4. Company Highlights
Focus on pharmacophores with history of safe use
Target small molecules modulating key metabolic networks
Pre-clinical and clinical evidence supporting activity and safety
Initiating safety pharm/tox for IND in Type 2 Diabetes
Business Model: conduct Phase 1through 2a POC
clinical trials and seek a partner
4Q2009: $20M Series A investment by partner, Alticor
5. Background
Modified phytochemical extracts demonstrate selective protein
kinase modulation
1st Generation Product : R200 (Tetrahydro-iso-acids)
Mixture of 3 chemically distinct analogs
Potent anti-inflammatory activity
KDT500: most potent analog
Large patent portfolio protecting our position
8. R200 Safety

No elevation of liver enzymes
No elevation of fecal
Calprotectin indicating
GI safety
Safe to GI system when orally
consumed at therapeutic
doses
9. Type 2 Diabetes Market
Approximately 90-95% of all diabetes cases in the U.S. are
Type 2
>20 million people in the U.S. currently have Type 2 Diabetes
Combined U.S. sales of glitazones alone in 2007 were
> $6.6 Billion
10. Unmet Needs in Diabetes
Therapeutic needs:
Multiple effects not achieved by single agent
(e.g. anti-hyperglycemic, anti-obesity,
hypertriglyceridemia)
Undesired side effects/patient compliance
Metformin: GI effects, lactic acidosis
Secretagogues: weight gain, hypoglycemia, tid dosing
Glitazones: weight gain, edema, liver safety
Insulin: injectable, hypoglycemia, weight gain
