Post-meal Glucose in Diabetes

•A growing body of evidence suggests that reducing post-meal plasma glucose excursions is as important, or perhaps more important for achieving HbA1c goals.

•The relationship between hyperglycemia and cardiovascular disease is complex with evidence suggesting that an acute increase of glycemia, particularly after a meal, may have a direct detrimental effect on cardiovascular disease.

•Targeting both post-meal plasma glucose and fasting plasma glucose is an important strategy for achieving optimal glycemic control

International Diabetes Federation

2011 Guideline for Management of Post-Meal Glucose in Diabetes

BTI-320Non-systemic Approach to Blood Sugar Management

15OTCQB:BTHE

BTI-320 (formerly PAZ320)

• Reduces post-meal plasma glucose excursions in clinical studies

• Complex carbohydrate chemical structure

• Chewable drug taken before meals intended for improved glycemic control in Type 2 diabetes

• Novel, non-systemic approach to blood sugar management

• Strong safety profile– No serious adverse events (SAE)

• Expected to be an adjunct therapy to widely prescribed Metformin

Typical mechanisms involve interaction with liver, kidney,

pancreas and cells

IPOXYNIntravenous Anti-Necrosis Drug Candidate

21OTCQB:BTHE

IPOXYN

• Carbohydrate-based intravenous solution that may potentially prevent necrosis, or cell death

• Treats ischemia, or lack of oxygen supply to living cells

• New chemical entity, not a biologic agent therefore strong regulatory position compared to biologic competitors

• Prevent amputation associated with lower limb ischemia or diabetic foot

• Contains oxygen rechargeable iron which

picks up oxygen in the lungs

• 5,000 times smaller than red blood cell (RBC)

• Requires no blood type matching IPOXYN

RBC

Necrosis: localized death of living tissue.

Ischemia: deficient supply of blood to a body part, leading to necrosis

22OTCQB:BTHE

IPOXYN: Market Opportunity

Facts and Figures

Global Addressable Market: $30 billion*

Indications in which necrosis occurs:

• Stroke is a leading cause of death in the US

• Over 800,000 people die in the US each year from cardiovascular disease and strokes

Competitive Advantage

• No current drug available to treat or prevent necrosis

• Ischemia currently treated by high pressure (hyperbaric) chamber

• All oxygen therapeutic drugs have failed in FDA trials

• IPOXYN is stable and does not scavenge Nitric Oxide

• Stable at room temperature

• Stroke

• Heart Disease

• Trauma

• Anemia

• Kidney Failure

• Diabetic Foot

• Surgery
