Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results or operations.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Net Loss per Common Share
 
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debentures.
 
The following table shows the number of potentially outstanding dilutive common shares excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation as they were anti-dilutive:

In addition, the Company has issued Convertible Debentures, to investors.
 
Pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Series C Debentures, the Company, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the Debenture at any time prior to the Maturity Date (the “Redemption”). If the Company intends to repurchase the Debenture, and if the closing bid price of the common stock is greater than $5.25 on the Redemption Date, unless the Holder, on or prior to the Redemption Date, elects to receive the “Redemption Payment”, as that term is defined herein, the Company shall pay to the Holder: (i) 952,381 shares of common stock in consideration of the exchange of the principal amount of the Debenture; and (ii) any and all accrued coupon interest. If on or prior to the Redemption Date, the Holder elects to receive the Redemption Payment, or the closing bid price of the common stock is less than $5.25, the Company shall issue to the Holder: (i) the principal amount of the Debenture; (ii) any accrued coupon interest; (iii) additional interest of 7% per annum for the period from the date of issuance of the Debenture to the Redemption Date; and (iv) warrants to purchase 619,048 shares of common Stock which shall expire in three years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $6.05 per share of common Stock (the “Redemption Warrants”, and collectively with (i) – (iv), the “Redemption Payment”). The Company shall use its best efforts to register the shares underlying the Redemption Warrants under a “shelf” registration statement, provided same is available to the Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Coupon interest payable quarterly related to the Series C debenture is payable in cash or shares of common stock at the average of the open and close price at the option of the Holder.
 
At June 30, 2017 the number of potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock into which the Series C debentures can be converted based upon the conversion provisions contained in the debenture is 952,381.
 
The Company has also issued 4,348,744 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to investors and others as of June 30, 2017. Only in the event of a “Change of Control” of the Company, each Series A preferred share is convertible to 3.5 shares of its new common stock. A “Change of Control” is defined as an event in which the Company’s shareholders become 60% or less owners of a new entity as a result of a change of ownership, merger or acquisition of the Company or the Company’s intellectual property. In the absence of a Change of Control event, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock, and does not carry any dividend rights or any other financial effects. At June 30, 2017, the number of potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock into which these Series A Preferred shares can be converted into is 15,220,604 and is not included in diluted earnings per share since the shares are contingently convertible only upon a Change of Control.
 
The following represents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share calculations for loss from operations:

Series B and Series C debentures were excluded from the loss per share calculation for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 because the impact is anti-dilutive. Additionally, the Series A Preferred Shares are contingently convertible instruments, where the contingency is not based upon the price of the Company’s stock or the convertible instruments. The necessary conditions for conversion (see above) have not been satisfied and the potential shares are not included pursuant to ASC 260-10-55-44.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheet and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, accounting for share-based compensation, accounting for derivatives and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value for applicable assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and we consider assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be 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 and would be charged to earnings. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company has not recorded an impairment charge for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method. The Company generally assigns useful lives of thirty years for assets classified as GMP facility, fifteen years for assets classified as furniture and fixtures, ten years for assets classified as lab equipment, and five years for assets classified as office equipment. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations
Trademarks and Patents (Policy Text block)
Trademarks and Patents
 
The Company amortizes the costs of trademarks and patents on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, the terms of the exclusive licenses and/or agreements, or the terms of legal lives of the patents, whichever is shorter. Upon becoming fully amortized, the related cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the preclinical and/ or clinical trials of drug candidates, compensation and other expenses for research and development, personnel, supplies and development materials, costs for consultants and related contract research and facility costs. Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed as incurred.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718 – Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all shared-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock options. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.
 
The fair value of common stock issued as employee compensation is the average of the open and close share price on the date the common shares are issued.
 
The Series A preferred shares are not traded in any market. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Series A preferred shares issued as employee compensation are presented in Note 8 to the financial statements.
 
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model.  The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:
 
Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior into the fair value of the instruments. It may be appropriate to use the simplified method, if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term.
 
Expected volatility of the Company’s shares and the method used to estimate it:  Expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the option.
 
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends: The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.
 
Risk-free rate(s):  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the option and similar instruments.
 
The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
 
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties other than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
 
The Company follows the provisions of “ASC 505 – Equity”, which accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services. Pursuant to ASC 505, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance is reached. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Series A Preferred shares are presented in Note 8 to the financial statements.
 
The Company uses the average of the open and close share price of the Company’s common stock at each measurement date to determine the fair value of the restricted common stock issued as compensation for goods and services.
 
The Company has issued securities to acquire goods or services at or after the delivery of the goods or services for which it contracted. The securities when issued are fully vested and the Company has recognized such issuances as an immediate expense.
 
The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:
 
Expected term of share options and similar instruments: The expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the contractual term of the instruments. 
 
Expected volatility of the Company’s shares and the method used to estimate it.  Expected volatility is based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the contractual term of the option and similar instruments.
 
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual term of the option and similar instruments.
 
Risk-free rate(s). The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual term of the option and similar instruments.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Tax Provision
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted statutory rates to net operating loss carryforwards and to the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company recognizes uncertainty in income taxes in the financial statements using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company applies the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions, commencing at the adoption date of the applicable accounting guidance, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of such date. Additionally, there have been no unrecognized tax benefits subsequent to adoption. The Company has opted to classify interest and penalties that would accrue, if any, according to the provisions of relevant tax law as general and administrative expenses, in the statements of operations. For the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 there was no such interest or penalty.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Concentrations of Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11. “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 revises the guidance for instruments with down round features in Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in Subtopic 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities. ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim. ASU 2017-11 provides that upon adoption, an entity may apply this standard retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retaining earnings in the fiscal year and interim period adoption. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated.  The new standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.  Management has adopted ASU 2014-15 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017.
