Contrast Induced Nephropathy (CIN) Market Overview• Cardiac interventions use X-ray and iodinated contrast dye to visualize coronary vessels• In “high risk” patients undergoing PCI* with Chronic Kidney Disease, the dye can cause acute kidney damage – otherwise known as CIN• CIN is the 3rd most common cause of hospital acquired renal insufficiency• CIN consequences go beyond kidney damage, including mortality and significant morbidity• No approved or near-term pharmaceutical therapies * PCI – Percutaneous Coronary Intervention © 2011 CorMedix Inc. 16

Catalytic Iron Causes Tissue and Cell Injury • CKD patient has a pre-existing excess of 7.0 catalytic iron and oxidative stress – “the Baseline perfect storm” 6.0 48 hours after IVP 5.0 P<0.001 • Contrast exposure is associated with a nmol / mg Cr 4.0 further increase in catalytic iron1 +115% 3.0 • Catalytic iron and oxidative stress 2.0 contribute significantly to the underlying cause of CIN 1.0 0.0 • Removal of catalytic iron shown to be Urinary catalytic iron protective in an animal model of CIN1 Rajapurkar M et al Urinary catalytic (bleomycin-detectable) iron following radiocontrast exposure in healthy kidney donors ASN 2006 © 2011 CorMedix Inc. 17
