Classic narcolepsy is associated with very low or undetectable levels of the hormone, orexin, in the brain.* Narcolepsy treatments generated revenues of $3.9 billion in 2021, and are projected to reach $6.6 billion by 2025, a CAGR of 11.2%.** Significant valuations are being assigned to public companies with narcolepsy treatments. No commercially available products address the orexin deficit; most patients remain unsatisfied with their treatment.*** Narcolepsy: Debilitating Disorder; Large and Underserved Market * www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / pmc /articles/PMC6492289/ ** ResearchAndMarkets.com press release (January 19, 2022) . ***2018.

□ - Long history of active ingredient (mazindol) used to treat narcolepsy off - label (“Compassionate Use” Programs) □ Novel mechanism of action with partial Orexin - 2 receptor activation □ Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) granted in the U.S. and Europe □ Phase 2a trial ongoing, very encouraging interim results, final results expected Q3 2022 □ Potential expedited development: intent to leverage U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 505(b)(2) and/or accelerated approval pathways (Breakthrough, FastTrack, PRIME) 8

 

 

Mazindol: Unique Dual Mechanism of Action (MOA) Quilience ® (mazindol ER) OX 2 R Downstream wake - promoting neurotransmitters Postsynaptic Neuron Confirmed robust binding to dopamine and norepinephrine transporters Enhances dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmission Improves “top down” regulation of executive function and inhibitory control Actions of dual MOA Robust binding to serotonin transporter , i.e., triple reuptake inhibitor (serotonin – norepinephrine - dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SNDRI)) ⌾ Improved dopamine – serotonin balance ⌾ Enhanced effects on hyperactivity and inhibitory control Orexin - 2 partial agonist ⌾ Improved “bottom up” regulation of arousal, alertness, energy metabolism and reward mechanism Quilience ® may help to promote wakefulness and decrease cataplexy attacks by restoring the downstream activity at the OX 2 R and by stabilizing the cellular response through direct reuptake inhibition at the NET, DAT and SERT Postsynaptic Neuron NE Receptor DAT Receptor 5HT Receptor Orexin - 2 receptor partial agonist and triple reuptake inhibitor 9

 

 

Study* funded by the French Health Ministry concluded: “Mazindol has a major effect on sleepiness, possibly greater than that of modafinil (Provigil)” - Efficacy and sustained benefits - Safety profile with long - term chronic use in adults and children Study Conclusion: “Mazindol has a long - term, favorable benefit/risk ratio in 60% of drug - resistant hypersomniacs , including a clear benefit on cataplexy.” Retrospective Benefit/Risk Ratio: Mazindol in Patients with Drug Resistant Narcolepsy * The ESS is a validated patient - reported measure of the patients’ recent likelihood of falling asleep in everyday activities and is the same primary outcome measure widely used in other narcolepsy - related Phase 3 clinical trials 1 Epworth Sleepiness Scale * N = 139 Source: Nittur et.al, Sleep Med. 2013 Jan;14(1):30 - 6 10 * Nittur et.al, Sleep Med. 2013 Jan;14(1):30 - 6
