CPI-613® (devimistat): Mechanism of Action (MoA)

oxaloacetate
acetyl-CoA
succinate
fumarate
malate
glucose
glutamate
glutamine
PDH
KGDH
LipidsProteinsNucleic Acids
Cancer cells extensively reconfigure normal metabolism:
re-regulated carbon flux for controlled provision of metabolic building blocks needed for growth
Increased requirement for carbon backbones
Two major re-regulated control points input virtually all carbon into cancer cell Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle:
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH); inputs pyruvate carbon Alpha-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase (KGDH); inputs glutamine-derived
carbon
Multi Targeted Approach – selectively blocks PDH and KGDH, through their tumor cell re-regulation, each by a distinct mechanism, ultimately
triggering cell death, while sensitizing to most other drugs.

MoA: CPI-613® (devimistat) Targeting is Highly Selective for Tumor Cells, Producing High Therapeutic Index & Very Low Clinical Toxicity
11
This powerful approach to target cancer metabolism is currently in development
CPI-613® (devimistat): Key Differentiators
devimistat
Highly Selective:selectively targets altered metabolism in cancer cells
Less Toxic: minimally toxic to healthy cells (highly safe & tolerable)
Allows for extended treatment courses (reduces likelihood of relapse)
Can be used in combination with other drugs Potential to treat elderly patients Potential to treat surgically unresectable cancers
Attacks Multiple Targets
(PDH, KGDH)
Potential to treat different cancers including: Difficult-to-treat cancers High risk cancers Treatment-resistant
cancers Advanced stage cancers
etc.
Less vulnerable to emergence of drug
resistance
Broad Spectrum Activities:
altered metabolism observed in different types of cancers
Targets Metabolic Pathway
Unique target that increases responses in traditionally resistant tumor types
Expected to suppress metabolism-based resistance to companion Standard of Care(s)

Significant Synergy is Observed withFOLFIRINOX, nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) or gemcitabine
FOLFIRINOX = 25μM oxaliplatin, 30μM irinotecan,100μM 5-FU in RPMI/2mM glucose, 48 hrs.
We expect CPI-613® (devimistat) suppression of oncogene signaling to engender synergy with most Standard of Care (SoC), including radiation, RTK inhibitors, and immunotherapy
This in vitro synergy is consistent with the strong in vivo synergy observed in PDAC clinical trials

CPI-613® (devimistat) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Preclinical, Clinical Experience and Ongoing Trials
Significant Synergy is Observed with cytarabine or doxorubicin
OCI-AML3 (monocytic AML) and MFL2 (murine AML) cell lines were exposed to cytarabine (Ara) or doxorubicin (Dox) with and without devimistat at 25 or 50 mmol/L (clinically achievable doses) and assessed viability
Cells exposed to chemotherapy and devimistat were significantly more sensitive compared with cells treated with chemotherapy alone
Pharmacologic inhibition of the TCA with CPI-613® (devimistat) increases sensitivity to cytarabine (Ara) or doxorubicin (Dox) in AML cell lines
