Small Molecules for Better Sight
Overview • Company
OphthaliX (OTC: OPLI) is a clinical-stage company focused on the development of ophthalmic drugs
• TechnologyTargeted therapy (A3 adenosine receptor)
• DrugCF101 is a small molecule orally bioavailable drug which was exclusively licensed from Can-Fite BioPharma (TASE: CFBI; OTC: CANFY) to OphthaliX for the use in the ophthalmic field, and is currently developed for:
Dry Eye Syndrome
Glaucoma
Uveitis*
Indication Pre-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
*Preparatory work for a Phase 2
Small Molecules for Better Sight
Platform TechnologyTarget A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR), over-expressed in inflammatory cellsDrug Product CF101, an agonist at the A3AR; small orally bioavailable molecule Mechanism of ActionAnti-inflammatory and neuro-protective effect towards retinal ganglion cells Therapeutic Index Excellent safety profile and anti-inflammatory effect demonstrated in Phase 2 clinical studies

CF101 – Profile
• Highly Selective A3AR Agonist
• Nucleoside derivative • Molecular weight -
510.29 • Water insoluble• Orally bioavailable• Half life time – 8-9
hours
Chemical Profile Anti-Inflammatory Effect
MOA
Broad anti-inflammatory effect demonstrated in pre-clinical pharmacology studies :
• Rheumatoid Arthritis• Osteoarthritis• Inflammatory Bowel Disease• Uveitis• Pulmonary Inflammation • Sepsis
Excellent Safety Profile
• ~1,000 patient experience
• CF101 is safe and well tolerated
• No dose-response relationship is evident between CF101 and adverse events
• low incidence (<2%) of serious AEs and similar across all dose groups including placebo
Small Molecules for Better Sight
CF101 for Ophthalmic Diseases – Rational
• Dry Eye/Uveitis - A3AR agonists have a broad anti-inflammatory effectDemonstrated in pre-clinical pharmacology studies in Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Uveitis, Pulmonary inflammation and Sepsis• Glaucoma - A3AR agonists induce
neuro-protective effects on retinal ganglion cells
Prevention of retinal ganglion cells loss both in vitro and in vivo

End of Dosing
CF101-treated group (blue line) as compared to placebo (pink line) over a 12-weeks dosing period. The difference between the group is clearly apparent and significant (p=0.006). The measurement made at week 14, which is 2 weeks post dosing, shows a clear reduction in effect. Avni et al. Ophthalmology 2010; 117:1287-93

Inhibition of EAU by CF101: fundoscopy. Mice were immunized with a uveitogenic regimen of IRBP and treated with CF101 from Day 7 after immunization. Eyes were examined for disease after pupil dilation under a binocular microscope. Shown are results on Day 20 following immunization.Bar Yehuda et al, Int J Mol Med. 2011; 28(5):727-3
