO Application #60/719,756 Patent Pending Application, an invention that provides a Method for Relieving Climacteric Symptoms ("Hot Flashes"). 

The climacteric is defined as the syndrome of endocrine, somatic and psychological changes occurring at the termination of the reproductive period in the female.  According to the Greene Climacteric scale (Greene (1998) Maturitas 29:25-31), there are 21 common symptoms associated with a woman's climacteric stage, namely heart beating quickly or strongly, feeling tense or nervous, difficulty in sleeping, excitability, attacks of panic, difficulty in concentrating, feeling tired or lacking in energy, loss of interest in most things, feeling unhappy or depressed, crying spells, irritability, feeling dizzy or faint, pressure or tightness in head or body, parts of the body feel numb or tingling, headaches, muscle and joint pains, loss of feeling in hands and feet, breathing difficulties, hot flushes, sweating at night, and loss of interest in sex.  Other symptoms commonly experienced in climacteric women include urinary frequency and urgency, palpitations, and anxiety. 

It has now been found that anticholinergic agents, such as homatropine, alleviate hot flushes in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women.  In general, anticholinergic agents work by modulating the activity of muscarinic receptors, which mediate a variety of cellular responses.  For example, muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle regulate cardiac contractions, gut motility and bronchial constriction, whereas muscarinic receptors in exocrine glands stimulate gastric acid secretion, salivation and lacrimation.  Muscarinic receptors also are found in the superior cervical ganglion, cerebral cortex, the striatum, the hippocampus, thalamus, and brainstem.

Eaton Scientific and its management believe that its USPTO Patent Pending Application is a vital part of its business thesis and as such the company is committed to updating its shareholders to any significant developments in its Application.
