www. hoththerapeutics . c o m 9 ▪ Staph aureus makes up 20% of the bacteria on skin and 40% on lesions ▪ Exposure to water or salt and slight perspiration prompts biofilm formation and clogs the sweat ducts which triggers an immune response ▪ Immune response combined with gene deficiency results in itching and rash ▪ In a study conducted by Dr. Herbert Allen of Drexel University, skin swabs, scrapings, and biopsies from AD patients’ inflamed skin were compared to control samples where skin was unaffected: ▪ All samples taken from skin affected by AD had multi - drug resistant Staph (aureus and epidermidis) and ALL were positive for biofilm formation Staph aureus: B acteria in the skin and the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections, such as abscesses, boils, furuncles, and cellulitis (red, swollen, painful, warm skin) . S . aureus germs can also cause more serious infections, such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, endocarditis (infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and heart valves), and bone and joint infections . The Problem: Staph Aureus: Leading Cause of Skin Infections

 

 

www. hoththerapeutics . c o m 10 Our Solution: BioLexa Inhibits the Formation of Biofilms BioLexa Plaform - N ovel mixture of two compounds targeting Atopic Dermatitis (AD) or eczema - First compound breaks down the biofilm protecting the infection (staphylococcus aureus or s . aureus), allowing the second, an antibiotic, to more effectively treat the underlying infection . ▪ Biofilms are matrices produced by bacterial colonies that shield the colony from attack by the immune system and make the bacteria up to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics ▪ CDC data indicate that biofilms are implicated in over 2/3 of all skin infections ▪ Bacteria rely on Zn +2 ions to build biofilms to protect colonies ▪ BioLexa platform technology combines a chelating agent with an antibiotic to form a synergistic compound for inhibiting biofilm formation and fighting bacterial infection ▪ BioLexa works by using DTPA to chelate the Zn +2 ions necessary to form biofilms while using gentamicin, a potent antibiotic, to fight existing bacteria Source: Image Biofilms in Infections, Dr. TV RAO, MD https://slideshare.net/doctorrao/biofilms - 2172226

www. hoththerapeutics . c o m 21 Novel Peptide COVID - 19 Therapeutic* Market Opportunity • SARS - CoV - 2 or COVID - 19 attaches to and enters cells through the binding of its perfusion Spike Protein to the cell surface receptor Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) • Because of the wide - spread dispersion of ACE2 within the body, there are numerous opportunities for SARS - CoV - 2 to infiltrate the body. Solution • Computer modeling of SARS - CoV - 2's spike protein is an important step in finding ways to prevent the virus from binding to ACE2 receptors and allowing the virus to replicate. • .This therapeutic development effort exploits the binding of the SARS - Cov - 2 spike protein to ACE2 to develop effective peptide ‘decoys’ that have the potential to preferentially bind to the spike protein and prevent fusion and infection Research • The research is being led by inventor Michael H. Peters, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Chemical and Life Science Engineering at VCU, College of Engineering, and is being aided, in part, by powerful supercomputers as part of the COVID - 19 High Performance Computing Consortium Expecting preliminary results by Q3 2020 *https://ir.hoththerapeutics.com/news - releases/
