CBD Gel – ZYN002 THC Pro-Drug Patch – ZYN001 Cannabinoid Cannabidiol (CBD) Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Delivery Permeation-enhanced gel Transdermal patch Activity Non-psychoactive, decreases neuronal hyperexcitability, multiple mechanisms Psychoactive, antinociceptive, agonist of CB1 and CB2 receptors Safety Well characterized with a high therapeutic index Non-mutagenic and non-genotoxic in preclinical studies Delivering CBD transdermally avoids first-pass metabolism and may reduce adverse events by bypassing gastric degradation of CBD to THC Well characterized with a high therapeutic index Non-mutagenic or non-genotoxic in preclinical studies Delivering THC transdermally avoids first-pass metabolism and may reduce psychotropic adverse events Initial Proposed Indications Refractory epilepsy Osteoarthritis Fragile X syndrome Fibromyalgia Peripheral neuropathic pain Patent Protection 2030 2031 Zynerba’s Synthetic Cannabinoids 6

CBD Gel – ZYN002 First and only patent-protected permeation-enhanced synthetic cannabidiol gel formulated for transdermal delivery The permeation enhancer in ZYN002 increases the delivery of CBD through the layers of the skin and into the circulatory system 7 CBD Delivery

GRAPHIC

 


Potential Benefits of ZYN002 Simple dosage form More consistent, controlled delivery with less frequent dosing (1-2 times daily) Avoids first-pass metabolism and GI degradation of CBD to THC, potentially fewer drug-drug interactions and lower incidence of psychoactive side effects CBD Gel – ZYN002 8 Δ8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC) Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) Cannabidiol (CBD) 0.1M HCl 0.1M HCl in vitro Study CBD degraded to THC in simulated gastric fluid Up to 10% of CBD degraded to THC within 3 hours May lead to increased psychoactive effects from THC Transdermal delivery of ZYN002 avoids the GI tract, maintains CBD at physiological pH and prevents degradation of CBD to THC

Anticonvulsant effects of CBD have been demonstrated in multiple in vivo and in vitro models of epilepsy Third-party clinical trial of oral CBD showed significant response vs. placebo 88% of the CBD-treated group had a response to treatment 50% of patients had considerable improvement Third-party open-label trial with botanical CBD to assess safety and dosing in treatment-resistant epilepsy (mostly Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome) showed the median reduction in the number of seizures was 54% at week 12 In a 2013 survey of parents of children with treatment resistant epilepsy, 84% reported a reduction in seizure frequency while taking cannabidiol-enriched Cannabis ZYN002 – Refractory Epilepsy 9

ZYN002 – Osteoarthritis 10 Several pre-clinical studies demonstrate the efficacy of cannabinoids for inflammation and pain in animal models for OA/RA In a third-party placebo-controlled study of 58 subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, botanical CBD/THC combination showed significant improvement at 5 weeks in: Pain on movement Pain at rest Sleep quality Disease Activity Score (DAS- 28) and Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire

ZYN002 – Osteoarthritis continued 11 Results Significant reductions in: Swelling of knee joints Immune cell infiltration Spontaneous pain rating scores Dose-dependent reduction of pro-inflammatory markers (CD11b/c, CGRP, TNF) in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia Methods CBD gel was applied for four days after inducing arthritis in rats Knee joint circumference and histology for immune cells were measured to determine level of inflammation Plasma CBD concentration measured Preclinical Data - Animal Model of Inflammatory Pain (OA and RA) CBD Gel – ZYN002 Dose (mg/day) Plasma Concentrations (ng/mL) 0.6 3.8 ± 1.4 3.1 17.5 ± 4.4 6.2 33.3 ± 9.7 62.3 1629.9 ± 379.0

ZYN002 – Fragile X Syndrome 12 Fragile X Syndrome Most common inherited intellectual disability Autism spectrum disorder Behavioral and learning challenges Psychiatric and neurological complications Caused by a mutation in the Fragile X Mental Retardation gene (FMR1) located on the X chromosome Silences FMR1 gene which codes for fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) No/low expression FMRP leads to reduction 2-AG, negatively affecting synaptic function, plasticity & neuronal connections CBD may effectively treat FXS In mouse knock-out model, inhibition of fatty acid amide hydroxylase (FAAH) improves FXS symptoms CBD inhibits FAAH, thereby increasing 2-AG and anandamide concentrations to modulate neurotransmitter release Restores endogenous stimulation of endocannabinoid receptors

CBD Gel – ZYN002 Initial Market Opportunity 16 Refractory Epilepsy Osteoarthritis Fragile X Syndrome 2012 US Market Size* (# of Patients) 2.2 million 129.5 million 71,000 Potential for orphan drug designation** 2012 EU and Japan* Market Size (# of Patients) 3.1 million 147.2 million 88,542 * Except for FXS data, based on data provided by Decision Resources. Data for epilepsy represents market for all types of epilepsy. FXS data based on 2012 U.S. Census data, The World Bank data, and data provided by the National Fragile X Foundation. ** Fragile X syndrome may qualify for an orphan drug designation in the US because the number of patients in the US with Fragile X syndrome is less than 200,000. Zynerba requested orphan from the FDA in early July.

THC Pro-Drug Patch – ZYN001 17 Patent-protected synthetic D-glyceric acid ester-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in a transdermal patch ZYN001 is a pro-drug A drug administered in an inactive or less active form, designed to enable more effective delivery, and then converted into a different form through a normal metabolic process Unlike THC, ZYN001 is able to be efficiently absorbed into the skin through transdermal delivery After crossing the stratum corneum, ZYN001 is hydrolyzed to THC and glyceric acid under physiological conditions Structure & Conversion Delivery ZYN001

Note: Based upon FDA approved patch products. These results are not indicative of any preclinical or clinical data for ZYN001. Why a Patch? 18 Requirement Purpose Non-oral Avoids first-pass metabolism with increased bioavailability and more consistent plasma levels Controlled More consistent, controlled and sustained delivery No “peaks and valleys” as seen with oral Safe Improved safety profile with lower peak plasma levels Non-invasive Blood Level Time Max. Effective Level Min. Effective Level Oral Dosage Form Transdermal System Illustrative Controlled Delivery

Potential Benefits of ZYN001 Once daily dosing Consistent plasma levels, which we believe will deliver therapeutic benefit with minimal psychoactive side effects thereby distinguishing it from oral and oral mucosal delivery systems Avoidance of first-pass liver metabolism and may reduce psychotropic adverse events.
