      Press Release ALFACELL CORPORATION (NASDAQ - ACEL)
      Researchers Identify Intracellular Pathway of Alfacell's ONCONASE(R)
      Paper Published in Journal of Cell Science Shows ONCONASE Uptake in Cells Differs from other RNases


      Company Release - 04/05/2007 08:30

      BLOOMFIELD, N.J., April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alfacell Corporation (Nasdaq: ACEL) today announced that European researchers have identified the pathway that ONCONASE (ranpirnase) follows to enter cells.

      Published in the Journal of Cell Science (2007; 120: 1405-1411), a paper based on studies conducted at the University of Girona in Spain and the University of Montpellier II in France shows that ONCONASE enters cells using AP-2/clathrin-mediated endocytosis, enabling its subsequent delivery to the cytosol. The published data indicate that unlike other RNases, the ONCONASE endocytosis pathway is not targeted to lysosomes.

      "ONCONASE has a very specific property in that it is selectively toxic to malignant cells," said Kuslima Shogen, Alfacell's chairman and chief executive officer. "The Journal of Cell Science paper is another reflection of the strong interest that the scientific and medical communities have in understanding ONCONASE's performance. Ongoing independent research like this at leading institutions is providing us with further data that is useful in our efforts to expand the potential therapeutic opportunities for our technology platform."

      About ONCONASE(R)

      ONCONASE is a first-in-class therapeutic product candidate based on Alfacell's proprietary ribonuclease (RNase) technology. A natural protein isolated from the leopard frog, ONCONASE has been shown in the laboratory and clinic to target cancer cells while sparing normal cells. ONCONASE triggers apoptosis, the natural death of cells, via multiple molecular mechanisms of action.

      About Alfacell Corporation

      Alfacell Corporation is the first company to advance a biopharmaceutical product candidate that works in a manner similar to RNA interference (RNAi) through late-stage clinical trials. The product candidate, ONCONASE, is an RNase that overcomes the challenges of targeting RNA for therapeutic purposes while enabling the development of a new class of targeted therapies for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In addition to an ongoing Phase IIIb study in malignant mesothelioma, Alfacell is conducting a Phase I/II trial of ONCONASE in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors.

      Preclinical Data Show Alfacell's ONCONASE(R) Inhibits Tumor Growth of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer Cells
      Poster Presented at AACR Annual Meeting


      Company Release - 04/16/2007 08:30

      BLOOMFIELD, N.J., April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alfacell Corporation (Nasdaq: ACEL) today announced that in vivo and in vitro preclinical data presented in a poster at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting show that ONCONASE (ranpirnase) significantly inhibits tumor growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer cells.

      In the poster titled "Increased apoptosis and reduced lactate levels by ranpirnase in human lung and breast cancer", Intae Lee, Ph.D. and collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania demonstrated that ONCONASE significantly inhibited tumor growth by inducing apoptosis (cell death) in A549 and NCI-H1975 human NSCLC cells and MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells without damaging non-cancerous cells such as HLF-1 human lung fibroblast and NCI/3T3 fibroblast. Additionally, the data indicated that twice weekly injections of ONCONASE were more effective than an equivalent single dose injection in these tumor types.

      "The findings of our investigation suggest important potential clinical uses of ONCONASE for the treatment of NSCLC and breast cancer," said Dr. Lee.

      Kuslima Shogen, Alfacell's chairman and chief executive officer, added: "This research adds to the extensive published data that supports our continued development of ONCONASE for multiple cancer indications. The ONCONASE franchise includes the gateway indication of malignant mesothelioma and several other tumor types for which we are continuing preclinical and clinical studies."

      ONCONASE(R) has Potential as Chemopreventive Agent in Mesothelioma, Reports World-Renowned Mesothelioma Researcher at AACR Annual Meeting

      Company Release - 04/18/2007 08:30

      BLOOMFIELD, N.J., April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ONCONASE (ranpirnase), Alfacell Corporation's (Nasdaq: ACEL) lead drug candidate, may have potential as a chemopreventive agent, according to world-renowned mesothelioma researcher Michele Carbone M.D., Ph.D., at this week's American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting.

      In a series of poster presentations, Dr. Carbone highlighted the growing worldwide problem of asbestos exposure and its link to malignant mesothelioma. Dr. Carbone presented data that show the early detection in patients at high risk for developing malignant mesothelioma is becoming more prevalent via the presence of certain biological markers in blood samples. Furthermore, he pointed out that ONCONASE's favorable toxicity profile and its well-documented mechanism of action, which directly affects the pathway that has been shown to cause asbestos carcinogenesis, position ONCONASE for potential early administration to populations "at-risk" for mesothelioma. If clinically validated, such a new approach might enable physicians to use ONCONASE as a chemopreventive agent to potentially prevent the onset of mesothelioma, or reduce the doses of cytotoxic agents needed in those patients who develop the disease.

      "The potential of ONCONASE as an early first-line preventative treatment for mesothelioma is an exciting development that we plan to investigate through clinical trials," said Dr. Carbone. "With approximately more than 25 million asbestos exposure cases reported worldwide, we believe that ONCONASE might play a greater role in the treatment protocols for a much larger population than was originally envisioned for this dismal disease."

      Dr. Carbone is a professor and director of the thoracic oncology program as well as a clinical professor of pathology with the University of Hawaii'sCancer Research Center of Hawaii, and chairman of the Alfacell Thoracic Advisory Board. Previously, Dr. Carbone was Director of the Thoracic Oncology Program at Loyola University in Chicago, where he is also a tenured Professor at the Cancer Center, Department of Pathology. He also held scientific and academic positions at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and at the University of Chicago.

      Kuslima Shogen, Alfacell's chairman and chief executive officer, added: "Dr. Carbone is recognized as one of the world's leading researchers in mesothelioma. His remarks about ONCONASE at the AACR Annual Meeting reflect the interest of the international medical community in expanding the potential uses of ONCONASE."
