Pipeline * For Parkinson’s disease, we may be required to file an investigational new drug application, or IND, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, prior to initiating Phase 2 clinical trials ** For neurodegenerative diseases and diseases associated with TORC1 hyperactivation, subject to review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, we believe we may have the ability to initiate Phase 2 clinical trials without the need to conduct additional Phase 1 trials.

Parkinson’s Disease Image from Wikiwand Prevalence Second most common neurodegenerative disease Affects 1% of population over 55 years of age in the U.S. Pathology Accumulation of Lewy body protein aggregates containing a-synuclein and death of the neurons that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine in the substantia nigra Clinical manifestations Four cardinal motor symptoms: Resting tremor Bradykinesia (slowed movement) Muscle rigidity Postural instability Current therapies treat symptoms of PD but do not alter disease progression Levodopa is used to treat PD; however, its effect tends to wear off over time and can lead to disabling levodopa-induced dyskinesia Parkinson’s Disease Lewy bodies α-synuclein

Parkinson’s Disease: Levodopa-induced dyskinesia Neurodegenerative Diseases

Advantage of PD as a clinical indication for TORC1 inhibitors: levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is a potential clinical endpoint that can be assessed in a shorter time frame than disease progression LID is a disabling side effect of chronic levodopa treatment associated with significantly impaired quality of life and increased health care costs1 Most common dyskinesias: chorea (jerky involuntary movements, especially around the face, shoulders, and hips) dystonia (involuntary muscle contraction leading to twisting, repetitive movements, or abnormal posture in affected muscle or muscle group) Average time to onset of dyskinesia estimated at 6.5 years1 > 90% of PD patients will have LID after 15 years of levodopa therapy3 1 and figure Calabresi et al., 2010; 2 Tran et al., 2018; 3 Ahlskog and Muenter 2001 and Hely et al 2005

Multiple pathways implicated in levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) pathogenesis converge on ERK and downstream TORC1 hyperactivation TSC TORC1 Dyskinesia Adapted from Calabrisi P et al., Lancet Neurol, 2010 Santini et al. Sci Signaling, 2009 Medium Spiny Neuron 4EBP1 S6K

TORC1 is hyperactivated in medium spiny neurons in preclinical PD models of LID and TORC1 inhibition alleviates LID A: Administration of levodopa in a mouse model of PD (unilateral 6-OHDA lesion) led to hyperactivation of TORC1(as assessed by pS6 levels) in medium spiny neurons and development of dyskinesia. B: Rapamycin inhibited TORC1 activation and ameliorates dyskinesia, as assessed by an abnormal involuntary movement score (AIMs), determined by an observer blind to treatment assignment. ooo,*** P<0.001 versus untreated control.
