Pathophysiology of Diabetic Nephropathy (DN)  Pyridorin targets pathogenic oxidative chemistries and AGE formation  Pyridorin is an inhibitor and scavenger of these toxic carbonyls and AGEs (AGEs are recognized causative and promoting factors in DN)  DN is the leading cause of dialysis and chronic kidney failure N H 2 O H C H 3 C H O H N H 2 2 C *Contrib Nephrol (2011) Vol 170, p66; Kidney International (2000) Vol 58, Supp 77, pS26 7 An innovative small molecule investigational drug made of pyridoxamine – dihydrochloride DN is one of the most common forms of chronic kidney disease and characterized by albuminuria (albumin present in the urine), hypertension, and progressive renal insufficiency, which can lead to end stage renal disease (ESRD).  Diabetic patients experience elevated levels of pathogenic oxidative chemistries that promote the development and progression of DN*  Hyperglycemia increases pathogenic oxidative chemistries*  Pathogenic oxidative chemistries lead to the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which damage the kidney and promote DN. Pyridorin is an advanced Phase 3 drug candidate targeting an underlying cause of DN Pyridorin™


 
AGEs bind to receptors on the cells that comprise the glomerulus inducing pathological changes which adversely affect their filtration function. AGEs do not form and protein does not bind to receptors on the cells that comprise the glomerulus and therefore no pathology is induced. Pyridorin inhibits the conversion of the Amadori intermediate to an AGE by interfering with the redox metal ions which catalyze this reaction. INHIBITORY EFFECT Pyridorin reacts with and inactivates toxic carbonyls (e.g. MGO, 3-DG) and ROS thus preventing them from forming AGEs. SCAVENGER EFFECT PYRIDORIN PYRIDORIN Glucose Protein Schiff Base Amadori Intermediate Toxic Carbonyls Benign Adducts Redox Metal Ions Capillaries AGE Glomerulus Podocyte Pyridorin Mechanism of Action Note: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) damage protein structure and function which can lead to microvascular injury. 8 *The above graphic is for illustrative purposes only, complete details of the mechanism of action are unknown at this time.


 
Promising early results for Intravenous Pyridorin  Pyridorin targets specific pathogenic oxidative chemistries that emerge in diabetes  These pathogenic oxidative chemistries also emerge in hospital acquired acute kidney injury caused by: − Ischemia reperfusion injury − Contrast dye induced nephropathy  These interventions are thought to induce kidney injury by inducing pathogenic oxidative stress in renal tissues. Commercial Opportunity  Hospitalized patients at risk for AKI  Patients with pre-existing CKD prior to contrast dye or surgical procedure  Large unmet medical need as ~7%* of all inpatients acquire AKI * Kidney Int.

PIONEER Pyridorin Phase 3 Trials Protocol Primary end points: Evaluate Pyridorin 300 mg twice daily (BID) efficacy compared to placebo in reducing the rate of progression of renal disease due to type 2 diabetes mellitus. With time to the composite endpoint consisting of the earliest event amongst:  A Serum Creatinine (SCr) increase of ≥50% from baseline or;  End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) ESRD is defined as the initiation of permanent dialysis, receiving a kidney transplant, or a SCr value ≥ 6.0 mg/dL (528 μmol/L) with a second SCr confirmation value ≥ 6.0 mg/dL (528 μmol/L) obtained 4 – 6 weeks later. Key secondary objectives of the study (Pyridorin 300 mg BID to placebo): 1) Time to the composite endpoint event of a SCr increase of ≥100% from baseline or ESRD 2) Safety of Pyridorin compared to placebo, as assessed by adverse events, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, physical examination, clinical chemistries, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and hematology 3) Additional secondary objectives of the study (Pyridorin 300 mg BID to placebo) at year 1 and 2: 20  Change in SCr from baseline  Change in serum cystatin-C from baseline  Change in urine protein/creatinine ratio (PCR) from baseline  Change in urinary transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) excretion from baseline
