Pharmaceutical concept and

drug development pipeline

SBG - Clinical development portfolio

Addressing unresolved medical problems in major disease areas

No well established therapies, few new product candidates in development

Commercial aspects of SBG:

• Innovative products - attractive pricing,

• Underdeveloped market - high growth potential,

• Hospital products - easier market access

11

Preclinical Phase I Phase II Phase III NDA

Diabetic ulcers

Oral mucositis

Immunotherapy of cancer

IBD

12

Pharmaceutical conceptSBG stimulates the immune system

SBG (Soluble Beta Glucan)

a unique, highly bioactive,

soluble beta-1,3/1,6-glucan

from cell walls of yeast

alien to the human body

How it works:

stimulates the innate immune

system

enhances the efficacy of the

adaptive immune system

addresses a range of diseases

Mechanisms of actionSBG binds to receptors on macrophages

13

CR3 (CD11b/CD18)-receptor SBG

Toll like receptor 2/6

AB

C

Dectin-1

“Human b-glucan receptor”

In-vitro resultsSBG stimulates cytokine production in macrophages

Toxicology/safety in animalsSBG in in-vitro and in-vivo animal studies

Very favourable toxicity

No potential clinical hazard identified for proposed

human use, for either topical or oral administration

16

No potential found for mutagenicity or genotoxicity

Minimal lethal dose could not be found in toxicity studies in

rodents or non-rodents

NOEL dose of 200 mg/kg/day after oral administration for 28

days in rats, 300mg/kg/day in dogs

Demonstrated good local tolerance after topical application
