Mondias Provides Update on Natural Fungicide Product Development & Commercialization
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: December 05, 2018
CELEXT07 a new botanical agent for grey mold;
Mondias to target small fruit cultivation market
Mondias Natural Products Inc (“Mondias” or “NHP“), (TSXV: NHP), updates the market on results after the completion of a second NSERC ENGAGE funded research project with McGill University on its innovative botanical agent CELEXT07. The studies demonstrated that CELEXT07 when used as a soil drench agent at a single dose or repeated doses significantly reduced Grey Mold (Botrytis cinereal) lesions on two horticultural plants, tomato and lettuce.
Large scale greenhouse trials evaluating the efficacy of CELEXT07 extracts in disease suppression of Grey Mold were performed on two horticultural plants. The infection from Grey Mold on non-detached leaves of soil-drenched plants was significantly reduced. Compared to control treatment, disease index decreased by almost 90%. Other experiments demonstrated the ability of CELEXT07 to significantly reduce Grey Mold lesions on detached leaves (P <0.05). The study also showed that from an economical point of view, a single dose treatment was sufficient.
Grey Mold is a plant pathogen that causes significant devastating diseases on over 500 plant species (including fruits and vegetables). These infections result in annual economic losses between $10 billion to $100 billion worldwide (L. Hua et al. 2018). In addition, about one-third of the food produced worldwide for human consumption is lost after harvest (Gastavsson et al., 2011). Infections by fungus are a major factor of food wastage and Grey Mold is considered one of the most important postharvest decays of fresh fruit and vegetables (Romanazzi et al., 2016).
Mondias’ research will pave the road for the commercialization of a new botanical-based agent for prevention and management of Grey Mold infections in horticultural crops as well as the prevention of lesions on harvested crops. The corporation plans to collaborate with agricultural product firms to develop and commercialize products aimed at reducing food wastage. Being a natural botanical extract, the CELEXT07 agent will readily decompose in the environment and such agents are considered low risk by pesticide regulators due to their natural origin.
Mr. Jean-Philippe Gravel, CEO of Mondias Naturals Inc stated, “For the last 4 years Mondias has been studying the properties of CELEXT07 as well as preparing for its commercialization. We are now targeting partnerships for the commercialization of natural products to bring the CELEXT07 botanical agent to the market in 2019.” According to Allied Market Research, the global fungicide product market had revenues of $11 billion dollars in 2015 and is expected to grow to approximately $17 billion dollars by 2022. Mr. Gravel added, “With its commercialization and partnership strategy, Mondias intends to become a key player in this fungicide market offering a natural solution to the prevention of Grey Mold while helping stimulate plant growth.”
About Grey Mold
Grey Mold (Botrytis cinerea) is a fungus that affects many plant species. It is well known for its infections in wine grapes. In viticulture, it is known as “botrytis bunch rot”. The fungus affects more than 200 plant species and can result in serious economic losses to both field and greenhouse grown crops. The fungus can infect mature or senescent tissues, plants prior to harvest, or seedlings. Horticultural crops include vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, and beans and small fruit crops such as grape, strawberry, and raspberry.
About Mondias Natural Products Inc.
Mondias specializes in the commercialization and development of evidence based botanical products for the health care and bio agriculture markets. The company is already selling both oral and topical botanical agents to help manage unmet medical needs through Holizen Laboratories, one of its divisions. Mondias is also developing botanical based specialty fertilizers for use on household plants, urban gardens, lawns, golf courses, nurseries or greenhouses in collaboration with McGill’s Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

The collaboration is funded in part by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Our focus will be to measure the benefit of using deep convolutional neural networks in detecting anomalies of diabetic retinopathy and classifying the patient by level of severity.
The main outcome of this collaboration is to bring Diagnos’ algorithms to a newlevel of automation, speed and accuracy. “Diagnos is always interested in cutting-edge algorithms in deep learning and with this collaboration, this will enable Diagnos to engage with leading academics to develop state-of-the-art screening solutions,” said André Larente, CEO at Diagnos Inc.
Under the supervision of Professor Ismail Ben Ayed, ÉTS students will work with Diagnos in using deep convolutional neural networks to detect anomalies caused by diabetic retinopathy and classify the patients by level of severity. The images will be provided by our CARA (Computer Assisted Retina Analysis) database. “A data-driven, large-scale and optimization based approach, which promises to deliver retinal image interpretation algorithms with a much higher practical impact,” said Professor Ismail Ben Ayed.
We anticipate that this partnership will increase automation, efficiency and precision for early identification and monitoring of diabetic retinopathy. “Identifying patients in early stages of diabetic retinopathy is our main goal because we can treat them efficiently. Our objective is to refer patients at high risk of going blind,” said Dr Hadi Chakor, CMO at Diagnos Inc.
This is our second collaboration project in Quebec this year. “We are deeply committed to develop our ties in our community. Our technology project with CHUM (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Montréal) was our first large investment in a teaching hospital. This announcement, with the financial support of Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), represents the second step of our strategy to collaborate with an engineering school to foster innovation and speed up our go to market plan. We are building the case from which to grab market share in the North America healthcare market,” said Yves-Stephane Couture, Vice-President of Sales at Diagnos.

Physicians from diverse medical specialties, including oncology, palliative care, as well as mental health, family medicine and anaesthesiology had the opportunity to discuss the place for cannabinoid derived medicines as a potential therapeutic option in pain management. There was a genuine interest into evidence-based medicine to further substantiate their position on cannabinoid derived therapies.
“I am confident that this will be the first of many transparent and collaborative exchanges that Tetra organizes with physicians as we seek to bring cannabinoid-derived medicines into our healthcare system,” said Steeve Neron, Senior Vice-President, Marketing and Medical Affairs. “The level of engagement was encouraging and leads me to believe that physicians are open to consider cannabinoids as a drug they can incorporate into their practice, but without the evidence, they simply will not. This is where Tetra’s scientific data will be invaluable.”
