2 Safe Harbor Statement The Company cautions you that the statements included in this presentation that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These include statements regarding: the Company's interpretation of the results of its Phase 3 clinical trial for Ketotransdel(r); whether the results from the clinical trial, along with any other clinical trials that may be required by the FDA, will be sufficient to support a 505(b)2 New Drug Approval (NDA) submission; the potential indications for use for Ketotransdel(r); the market opportunity for the Company's products; and the Company's ability to complete additional development activities for products utilizing its proprietary transdermal delivery platform. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in this presentation due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company's business, including, without limitation: the outcome of the final analyses of the data from the Phase 3 clinical trial may vary from the Company's initial conclusions; the FDA may not agree with the Company's interpretation of such results or may challenge the adequacy of the Company's clinical trial design or the execution of the clinical trial; the FDA may continue to require the Company to complete additional clinical trials for Ketotransdel(r) before the Company can submit a 505(b)2 NDA application; the results of any future clinical trials may not be favorable and the Company may never receive regulatory approval for Ketotransdel(r); technological changes or competitive products or pricing may prevent the Company from successfully commercializing its products; and the Company's current need to raise additional funding to complete its product development plans.

Ketotransdel(r)


 

Ketotransdel: Product Profile 9 Ketotransdel is comprised of a transdermal cream formulation of ketoprofen, and our proprietary patented Transdel drug delivery system Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has been found to be among the most efficacious topical NSAIDs Delivers 100mg of ketoprofen per 1g of cream Same dosage as oral ketoprofen when used in recommended dosage of 3x per day Completed Phase 1/2 and Phase 3 trials demonstrated: Statistically significant efficacy Excellent safety and tolerability Minimal blood concentrations


 

10 Pain treatments are the third most-prescribed class of drugs in the U.S. According to market research firm BCC Research the global market for pain relievers was worth $19.1 billion in 2008, and is expected to grow to $32.8 billion by 2013 Market for NSAIDs and Cox-2 inhibitors exceeds $6 billion in the U.S. per year Oral NSAIDs are associated with serious gastro-intestinal, cardiac, renal and liver side effects Withdrawal of Bextra and Vioxx leaves multi-billion dollar market largely replaced by oral NSAIDs Everyday OTC painkillers such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Advil may result in safety concerns and may not be potent or efficacious for acute musculoskeletal pain of moderate intensity Physicians and patients are continuing to seek alternative options for effective and safe pain medications Ketotransdel, if approved by the FDA, could become the first topical NSAID cream product in the U.S. for acute pain management The U.S. transdermal drug delivery market is projected to increase to $4.5 billion in 2012* *Source: U.S. Transdermal Drug Delivery Markets, Frost and Sullivan, August 2006. Ketotransdel Market Opportunity


 

11 The withdrawal of Vioxx and Bextra has resulted in a significant decline in COX-2 prescriptions and a significant increase in NSAID prescriptions After an increase in 2005 when the COX-2's were withdrawn, NSAID TRx's have continued to post steady year-over-year growth Since the introduction of Flector Patch and Voltaren Gel in late 2007 / early 2008, prescriptions for these two topical medications have increased substantially In 2009, Voltaren Gel prescriptions have surpassed Flector Patch prescriptions Note: Graphs denote total prescriptions, per IMS data. 2009YTD figures include monthly IMS TRx through September 2009. Total Rx COX2s Vs. NSAIDs Topical NSAID (Diclofenac) TRx Pain Therapeutic Market Dynamics


 

Clinical Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Study Population: 364 patients Indication: Acute soft tissue injuries (sprains & strains) Dosing Regimen: Ketoprofen vs. Placebo (Vehicle) cream, 1g three times daily over 7 days Primary Endpoint: Change from baseline in pain intensity on Day 3 (VAS) Secondary Endpoints: Safety assessments, various other efficacy variables Pharmacokinetics in subset of patients Clinical Sites: 26 (USA) 12 Ketotransdel Phase 3 Trial


 

Ketotransdel demonstrated statistically significant higher reduction in pain intensity from baseline in the Per Protocol (PP) analysis and a favorable treatment effect in the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) analysis * p< 0.05 PP (n=252) ITT (n=361) PP population included: Pre-specified minimum use of study medication; Valid Day 3 Pain Assessments; No unallowed drug use. Mean reduction from baseline in mm (100 mm Visual Analogue Scale) mm 13 Change from Baseline in Pain Intensity on Day 3 Primary Efficacy Results


 

Ketotransdel (n= 182) Placebo (n=182) All potentially related Adverse Events (AEs): 15 (4.1%) 7 (3.8%) 8 (4.4%) 14 Ketotransdel demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability Low overall incidence of AEs No related gastrointestinal, cardiac, liver, kidney or other serious AEs Few potentially related adverse events (mainly cutaneous) No clinically relevant changes in blood and urine tests Minimal systemic absorption (mean Cmax 39 ng/mL) consistent with previous findings (approximately 1 - 2 % of oral ketoprofen dose) Safety and Pharmacokinetics


 

Ketotransdel achieved statistical significance in its Primary Efficacy Endpoint in the Per Protocol population (p < 0.05) Ketotransdel demonstrated excellent safety and tolerability No treatment related gastrointestinal, cardiac, liver, kidney or other serious adverse events No clinically relevant changes in blood and urine tests Minimal blood concentrations of ketoprofen in pharmacokinetic study, consistent with previous findings Estimated systemic absorption about 1 - 2 % of a comparable oral ketoprofen dose, consistent with previous findings 15 Conclusions - Ketotransdel Phase 3


 

16 Healthy patients with localized pain History of gastrointestinal symptoms / gastrointestinal ulceration History of heart, liver, kidney disease or other serious medical conditions Elderly and Children Intake of multiple drugs for other conditions (minimize drug-to-drug interactions) Corticosteroid use with oral NSAIDs increases adverse risks 15-times Anti-coagulants with oral NSAIDs increase mortality by 12- times Cannot take drugs orally / have swallowing difficulties Patients Who May Benefit From a Topical NSAID


 

17 Provides alternative to address the significant safety concerns associated with oral COX-2 inhibitors / nonselective oral NSAIDs and acetaminophen Broad technology platform that is patent protected Less invasive delivery Faster - delivers drugs in few minutes with no residue Large and growing market opportunity Void in pain management market due to withdrawal of Vioxx and Bextra Excellent safety profile Potential for multiple indications Rx path with the FDA Ketotransdel Competitive Advantages Ketotransdel(r) could address significant unmet medical need for pain management


 

18 Finalize registration strategy Continue partnering discussions Discussions underway with several potential sales and marketing partners Ketotransdel Next Steps


 

19 Lead product - anti-cellulite formulation In June 2009, the Company announced that it entered into a license agreement with JH Direct, LLC for the exclusive worldwide rights to Transdel's anti- cellulite cosmeceutical product which utilizes the Company's Transdel technology Anticipated expansion of cosmetic/cosmeceuticals pipeline to include the following formulations: Anti-aging Hyperpigmentation Varicose veins Pursuing discussions with potential sales and marketing partners for these cosmetic/cosmeceutical products Cosmeceutical Applications of TDS
