Biosceptre HighlightsBroadly Occurring Validated Target

• nfP2X7 identified on the surface of >20 human cancer types.• Plays a role in cancer cell survival and proliferation distinct from functional P2X7

Highly Specific

• Biosceptre targets nfP2X7, a receptor critical for cancer cell survival found only on cancer cells.• Targeting a broad range of cancers including but not limited to lung, breast, prostate and colorectal

3 Therapeutics in Pipeline

• fully human domain antibody for systemic use • polyclonal sheep antibody for topical application • peptide-protein conjugate vaccine therapeutic

1 Clinical Trial Complete • Indication of efficacy• Excellent human safety• Validating data supports other products in pipeline

Comprehensive IP platform

13 Granted US patents – global portfolio - various patents from 2022 to 2035

De-risked and Tractable • Safety indicated in humans and appropriate toxicology studies • GMP production processes established

Single target therefore synergy for mechanism, safety and efficacy

Our target: nfP2X7

Normaltrimer

conformation

Abnormaltrimer

conformation

P2X7 is a ligand-gated non-selective cation channel

P2X7 forms a trimer which opens an ion channel in response to rapid stimulation and opens a large molecular weight pore in response to prolonged ATP stimulation

Exposed nfP2X7 target

The nfP2X7target

Some forms of P2X7 can not form a large molecular weight pore in response to ATP.

These we term nfP2X7 (non functional) BUT critical signalling functionality is retained
