According to their website they are:
"Pioneers in the scientific research and clinical application of the large complex molecule PPS
Arthropharm Australia is a world leader in the research and development of sulfated polysaccharides"

They want people to contact them about Clinical trials for treatment of human arthritis
https://www.arthropharm.com.au/research

The TGA gave them a slap on the wrist for "failure to provide information on a contact person responsible for medicine safety"

Arthropharm seems to be a wholesale distributor. So why are their associated scientists writing papers on PPS? and the website is talking about clinical trials?
They have some patents as well...

Arthropharm own the patent for mammalian treatment: https://patents.google.com/patent/US6593310B1/en
Paul Rennie and Ravi Krishnan's abandonded patent references the Arthopharm patent

Peter Ghosh is on this one
https://patents.google.com/patent/US5145841A/en?assignee=Arthropharm+Pty+Ltd&oq=Arthropharm+Pty+Ltd

It looks like the genesis of paradigm came from Arthropharm. I wonder if there are any competing claims possible down the track.
