MM-D37K Summary

• Product: chimeric peptide based on CPP platform technology for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment with possible expansion to other cancer treatment indications;

• Mechanism of action: activates apoptosis in cancer cells using cycline-dependent kinase inhibition mechanism;

• Market potential: Global CRC market ~ $7 billion with unmet clinical need to decrease toxicity of current

chemotherapy as well as to prolongate life of patients with metastatic forms of cancer; Russian CRC market- $60 million;

• Competitive advantages: low peptide toxicity together with additive/synergiс effect with traditional chemotherapeutic agents;

• In vitro and in vivo activity demonstrated in different tumor types;

• Development status: preparing regulatory registration package to initiate clinical trials on patients with gastric cancers.

Global CRC Market

• Volume ~ $7 bln in 2011;

• Forecast ~ $11.5 bln in 2017 ;

• Drivers: population growth, increase in life expectancy, cancerogenic diet.

Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer characterized by neoplasia in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix

Number of new CRC cases diagnosed per

year

CRC is one of the leading causes of all cancer deaths worldwide and accounts for more than 600 000 deaths every year (WHO, 2011).

Apoptosis activation

MM-D37K is a “chimeric” peptide:

1) Transport sequence

2) Cytotoxic sequence

cyclin D

Page 9: MetaMax presentation for Skolkovo

• Fast speed of penetration into cells;

• The dynamics of accumulation in normal and tumor cells do not differ on the nature and rate of accumulation;

• The peptide is able to cross the membrane in both directions;

• It is shown that the greatest activity is typical for the p16-Antp vector (MM-D37K);

• High efficacy against wide spectrum of cancer types;

• Additive effect with etoposide, synergistic effect with taxol.

Short-term human tumors:

• The most sensitive lines — colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer;

• Increased level of induced apoptosis in lymphocytes of patients (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) compared with healthy lymphocytes.

• Toxicity/safety studies:

Up to 100 mg/kg – mice, rats and rabbits (both sexes)

MM-D37K administration does not cause pathological changes in the brain, internal and endocrine organs, does not affect water and food consumption.

Pharmacokinetic studies:

• Accumulation in vascularised organs – liver, spleen, lung and kidney;

• Fast blood clearance:

- Route of administration — intravenous

- Method of detection- LC-MS (ESI-TOF)

Efficacy studies:

• Activity against gastrointestinal cancers;

• Additive effect with 5-fluorouracil

• Route of administration — intravenous

R&D Activities

12

Peptide screening based on:

•Best energy binding with target protein CDK4(6) – Vina and Umbrella sampling methods;

•Conformation changes in target protein CDK4(6).

Black — in vitro results of different p16 sequences (Fåhraeus R et al “Characterization of the cyclin-

dependent kinase inhibitory domain of the INK4 family as a model for a synthetic tumour suppressor molecule”

Oncogene. 1998 Feb 5;16(5):587-96.)

Red — computer modeling results

Possible commercialization results:

•pipeline development — p16 protein sequence optimization;

•pipeline/collaboration development — new sequences that inhibit “hot” targets;

•custom services — new sequences that inhibit “hot” targets for biotech companies and big pharma.
