Therapeutic Drugs for Central Nervous System (CNS) Disorders: Technologies and Global Markets, PHM068A. 3" " Challenge " The Blood Brain Barrier (“BBB”) A protective barrier that separates the brain from the circulatory system, which blocks harmful chemicals from entering the brain tissue Problem The BBB prevents medicines (anti-cancer drugs, enzymes, antibodies, gene silencing siRNA, etc.) from entering the brain at levels effective for treatment, blocking about: • 98% of small molecule drugs • 100% of large molecule drugs1 Solution biOasis has discovered a naturally occurring biological process that can transport drugs across the BBB and into the brain tissue for the treatment of thousands of CNS diseases and brain disorders Capillary network of tightly woven endothelial cells lining the blood vessels in the brain, regulating transport of essential molecules and maintaining a stable environment 1) Royal Society of Chemistry 4" biOasis Presents: The Transcend Program The Transcend Drug Delivery Platform Patented carriers that deliver medicines across the BBB for the treatment of CNS diseases Transcend offers potential treatments for: " Brain Cancers & Tumours Neurodegenerative Diseases like Alzheimer's Disease Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury Metabolic Diseases like Lysosomal Storage Diseases Gene Silencing Therapy for ALS 5" Breakthrough Solution The Transcend Program Exploits a natural, biological process to deliver medicines into the brain tissue by linking preexisting drugs to a human protein that freely crosses the BBB through receptors located on the brain capillary wall in a process called Receptor Mediated Transcytosis. MTf (Melanotransferrin) • Iron-binding human protein found at low concentrations in the blood • When linked to existing drugs, MTf can deliver effective doses of medicine into the brain, distributing the medicine with a wide distribution throughout the brain tissue MTfp (MTf peptide) • biOasis has discovered the peptide found within the full- length protein (MTf) that is responsible for transport of MTf across the BBB • MTfp has shown improved brain penetration and greater commercial potential over the full-length MTf protein 6" Advantage of MTfp ! Higher commercial value over MTf ! More efficient delivery across the BBB ! Lower cost of production ! Greater consistency in manufacturing ! Improved quality control ! Simpler to link to medicines ! ! ! MTfp in Action Brain Tissue RMT!
