Nano Delivery of Cancer Therapeutics & siRNA A smart delivery system – small, safe, simple, and versatile.  Improved Efficacy  Lower Dosing  Fewer Side Effects

The Opportunity Employ NanoJackets to create more effective cancer and potentially gene therapeutics at lower dosing with fewer side-effects 2

NanoJackets Are Distinct Small & do not agglomerate (20 – 50nm) Protect Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Calcium Phosphate based Increased time in circulation Dissolve in the cell Scalable and low-cost manufacturing 3

NanoJacket Structure Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Calcium Phosphate NanoJacket Surface Treatment (Carboxylic Acid, Amine, or PEG) 4

Keystone Nano Overview Licensed and internally developed IP In-Vivo Data and Characterization of nanoparticles Focused and expedited path to Market Effective Partnerships with Nalco driving toward product revenues Ability to “package” compounds and siRNA in nano scale Calcium Phosphate 5

Keystone Nano Summary

NanoJackets are Molecular Smart Bombs; Encapsulated components are released as a function of pH NanoJackets NJs 7

1.This is the 1 st trial of NanoJacketed Doxorubicin in a Doxorubicin Resistant breast cancer model and dose level or schedule has not yet been optimized. 2.NanoJacketed Doxorubicin is at 10% of concentration of free doxorubicin. 3.Dosing was 3 times weekly, which has not been optimized. 8 Doxorubicin NanoJackets Treating Dox Resistant Cancer

505 (b) (2) Shorter, less expensive regulatory path Testing CHANGE from approved therapeutic, no need to repeat Phase 1, 2, 3 trials More than 100 therapeutics approved Often used for alternative delivery systems Examples – Abraxane, Doxil, ANX

siRNA is Captured and Protected by NanoJackets 18 Free siRNA Boundsi RNA No Ca Ca binding siRNA control RNA-NJs RNA-NJs + EDTA

NanoJacket payloads are delivered intracellularly 5 Cy3-NanoJackets Free cy3 + cytochalasin D Cy3 is a fluorescent, organic molecule which has been encapsulated in NanoJackets Similar staining pattern in endothelial cells treated with free Cy3 and Cy3-NJs suggests NJs have dissolved Punctuate staining seen when Cy3-NJs are treated with cytochalasin D suggests that late endocytosis is involved in NJ dissolution

Competitive Approaches 20 Company (Product)TechnologyKey Difference J & J (Doxil)LiposomeNJ likely to provide improved delivery and fewer lipid associated side effects Abraxis Oncology (Abraxane) Albumin Coupled TaxolNJ should not cause pains in joints and muscles pSividiaSilicaNJs are soluble and less toxic Tempo Pharmaceuticals Combined Delivery of APIsNJ are simpler to produce and validate with clinical trials Insert TherapeuticsPolymeric particlesNJ offer pH dependent dissolution and have better biological compatibility Bind BiosciencesPolymeric particlesNJ pH dependent dissolution and have better biological compatibility

NanoJackets (NJs) 40 nm, non-toxic, stable, calcium phosphate Targetable, pH dependent dissolution Provides intracellular release of drugs Lessens systemic exposure and toxicity Shown to allow use of potent/insoluble drugs Simple surface chemistry for targeting moieties 21

Additional animal experiments are planned TargetingWe have early supporting evidence supporting longer circulatory residence time and Enhanced Permeability and Retention effects. Targeting MoietiesKN views additional targeting moieties on the surface as being opportunities for 2 nd generation nanoparticles rather than 1 st generation. Keystone Nano Summary

Summary of NanoJacket Experimentation Lack of calcium-induced toxicology for amine functionalized NanoJackets in vitro (normal calcium currents in imaged neural stellate ganglia) as well as in vivo (ApoE knock out model of atherosclerosis); In-vitro efficacy against drug sensitive and drug resistant breast cancer cells with Ceramide NanoJackets; In-vitro efficacy against melanoma cells with Ceramide NanoJackets; In-vivo (mice) biodistribution data shows effect of surface functionalization In-vivo (mice) safety / efficacy for delivery of NanoJacketed Doxorubicin 24

NanoJackets are non-toxic In-Vivo 1.NanoJackets do not affect weight gain of ApoE knockout mice, a model of atherosclerosis 1.Dose of NanoJackets three times per week 25

NanoJacketed Ceramide (as API) kills drug sensitive and drug resistant breast cancer cells 1.At 1/5 of the dosing NanoJackets are approximately 7 times as effective 2.NanoJackets are effective against drug resistant cells (Panel B) 26

Untreated Melanoma Cells Melanoma Imaged with NanoJackets NanoJacketed Ceramide Eliminates Melanoma Cells Ceramide NanoJackets Image & Treat Melanoma Cells Panel 1 – DAPI Stained Melanoma Cells Panel 2 – Demonstrating NanoJackets Image (Target) Melanoma Cells Panel 3 – When treated with NanoJacketed Ceramide the cells quickly die 27

Ceramide NanoJackets reduce melanoma growth In Vivo without toxicology 1.Mice treated with NanoJackets were not harmed. 2.Mice treated had a 40% smaller tumor at the conclusion of the study with suboptimal dose of Ceramide 28
