COMPANY PROFILE<br />

Corporate overview<br />

Polyphor is a Swiss research-driven pharmaceutical company developing innovative products with high<br />

therapeutic benefit to the patient and providing high quality support to its industry partners engaged in drug<br />

discovery.<br />

Polyphor has established two complementary innovative, proprietary technology platforms with the aim to<br />

discover and develop new medicines for unmet medical needs.<br />

Polyphor’s MacroFinder® and PEMfinder® platforms were specifically developed for discovering potent and<br />

selective modulators of Protein-Protein Interactions and other challenging targets.<br />

Products: Broadly diversified clinical and pre-clinical development portfolio<br />

• POL6326 (CXCR4 antagonist)<br />

• POL7080 (Pseudomonas-selective antibiotic, novel mode of action)<br />

• POL6014 (elastase inhibitor)<br />

• GPCR platform (e.g. CXCR7, CCR10)<br />

• Protease platform<br />

Platforms: Two proprietary technology platforms<br />

• PEMfinder®<br />

• MacroFinder®<br />

Partnering: R&D collaborations with Pharma partners<br />

• Boehringer Ingelheim<br />

• Novartis<br />

Clinical Development Pipeline:<br />

Polyphor’s competitive edge is based on its technology platforms which sustain a diversified portfolio of clinical<br />

candidates in various therapeutic areas.<br />

POL6326 (Phase II) – a CXCR4 antagonist that mobilizes stem cells from the bone marrow to the circulating<br />

blood. This effect can be exploited in several ways:<br />

• Stem cell transplantation (autologous and allogeneic).<br />

• Tissue repair.<br />

• Chemosensitization (CXCR4 antagonist to enhance impact of established anti-cancer therapies).<br />

POL7080 (Phase II ready) – highly potent Pseudomonas-selective antibiotic with novel mode of action.<br />

Successfully completed Phase I clinical trial. POL7080 has been shown to be highly efficacious against a broad<br />

panel of clinical isolates, including MDR Pseudomonas strains:<br />

• Phase II clinical trial planned to start in Q1, 2013.<br />
