This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in Items 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the Schedule 13D that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Nordic Biotech Venture Fund II K/S (“Nordic”) on March 5, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC by Nordic, Nordic Biotech General Partner II, Christian Hansen and Florian Schönharting (the “Reporting Persons”) on April 28, 2010, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC by the Reporting Persons on September 22, 2010 (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended by this Amendment No. 3, all information contained in the Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Persons knowledge and belief, true, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 3.
 
Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is supplemented by adding the following to the existing disclosure:
 
On January 4, 2011, Nordic, the Company and the Limited Partnership entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement. Nordic and the Company were each parties to the Joint Venture Agreement related to the development and commercialization in North America of Hedrin™, a non-pesticide, one-hour, treatment for pediculosis (head lice). Nordic and the Company have had various disputes relating to the Limited Partnership and Nordic’s option to purchase Company common stock in exchange for a portion of Nordic’s interest in the Limited Partnership (the “Put Right”), and Nordic’s warrant to purchase Company common stock (the “Warrant”). The Settlement and Release Agreement resolves all disputes between the Company, on the one hand, and Nordic and the Limited Partnership, on the other.

In accordance with the principal terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement:

 
·
The Put Right and Warrant have been terminated. Accordingly, Nordic no longer has any right to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. Nordic believes that the Put Right would have permitted Nordic to become the owner of 183,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the Warrant would have entitled Nordic to purchase 33,333,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
·
Nordic made an additional capital contribution to the Limited Partnership of $1,500,000, which includes $300,000 contributed to the Limited Partnership by Nordic on December 14, 2010.
 
·
The Company’s equity interest in the Limited Partnership was reduced to 15%, and further reductions in the Company’s equity interest are possible if and when Nordic makes additional capital contributions to the Limited Partnership.  Capital contributions by Nordic will not reduce the Company's ownership in the Limited Partnership below 5%.
 
·
The Limited Partnership agreed to pay the Company a settlement amount of $500,000, less any Excess Payment (defined below), in two installments.  The first installment of $100,000 has been paid and the second installment of $400,000 is due within five (5) business days after the Company has received written evidence that the holders of the Company’s 12% Secured Notes, $1,315,000 of which has matured and is now past due, have either converted the 12% Secured Notes into shares of equity securities of the Company prior to December 31, 2011or agreed to extend the maturity of the 12% Secured Notes to December 31, 2011 by such date.  An "Excess Payment" is the amount by which Nordic’s and the Limited Partnership’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other costs incurred with respect to the Settlement and Release Agreement, including any challenge to the enforceability of the Settlement and Release Agreement, including in a bankruptcy proceeding, exceed $70,000.
 
·
The Limited Partnership has paid $75,000 to the Company under the Services Agreement, dated February 21, 2008, and that Services Agreement is terminated.
 
·
The Joint Venture Agreement, dated January 31, 2008, as amended on February 18, 2008, and as further amended by an Omnibus Amendment on June 9, 2008, between the Company and Nordic; the Shareholders’ Agreement, dated February 21, 2008, as amended by an Omnibus Amendment on June 9, 2008, with respect to the Limited Partnership; and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 25, 2009, were terminated.
 

 
 
·
The Limited Partnership Agreement, dated February 21, 2008, as amended by an Omnibus Amendment on June 9, 2008, has been consolidated and amended to include new and modified terms, some of which are described above.  In addition, under the new consolidated and amended limited partnership agreement, the Company has no right to participate in the management of the Limited Partnership or its Hedrin assets and has limited rights of a minority Partner.
 
·
Messrs. Michael G. McGuinness and Douglas Abel resigned from the Board of Directors of the Limited Partnership.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is amended by deleting the item in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:
 
Not applicable.

Item 5 is amended by deleting sections (a) through (c) and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

(b)  None of the Reporting Persons have or will have sole power to vote or to direct the vote of, or sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of any shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
(c)  Other than the transaction reported in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D/A, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transaction in the Common Stock of the Company in the past 60 days.
 
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
