1. A novel therapy and companion biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease

2. We have: Identified underlying mechanism driving neurodegeneration Developed patented molecules that prevent further neuron loss Identified biomarker to support pre-symptomatic diagnosis Patented compounds shown to block cell migration in metastatic cancers We are looking for: Partners to support drug development Investors to build the company Outlicence in other areas 2 There is global unmet need, with no drugs licensed since 2002

3. BIOMARKER in blood detects degeneration before symptoms appear += MEDICATION for stopping any further neuronal death PERMANENT PREVENTION of symptom onset! BUT needs identification of the basic brain mechanism... Neurodegeneration: Ideal treatment 3

4. Braak et al., 2011 And only spreads to the cortex in later stages, shown by red shading Alzheimer’s degeneration starts in the brainstem

5. Adult Neurodegeneration is cell development inappropriately activated Cells stabilise, lose plasticity Cell Death Compensation by extant cells Cell Death Mobilise development mechanisms: good in embryo brains The same process is toxic in mature brains Vulnerable cells remain sensitive to growth factors DAMAGE Continuing cycle of cell death : NEURODEGENERATION

6. This scenario proven: A novel peptide high in developing brain is reactivated in Alzheimer’s

7. Peptide drives production of amyloid and p-tau Peptide drives neurodegeneration Peptide increases production of its own target receptor Creating positive feedback loop of neurodegeneration

8. The peptide in spinal fluid is significantly higher in Alzheimer’s disease Promising biomarker Level of peptide

9. A novel therapeutic strategy – NBP-14 Neuro-Bio has designed molecule which protects neurons from the toxic actions of the peptide and of amyloid NBP-14 binds to the α7 receptor in place of the peptide preventing the continuing destructive cycle of neurodegeneration NBP-14 and all derivatives are fully patented NBP-14 is being engineered with the aim of producing a lead drug candidate 9
