June,  2016:  Nemus  and  Teewinot  plan  to  collaborate  to  “disrupt”  the  cannabinoid  market  •  Nemus  is  dedicated  to  “disrup-ng”  the  cannabinoid    space  by  introducing  prodrug  and  

analogue  versions  of  cannabinoids  that  are  designed  to  improve  efficacy  and  safety  versus  naturally  derived  counterparts  

•  Nemus  signed  a  leGer  of  intent  with  Teewinot  Life  Science  Corp.  to  manufacture  biosynthe-cally  produced  cannabinoid  molecules  based  on  Nemus’  proprietary  prodrug  technology  

•  We  believe  biosynthe-cally  produced  cannabinoids  offer  significant  cost-­‐efficient  manufacturing  and  enhanced  produc-on  scheduling  not  associated  with  plant-­‐derived  or  chemically  synthesized  produc-on  

•  Teewinot’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Full  Spectrum  Laboratories,  Ltd.,  has  been  issued  mul-ple  patents  related  to  biosynthe-c  methods  and  produc-on  capabili-es  

•  This  collabora-on  will  permit  Nemus  to  produce  both  major  (THC  and  CBD)  and  minor  cannabinoids  for  development  as  both  poten-al  second-­‐  and  third-­‐genera-on  cannabinoid-­‐based  therapies

 –  “Due  to  extensive  first-­‐pass  metabolism  and  high  lipid  

solubility,  a  frac-on  of  the  drug  reaches  the  circula-on”1      

–  “The  pharmacologic  effects  of  Marinol  are  dose-­‐related  and  subject  to  considerable  inter-­‐pa-ent  variability”1  

–  “Intoxica-on  type  reac-ons  appear  dose-­‐related  due  to  great  inter-­‐pa-ent  drug  level  variability”  2

NB1222:  Chemotherapy-­‐Induced    Nausea  and  VomiIng  (CINV)  

•  There  are  an  es-mated  15  million  cancer  cases  globally  according  to  the  Interna-onal  Agency  for  Research  on  Cancer  

•  25%-­‐30%  of  pa-ents  receive  chemotherapy;  of  the  chemotherapy  recipients,  70%-­‐80%  experience  CINV  

•  The  global  CINV  market  exceeds  $1.3  B

Dronabinol  10  mg   THC  10  mgEg  

•  Bioavailability:  Dronabinol  has  been  found  to  have  a  bioavailability  of  6%-­‐15%  while  a  prodrug  of  THC  administered  via  suppository  yielded  a  bioavailability  of  roughly  70%*  

•  AbsorpIon:  Orally  administered  dronabinol  can  have  erra-c  absorp-on  from  the  gut  coupled  to  varying  plasma  levels  due  to  first-­‐pass  metabolism  in  the  liver;  a  suppository  avoids  the  upper  GI  tract  and  thereby  de-­‐risks  the  nega-ve  effect  of  first-­‐pass  metabolism  on  the  drug  pharmacokine-cs  

•  Adverse  Events:  Oral  dronabinol  has  been  associated  with  nausea  and  vomi-ng  adverse  events;  a  suppository  route  of  administra-on  mi-gates  that  side  effect  

•  PharmacokineIcs:  THC  prodrug  dosing  using  a  suppository  allows  greater  drug  exposure  (graph  above)  and  maintenance  within  the  therapeu-c  window  versus  peak/trough  PK  with  oral  dosing

Chemotherapy-­‐Induced  Peripheral    Neuropathy  (CIPN):  Market  Data  •  CIPN  is  a  dose-­‐dependent  complica-on  associated  with  many  types  of    

chemotherapeu-c  agents  

•  In  addiIon  to  severe,  someImes  unremimng  pain,  it  can  also  lead  to  premature  discon-nua-on  of  chemotherapy.    

•  No  agents  have  been  shown  to  prevent  CIPN.  There  is  an  unmet  medical  need  for  therapies  that  can  mi-gate    pain  without  complica-ons  like  addicIon  and  gastrointesInal  obstrucIon  

•  The  CIPN  market  in  the  United  States  exceeds  $500  MM  (LifeSci  Advisors,  2013)  and  the  parallel  opioid-­‐induced  cons-pa-on  market  is  es-mated  to  be  $600  MM  globally  (GlobalData,  2015)  

•  The  overall  global  pain  market  is  projected  to  be  $35  billion  by  2017*  

•  The  market  is  searching  for  “abuse  resistant”  analgesic  alternaIves    *  GBI  Research:  Global  Pain  Markets,  2015

NB2111:  exhibits  significant  analgesia  

•  NEMUS  has  signed  a  research  agreement  with  UM  to  screen  mul-ple  CBD-­‐related  deriva-ves  in  validated  animal  models  of  CIPN  

•  NB2111  is  a  CBD-­‐like  molecule  that  has  been  tested  in  a  murine  model  of  tac-le  allodynia  replica-ng  the  neuropathy  associated  with  exposure  to  the  chemotherapeu-c  agent  of  cispla-n  (used  in  lung,  breast  and  colon  cancers)  

•  NB2111  resulted  in  significant  analgesia  in  this  model  with  coverage  commensurate    with  that  seen  using  the  highest  dose  of  morphine  exposure  

•  Next  steps  in  development  include  advancing  the  tes-ng  to  assess  maximum  tolerable  dose  in  animal  studies  and  developing  the  formula-on  of  the  compound  to  make  it  suitable  for  parenteral  and  non-­‐parenteral  dosing  

•  NEMUS  and  UM  will  con-nue  assessing  other  forms  of  CBD  deriva-ves  in  an  effort  to  develop  therapeuIc  opIons  for  mulIple  types  of  pain  syndromes  (e.g.  migraine)  and  possible  anI-­‐addicIve  uses  to  combat  the  global  opioid  addic-on  crisis
