================================================================================ Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE INYX SELECTED BY ASTRAZENECA TO DEVELOP AND PRODUCE NON-OZONE-DEPLETING HFA-`PULMICORT' ASTHMA SPRAY FOR EUROPEAN MARKETS - Initial Multi-Year, Contract Valued At Over $6.5 Million Annually to Inyx NEW YORK - June 29, 2004 - Inyx, Inc. (OTC BB: IYXI), an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a focus on niche drug delivery technologies and products, announced today that it has been awarded a multi-year contract by AstraZeneca AB, a major international healthcare company, to assist in the development and production of a non-ozone depleting hydrofluoralkane (HFA) version of AstraZeneca's Pulmicort asthma spray for European markets. Based on an initial three and a half-year contract, which has extension options, Inyx's wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary, INyX Pharma Limited, will immediately commence development and commercialization work on AstraZeneca's HFA-version of Pulmicort, one of the world's leading asthma medicines. The contract is valued at over $6.5 million annually to Inyx, based on present sales of the chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) version of Pulmicort. Subject to regulatory approval in European markets, commercial production is planned to commence in the first quarter of 2005. Pulmicort is an inhaled anti-inflammatory glucocorticosteroid (budesonide), primarily for once- or twice-daily maintenance treatment of asthma. Pulmicort is also indicated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in some countries. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 100 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the fourth greatest cause of death worldwide. Currently, Pulmicort utilizes CFC as an aerosol gas propellant, which is an ozone-depleting agent. The European Union has implemented a ban on ozone-depleting agents such as CFC in pharmaceutical products. Dr. Jack Kachkar, Chairman and President of Inyx, said, "We are extremely gratified to have been selected by AstraZeneca for their HFA-Pulmicort program in Europe. This contract reflects Inyx's expertise in converting CFC aerosol pharmaceuticals to HFA drug delivery products, as we have already conducted such conversion for other clients in Europe and Canada. "The selection by AstraZeneca," he added, "is a significant milestone event for Inyx."
