OKYO is focusing on the discovery and development of novel molecules to treat inflammatory dry eye diseases and chronic pain. For further information, please visit www.okyopharma.com.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About OK-101<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">OK-101 is a lipid conjugated chemerin peptide antagonist of the ChemR23 G-protein coupled receptor which is typically found on immune cells of the eye responsible for the inflammatory response. OK-101 was developed using a membrane-anchored-peptide (MAP) technology to produce a novel long-acting drug candidate for treating dry eye disease. OK-101 has been shown to produce anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing activities in mouse models of dry eye disease and corneal neuropathic pain; and is designed to combat washout through the inclusion of the lipid \u2018anchor\u2019 contained in the candidate drug molecule to enhance the residence time of OK-101 within the ocular environment.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Dry Eye Disease<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Dry eye disease is a multifactorial disease that results in ocular discomfort and tear film instability that can lead to ocular surface damage. It is often a chronic problem, particularly in older adults, and is expected to become even more prevalent with the aging population and increased use of digital screens such as computers and smart phones. Despite new product approvals, dry eye disease remains a significant unmet medical need and is one of the leading causes for patient visits to eye care specialists. Novel therapies that improve the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease will be beneficial to dry eye patients.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, please visit the Company&#8217;s website at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=1y5-XLrgJofdm4hhZP7e9mIoshsKUIeZgBMaMOHXX5YLZdu403gjQN0sf6qDFjM4ol_RDbXw5Jsp3vwSf6YAX1MFYBATD3kPNFrWmrQQKNI=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><u>www.okyopharma.com<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"__GNW8366DE3E__IMG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/newsroom\/ti?nf=ODcwMjc5NCM1MjgwODE4IzIyMDE0NDM=\" \/><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/media\/N2YyNDg2ZjQtYTI4Ni00ODk0LWJhMWEtODQzMzI2NzNmNTdhLTEyMTI5OTY=\/tiny\/OKYO-Pharma-LTD.png\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"mw_contactinfo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON and BOSTON, Nov. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; OKYO Pharma Limited (LSE: OKYO; NASDAQ: OKYO), an ophthalmology-focused bio-pharmaceutical company which is developing OK-101 to treat dry eye disease to address the significant unmet need in the multi-billion-dollar market, announces that the board of directors of the Company (the &#8220;Board&#8221; or &#8220;Directors&#8220;), acting on a recommendation of the Remuneration Committee has awarded Mr Raj Patil, the Company\u2019s Chief Scientific Officer, a total of 5,000,000 options at an exercise price of 6.25 pence per share, in recognition of his work in achieving the recent IND filing for OK-101.
