Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain “forward-looking” statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
statements, other than statements of historical or present facts, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our future financial condition, future revenues,
projected costs, prospects, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including our plans to submit for regulatory filings. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “model,”
“should,” “would,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “seek,” “goal,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations,
strategy, plans, or intentions. These statements are based on our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses, or current expectations using currently available information,
and are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is
expressed, implied, or forecasted in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors including but not limited to: our expectations regarding the
timing, costs, conduct, and outcome of our clinical trials, including statements regarding the timing of the initiation and availability of data from such trials; the timing and
likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our product candidates; whether regulatory authorities determine that additional trials or data are necessary in order to obtain
approval; our ability to obtain funding for our operations, including funding necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our product candidates; our
plans to research, develop, and commercialize our product candidates; the commercialization of our product candidates, if approved; the rate and degree of market acceptance
of our product candidates; our expectations regarding the potential market size and the size of the patient populations for our product candidates, if approved for commercial
use, and the potential market opportunities for commercializing our product candidates; the success of competing therapies that are or may become available; our expectations
regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates; the ability to license additional intellectual property relating to our product
candidates and to comply with our existing license agreements; our ability to maintain and establish relationships with third parties, such as contract research organizations,
suppliers, and distributors; our ability to maintain and establish collaborators with development, regulatory, and commercialization expertise; our ability to attract and retain key
scientific or management personnel; our ability to grow our organization and increase the size of our facilities to meet our anticipated growth; the accuracy of our estimates
regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing; our expectations related to the use of our available cash; our ability to develop,
acquire, and advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials; the initiation, timing, progress, and results of future preclinical studies and
developments and projections relating to our competitors and our industry.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations can be found in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Moreover, we
operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors,
nor can we assess the effects of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by these
cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
and Hyperphosphatemia
• Gradual loss of kidney function that can
worsen over time leading to lasting damage
• CKD stages range from 1 to 5
• Stage 5 is End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
• In CKD, hyperphosphatemia is caused by a
chronic dysregulation of mineral metabolism
as a result of progressive kidney damage
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Hyperphosphatemia
Resorption
Absorption
P
• Electrolyte disorder in which untreated
elevated phosphate levels in the blood
lead to cardiovascular complications and
vascular calcification
• Occurs in at least 80% of patients with
Stage 5 CKD on dialysis* (>500,000
patients in the US)

Renazorb Product Profile
§ Renazorb (lanthanum dioxycarbonate nanoparticles) is a novel phosphate
binder treatment for hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD)
§ MOA: Renazorb binds to dietary phosphate in the GI tract which is then
excreted via the feces resulting in reduction of serum phosphate levels
§ Proprietary nanotechnology
§ Enhanced surface area
§ Lower molecular weight
§ Immediate release tablets
§ Smaller pills
§ Swallowed (Not Chewed)
Reduced pill burden = potential for improved patient adherence

“Ideally, we would have phosphate binders with high phosphate-binding
capacity (translating into low pill burden and good patient adherence)…
…we still do not have such a phosphate binder.”1
The daily pill burden of maintenance dialysis
patients is among the highest across various
chronic disease states including HIV/AIDS,
diabetes mellitus, and congestive heart failure2
• 19 pills per day (median)
• 49% of pill burden from phosphate binders
• Higher pill burden was independently associated
with lower quality of life scores (HR-QOL)
• 62% of patients are non-adherent (self-reported)

Efficacy
• Evidence of pre-clinical and clinical efficacy in
acute and chronic kidney diseases
Safety/Tolerability
• Overall safe and well-tolerated
• Most common adverse events (AEs) are related
to vasodilation (headache, flushing, dizziness)
• Associated with gastro-intestinal (GI) tolerability
and rare GI ulcerations and perforations
Pharmacokinetics
• Short half-life (~1 hour), necessitating TID/BID
dosing

• Utilizes a known, safe, chemical linker to
create pro-drug
• Pro-drug addresses gut safety concerns
present with nicorandil
• Controlled release of active drug in
plasma from pro-drug may enable QD

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and
Current Treatment
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Background
• Characterized by a sudden loss of kidney function
• Persistent AKI is characterized by the continued
decreased in urine output or increases in serum
creatinine (as defined by KDIGO) beyond 48 hour
from AKI onset up to day 7
• AKI and CKD can form a continuum whereby initial
kidney injury can lead to persistent renal injury,
eventually leading to CKD
• In most cases the damage to the kidney is
irreversible, and the patient needs to have a renal
transplant or be on dialysis for life
• Treatment options include:
There are no approved medicines to
treat AKI
• Renal replacement therapy
• Renal transplant
• Radical surgery and dialysis

UNI-494 FDA Strategy and Key Milestones
FDA Regulatory Strategy:
• Confirm pro-drug has acceptable tolerability in animal studies at
desired doses
• Identify pro-drug dose(s) for initial human study, Demonstrate
conversion of UNI-494 to nicorandil in humans
• Seek FDA clearance to initiate Phase 1 study (IND approval)
Unique attributes for regulatory approval of UNI-494:
• Leverage pre-clinical and clinical data from nicorandil outside
United States with comparability package
• Design of more homogenous AKI patient population including
patients with CIN where nicorandil has been shown to be
efficacious
Milestones
ü Completed chemical synthesis for animal
studies - 3Q, 2021
ü Initiated animal safety studies - 3Q, 2021
• Complete preclinical studies – 1H, 2022
• File IND – mid-2022
• Initiate Phase 1 clinical trial – 2H, 2022

Investment Highlights
Addressing important patient needs and large markets within kidney disease
• Hyperphosphatemia patients live with extreme treatment burden
• No medicines approved for acute kidney injury (AKI) and limited treatment options for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Product candidates utilizing proven mechanisms of action
• Renazorb: Phosphate binder for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with CKD
• UNI-494: an innovative patented drug in late preclinical development with a novel mechanism of action that targets mitochondria.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in acute and chronic disease pathologies in organ systems with high energy demands like the
kidney, liver, heart and eye
Significantly De-risked Regulatory Pathway for Renazorb
• Pursuing a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for U.S. approval as per guidance and alignment with the FDA
• Ongoing healthy volunteer bio-equivalence study expected to complete this clinical study before the year end
• Ongoing bioequivalence study in healthy volunteers expected to complete by YE22
Cash runway to file Renazorb NDA and to initiate clinical trials for UNI-494 until early 2023
• Closed out-licensing deal in China with Lee’s Pharma for Renazorb
• Ongoing out-licensing discussions for Renazorb with other biopharma partners outside the US for other geographies

  • 2. 2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains certain “forward-looking” statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical or present facts, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our future financial condition, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including our plans to submit for regulatory filings. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “model,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “seek,” “goal,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. These statements are based on our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses, or current expectations using currently available information, and are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied, or forecasted in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors including but not limited to: our expectations regarding the timing, costs, conduct, and outcome of our clinical trials, including statements regarding the timing of the initiation and availability of data from such trials; the timing and likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our product candidates; whether regulatory authorities determine that additional trials or data are necessary in order to obtain approval; our ability to obtain funding for our operations, including funding necessary to complete further development and commercialization of our product candidates; our plans to research, develop, and commercialize our product candidates; the commercialization of our product candidates, if approved; the rate and degree of market acceptance of our product candidates; our expectations regarding the potential market size and the size of the patient populations for our product candidates, if approved for commercial use, and the potential market opportunities for commercializing our product candidates; the success of competing therapies that are or may become available; our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates; the ability to license additional intellectual property relating to our product candidates and to comply with our existing license agreements; our ability to maintain and establish relationships with third parties, such as contract research organizations, suppliers, and distributors; our ability to maintain and establish collaborators with development, regulatory, and commercialization expertise; our ability to attract and retain key scientific or management personnel; our ability to grow our organization and increase the size of our facilities to meet our anticipated growth; the accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing; our expectations related to the use of our available cash; our ability to develop, acquire, and advance product candidates into, and successfully complete, clinical trials; the initiation, timing, progress, and results of future preclinical studies and developments and projections relating to our competitors and our industry. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations can be found in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the effects of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
