A2E and oxydative stress

• A2E is a derivative of visual pigment

• A2E accumulates in Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) cells

• A2E is a very reactive molecule that causes oxidative stress with exposure to light, leading to macular degeneration

PHOTO-OXIDATIVE STRESS AND MACULAR DEGENERATION

Photo-oxidative stress leads to: • Lipofuscin accumulation

• Drusen formation, distorts retina (affecting vision)

• Death of retina cells and progressive blindness

19

Page 20: Important Information and Forward Looking Statements€¦ · •biophytis is a public company listed on the alternext market of euronext paris stock exchange since july 13, 2015.

• Cell death

• Free radicals production

• VEGF production

• Inflammation

PPAR ACTIVATION

MACUNEOS activates PPAR nuclear receptors and protects the retina from oxidative stress associated withaccumulation of A2E.

20

MACUNEOS is an activator of PPARs and limits the degeneration of the retina caused by photo-oxidative stress in the presence of A2E
