  1. NAEJA Pharmaceutical Inc. INTEGRATED MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY International Research for Global Health

  2. Drug discovery Contract Research Organization (CRO) • Previously SynPhar • Privately owned • 63,000 ft2 facility • Based in Edmonton, Canada

  3. Core ExpertisePre-Clinical Development IND & Clinical Trials Lead Optimization Target Validation HIT Validation Lead Identification

  4. Track Record

  5. Success Stories: Anti-infectives SYNPHAR TAIHO IND & Clinical Trials Lead Optimization HIT Validation Lead Identification Tazobactam Design, Synthesis, & Screening of -Lactamase Inhibitor 4 Year Program Collaboration with Taiho Pharmaceuticals Marketed by Wyeth

  6. Success Stories: Inflammation SYNPHAR TAIHO IND & Clinical Trials Lead Optimization HIT Validation Lead Identification Mofezolac (DisopainTM) Design & Synthesis of NSAID 4 Year Program Collaboration with Taiho Pharmaceuticals Marketed by Mitsubishi Pharmaceuticals

  7. NAEJA Track Record Past 5 Years* Large Pharma Biotech New market 2008 Longest collaboration 12 years Longest contract 4 years Multiple projects & clients Proven IP security *(% revenue)

  8. Single Client – Multiple ProgramsAnti-infectives & inflammation Lead Optimization Hit Generation and Validation Hit to Lead Candidate CLIENT NAEJA Phase 2 Phase 2b { On hold: biological liability One program Phase 1: 2009 Candidate selection: 2009 Lead declaration

  9. CASE STUDY Anti-infective Program = NAEJA = CLIENT Project starts: Q1 Hit structure: narrow activity spectrum Racemic Limited SAR Undeveloped chemistry: unusual scaffold No crystal structure Q1: Validated thigh model Q3: Pre-candidate #1 put on hold: biological liability Q1: ½ Kg pre-candidate synthesized Q1: Chemistry development, SAR, MIC panel Q1: Process development Q4: Racemic lead #1 declared Candidate declaration >98% purity >98% eefffff Q3: Molecular modeling & SBDD Q2: chiral HPLC Q1: ADME Q3: Crystal structure Q1: Racemic lead #2 declared 2007 2008 2009

  10. Successful Recent Programs Lead Optimization Hit Generation and Validation Hit to Lead Candidate NAEJA Phase 1b/2: Cardiovascular disease Clinical trials: Pain management Clinical trials: anti-bacterial Clinical trials: anti-fungal Alzheimer's program Anti-viral program
