North Carolina biotechnology firm Oxygen Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ:OXBT) is researching a treatment for traumatic brain injury, but the company is preparing to raise $4.6 million for work on its other lines of business.

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, based in Morrsiville, North Carolina, said that it has entered into an agreement to sell securities in a private placement to an unnamed institutional investor. The convertible notes will bear a 15 percent interest rate payable in cash or stock that will  mature in three years. The notes can be converted to Oxygen stock at any time after issuance at $2.225 per share.

Oxygen Biotherapeutics develops products that enhance the delivery of oxygen to damaged tissue. The company is currently in the midst of clinical trials on a drug candidate intended to improve oxygen delivery for brain injury patients. The new funds will be used for Oxygen Biotherapeutics’ dermatology and cosmetics business, which has a commercialized skin care product.

The company is also developing a wound care product based on the same principles of enhanced oxygen delivery. The U.S. Department of Defense is funding preclinical work on the wound care candidate.
