Uniqueness:Targeting cell polarity.

We seek funds to:• Complete final animal tests.• Formulate.• Clinical trials completing efficacy

studies.

Complete financing need 2.5 M€.

How? Affordable development in a high cost space.• Established ingredients.• Accelerated clinical tests in

established high need patient populations.

• Global selection of high need geographies.

Global market size• Specialist products for high need

populations: 100M US$.• OTC products: 10B US$.

IP• Secondary medical indication1.• Formulation.• Other e.g. packaging.
