<p style=' margin-bottom:3pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:center;'><b><font size=5>COPREXA Based on Pre-NDA Meetings with FDA</font></b></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:5pt; margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>Ann Arbor, Michigan, September 21, 2007 -- Pipex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX: PP), a specialty pharmaceutical company developing innovative late-stage drug candidates for the treatment of neurologic and fibrotic diseases, announced today that it completed a series of pre-NDA meetings with the FDA yesterday regarding its lead drug candidate, COPREXA (oral tetrathiomolybdate), and that in November Pipex plans to submit its New Drug Application (NDA) for COPREXA for the treatment of initially presenting neurologic Wilson&#146;s disease.    </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:5pt; margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>During the two separately scheduled pre-NDA meetings which Pipex completed yesterday, Pipex reviewed with the FDA the format and content of Pipex&#146;s planned NDA submission of preclinical, clinical, manufacturing, stability and quality data for  COPREXA for the treatment of initially presenting neurologic Wilson&#146;s disease.  Based upon these discussions and Pipex&#146;s internal timelines to assemble adequate stability information and other analytical data from the COPREXA stability lots, Pipex believes it will submit the proposed NDA for COPREXA during November 2007.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:5pt; margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&#147;We view the meeting outcomes as highly positive, productive and informative, providing us with considerable clarity to assure that our planned application will meet the agency's needs.  The meetings have given us considerable confidence that in November we will be able to submit an acceptable NDA package for FDA&#146;s review&#148; stated Charles L. Bisgaier, Ph.D., President of Pipex.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&#147;As a clinician and inventor of COPREXA, I was extremely pleased with the reception of our proposed NDA submission at our meetings with the FDA,&#148; said Dr. George Brewer, Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan, and Chairman of Pipex&#146;s COPREXA Scientific Advisory Board.  &#147;As a clinician having considerable experience in the treatment and management of Wilson&#146;s disease patients, I believe that COPREXA will fulfill an important long standing unmet need for the treatment of initially-presenting neurologic Wilson&#146;s disease, a serious debilitating life threatening disease which is not adequately addressed by existing therapies.&#148;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&#147;Based on our positive interactions with the FDA and our prior commitment to update investors in this third week of September, we are pleased to provide this updated guidance to the investment community for the timing of our proposed COPREXA NDA filing,&#148; said Steve H. Kanzer, CPA, Esq., Pipex&#146;s Chairman &amp; CEO.  He continued, &#147;The clinical, manufacturing, analytical and quality assurance teams at Pipex continue to work </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>About COPREXA </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:5pt; margin-top:5pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>COPREXA is an oral, small-molecule, anti-copper agent that is highly specific for the reduction of free copper in serum, the most toxic form of copper in the body, and is thus suited for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases in which abnormal serum and CNS copper homeostasis are implicated.  COPREXA has completed two pivotal clinical trials in 48 and 55 initially presenting neurologic Wilson&#146;s disease patients, the results of which have been previously published</font><sup><font size=2>(1)(2)</font></sup><font size=2>.  Pipex is also developing COPREXA for fibrotic disorders based upon the rationale that the fibrotic disease process is dependent upon the availability of free copper in the body.  COPREXA has demonstrated the ability to inhibit fibrosis in a number of well established animal models through the sequestration of available copper and inhibition of key fibrotric cytokines,
including secreted protein acid rich in cysteine (SPARC), NF?B, TGF-&#223;, FGF-2, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF).</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>COPREXA has completed a 20-patient, one year, open label, phase I/II clinical trial for the treatment of refractory idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a fatal respiratory disease.  The results of this trial were presented in May of this year at the annual meeting of the American Thoracic Society (ATS).  Pipex is planning to initiate a phase III clinical trial of COPREXA in IPF and, if successful, Pipex may be permitted to file a supplemental NDA for COPREXA for this additional indication.  COPREXA is also in a phase II clinical trial for the treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), a fibrotic disease of the liver.  </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>Wilson&#146;s disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease attributable to mutations of the </font><i><font SIZE=2>ATP7B</font></i><font size=2> gene.  Worldwide, it is estimated that there are between 10 million and 30 million carriers of the heterozygous mutated gene.  These mutations lead to an inability to properly clear excess free copper from the body via the liver into the bile and stool.  As a result, copper accumulates in the liver and elevated levels of toxic free copper enter the systemic circulation, cross the blood brain barrier, and enter the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and brain.  These increased levels of free copper cause significant neurologic damage, resulting in tremors, impaired speech, and Parkinson&#146;s-like dystonia.  </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:justify;'><font size=2>Psychiatric symptoms of neurologically-presenting Wilson&#146;s patients will generally precede neurologic symptoms by months or years and may include loss of emotional control, temper tantrums, emotional outbursts, bouts of crying, severe depression, suicidal ideation, loss of inhibitions, delusions, hallucinations and loss of ability to focus on tasks. Neurologic symptoms later develop as a result of neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia of the brain and include impaired speech, tremor, dystonia, incoordination and dysphasia. Crippling movement disorders may ultimately occur. Without proper </font></p>
