| Reclassifications |
Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, total liabilities, total shareholders’ equity(deficit), or net loss. |

| Going Concern |
Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company is currently in the development stage with losses for all periods presented. The Company incurred a net loss of $6,161,144 for the six months ended November 30, 2013, and has an accumulated deficit of $40,163,966 and working capital of $7,973,301 as of November 30, 2013. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of one or more of its drug therapies, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, outsource manufacturing of each such approved drug therapy, and ultimately to attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through debt and equity offerings to fund its business plan. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors. |

The Company incurred a net loss of $9,568,301 for the period ended May 31, 2013, has an accumulated deficit of $34,002,819, and a working capital deficit of $2,388,138 as of May 31, 2013. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, complete development of its product candidates, obtain U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, outsource manufacturing of the product candidates, and ultimately attain profitability. The Company intends to seek additional funding through equity and debt offerings to fund its business plan. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these endeavors. |
| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Cash |
Cash The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of six months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2013 or May 31, 2013. Cash is maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. |
Cash The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2013 or May 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. |
| Identified Intangible Assets |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets under U.S. GAAP, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. There were no impairment charges for the three and six months ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, and for the period October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2013. |
Identified Intangible Assets The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying value, the asset is considered impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset (See Note 11 for acquisition of patents). There were no impairment charges for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, or for the period October 28, 2003 through May 31, 2013. The value of the Company’s patents would be significantly impaired by any adverse developments as they relate to the clinical trials pursuant to the patents acquired as discussed in Notes 9 and 11. |
| Research and Development |
Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. |

| Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-Based Compensation U.S. GAAP requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The expense is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award (requisite service period). The Company accounts for common stock options and common stock warrants based on the fair market value of the instrument using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing certain weighted average assumptions such as expected stock price volatility, term of the options and warrants, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield at the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock at consistent intervals. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method,” as the Company’s stock options are “plain vanilla” options and the Company has a limited history of exercise data. For common stock options and warrants with periodic vesting, the Company recognizes the related compensation costs associated with these options and warrants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
U.S. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested option forfeitures at 0% for all periods presented. |

The computation of the expected option term is based on the “simplified method” as the Company’s stock options are “plain vanilla” options and the Company has a limited history of exercise data. For common stock options and warrants with graded vesting, the Company recognizes the related compensation costs associated with these options and warrants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. U.S. GAAP requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on limited historical experience of forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested option forfeitures at 0% as of May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012. |
| Preferred Stock |
Preferred Stock As of May 31, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval. As of May 31, 2013, the Company has authorized the issuance of 400,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (see Note 4). The remaining preferred shares authorized have no specified rights other than the shares are non-voting and no par value. |
|
| Deferred Offering Costs |
Deferred Offering Costs In connection with a stock rescission liability as discussed at Note 3, the Company has recorded approximately $97,000 in deferred offering costs as of November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively. These deferred offering costs have been recorded as a current asset for the respective periods. The asset will be offset against equity and reduce equity at the end of the applicable period during which the investors described in Note 3 do not assert their rescission rights and retain their shares. Conversely, if the investors assert their rescission rights and forfeit their shares, the deferred offering costs will be expensed at that time. During the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Company incurred $120,000 in direct costs associated with the issuance of convertible notes as described at Note 4, and recorded $116,668 in amortization expense for the six months ended November 30, 2013. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $3,332 as of November 30, 2013 are included as a current asset as a component of deferred offering costs, and are being amortized over the life of the convertible notes. During the six months ended November 30, 2013, the Company incurred approximately $2,084,000 in direct incremental costs associated with sale of the equity securities as described in Note 6. The offering costs were recorded as a component of equity when the proceeds were received. The offering was completed on October 23, 2013. |
Deferred Offering Costs In connection with a stock rescission liability as discussed at Note 3, the Company has recorded approximately $97,000 and $677,000 in deferred offering costs as of May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012, respectively. These deferred offering costs have been recorded as a current asset for the respective periods. The asset is amortized and reduces equity on a pro rata basis with the decreases in the rescission liability. If investors exercise their rescission rights and forfeit their shares, the deferred offering costs would be expensed at that time. |
| Stock for Services |
Stock for Services The Company periodically issues common stock, warrants and common stock options to consultants for various services. Costs of these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. |

| (Loss) Per Common Share |
Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents. The effects of potential common stock equivalents are not included in computations when their effect is anti-dilutive. Because of the net losses for all periods presented, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same since including the additional shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share calculation. Common stock options and warrants to purchase 34,366,833 and 17,968,340 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for these periods. Additionally, as of November 30, 2013, 95,100 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock can potentially convert into 951,000 shares of common stock, and $4,621,250 of convertible debt can potentially convert into 6,182,179 shares of common stock. |

Common stock options and warrants to purchase 18,146,938, 10,327,664 and 18,146,938 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period October 28, 2003 to May 31, 2013, respectively, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for these periods. Additionally, as of May 31, 2013, 95,100 shares of Series B convertible stock can potentially convert into 951,000 shares of common stock, and $6,021,250 of convertible debt can potentially convert into 8,106,282 shares of common stock based on fixed conversion prices ranging from $.65 to $.75 per share. |
| Income Taxes |
Income Taxes Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Future tax benefits for net operating loss carry forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (ASC 740-10). A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there are no unrecognized benefits for all periods presented. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities for tax years ending after 2009. |

| Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2013. Operating results for the three and six months ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 and the period October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2013, (b) the financial position at November 30, 2013, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012 and the period October 28, 2003 through November 30, 2013, have been made. |

| Financial Instruments |
Financial Instruments At November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The Company’s notes payable have market rates of interest, and accordingly, the carrying values of the notes approximate the fair value less the applicable discount arising from the beneficial conversion feature and the value of attached warrants, as required by U.S. GAAP. |
