MethylGene Inc. (TSX: MYG) and Pharmion Corporation (NASDAQ: PHRM)(February 14, 2008)announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated the Companies' histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, MGCD0103, as an Orphan Drug for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in the United States. Criteria for designation require that the product be intended for treatment of a condition affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States, and the application must include a rationale for the use of the drug in the rare disease or condition.

Orphan Drug Designation allows special incentives for sponsors planning to test a product for use in a rare disease or condition. These incentives include, tax credits, research and development grant funding, and reduced filing fees at the time of application for marketing approval. Once approved, the product may qualify for seven years of marketing exclusivity in the United States.

About MGCD0103

MGCD0103 is an orally-administered, isotype-selective HDAC inhibitor. The compound is currently in one Phase I combination clinical trial with Taxotere for solid tumors, two Phase I/II combination trials with Vidaza for hematological malignancies and with Gemzar for pancreatic cancer, and five Phase II clinical trials in hematological malignancies.

MGCD0103 has received orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has been designated an Orphan Medicinal Product by the EMEA for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma and acute myelogenous leukemia.

About Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that is characterized by the rapid proliferation (growth) of abnormal white blood cells. These cells are unable to perform their regular functions and eventually crowd out healthy red and white blood cells. Leukemia cells can also spread to other parts of the body. People afflicted with AML are susceptible to increased risk of infections, anemia and bleeding.

AML is the one of the most common forms of leukemia and occurs most often in older adults - the average age being 65. The American Cancer Society estimates that 13,410 new cases and 8,990 deaths occurred in the United States in 2007.

Although several risk factors for AML have been identified, the specific cause of AML remains unclear. AML is a potentially curable disease; but only a minority of patients are cured with current therapies. Current treatments for AML include chemotherapy, blood transfusions and stem cell transplants.

Union Dental Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: UDHI) (February 14, 2008) a Company that operates and manages a network of dentists throughout the United States for union members, announced earlier today it is making plans to expand its Coral Springs facility to become a Total Service Provider (TSP) and offer all aspects of dentistry in one location for all union members.

Dr. George D. Green, President and CEO, stated: "With the consolidation of the telecoms dental benefits become a very big issue with all union members. UDHI is going to now provide all discounted dental services including Orthodontics, Endodontics, Periodontics, Implants, Pedodontics, Cosmetic Dentistry and eventually Oral Surgery in one location in Coral Springs." Dr. Green further stated: "This will save time and money for all members because they will no longer have to be referred to specialists in other offices. We will have 'one stop shopping' so members won't have to take more time off from work for their dental needs." CWA represents the union employees of the telecom while AFA-CWA represents the flight attendants of such airlines as United, US Airways, Northwest, Aloha, Air Wisconsin, Air Tran, America West, American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast, ATA, Piedmont, Miami Air, Alaska, PSA, Mesa, Mesaba, Midwest, Spirit, Horizon & Hawaiian.

The benefit to Union Dental from representing more than one labor organization in a given area is also beneficial to the unions with which UDHI has contracts. Where a particular organization may have scarce membership numbers in certain (usually rural) areas of the US, these numbers can be bolstered by Union Dental representing more than one labor organization and combining the membership numbers into a level that becomes financially viable for a dental offices' participation on a provider level with UDHI.
