Strong scientific rationale for LSD1/HDAC6 inhibition inacute myeloid leukemia (AML) and select solid tumors
NON-CONFIDENTIAL 6
Scientific Rationale• LSD1 is essential for
cancer stem cell survival and
maintenance of AML blasts
Both LSD1 and HDAC6 lead to
immune suppression through distinct
mechanisms
• Both targets are over-expressed in
AML and multiple other cancers
• LSD1 and HDAC6 are part of
co-repressor complexes leading to
modulation of cancer-specific genes
Clinical Rationale• Current SoCs for AML have a low
response rate, limited single agent
activity and dose-limiting toxicities
• Novel therapies targeting multiple
pathways are beneficial
• LSD1 inhibitors alone has shown
limited single agent activity
• Selective inhibition of HDAC6 may
reduce the toxicity associated with
pan-HDAC inhibitors
Opportunity• Faster clearance, sustained target
engagement in malignant cells;
minimized systemic tox
• Patient stratification based on MLL
rearranged tumors, MDS and
erythroleukemia
• Synergy or overcome resistance
when combined with chemo/SoC
• Combine with checkpoint inhibitor
for solid tumors (sarcomas and
lymphomas)
Lead Indications of AML Sub-populations (MLL, Erythroleukemia)
and select solid tumors with specific gene signatures
LSD1/ HDAC6
Lead Indication-AML
Other Indications:
MDS, Lymphoma
SCLC, TNBC
Combination with
checkpoint inhibitors
JBI-802 - Novel mechanism of dual LSD1/HDAC6 inhibition to enter Phase 1 in 2H 2021• JBI-802 is orally available with novel dual mechanism of action of
Isoform selective HDAC6 inhibition and potent LSD1 inhibition
• Robust biomarker modulation of LSD1 (CD11b and CD86) and HDAC6 (tubulin acetylation) observed both in vitro and in vivo
• Superior in vivo efficacy as compared to LSD1 and HDAC6 inhibitors that are in clinic
• Efficacy demonstrated in multiple xenograft model
• Stronger efficacy in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors
• No major adverse effects observed in the 14-day non-GLP repeat dose toxicity in mice
• Non-GMP material synthesized 1Kg ready for GLP tox
• PCT patent filed in major territories and expires in 2036
• IND enabling studies ongoing in the US; Filing 2H 2021

Scientific and clinical rationale for PAD4 inhibitors in autoimmune disorders
NON-CONFIDENTIAL 10
Scientific Rationale• Next generation target in
autoimmune/inflammation beyond JAKs
and TNFs
• High anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated
peptide) levels are detected in RA patients
• Histone citrullination and associated NET
formation linked to pro-inflammation and
disease progression in several
autoimmune disorders including RA,
psoriasis, thrombosis, fibrosis, SLE etc.
• KO studies clearly prove the role of PAD4
in RA, SLE, DVT etc.
Clinical Rationale• Targeting PAD4 does not lead to
immune suppression nor risk of
thrombocytopenia and may offer
better therapeutic margin and safety
• Antibodies produced
against citrullinated proteins (anti-
CCP) are diagnostic, prognostic and
stratification markers of RA
• Potential to target inflammation
driven diseases
Opportunity• Differentiated first-in-class
mechanism to treat autoimmune
diseases
• Small molecule option for anti-TNF-
non-responders
• Broader application in various auto-
immune disorders such as lung
fibrosis (including Covid-19
ARDS), psoriasis, SLE, DVT
• Potential utility in niche indications
Lead Indications of RA and select orphan inflammatory
disease(s) for rapid PoC

JBI-1044
Scientific and clinical rationale for novel small molecule PRMT5 inhibitor
NON-CONFIDENTIAL 14
Scientific Rationale• Glioblastoma (GBM) is selectively
sensitive to inhibition of PRMT5 and has
been identified as a predictive biomarker
• PRMT5 inhibition disrupts the removal of
detained introns leading to modulation of
proliferation
• Represses expression of
several tumor suppressor genes, leading
to cancer progression
Clinical Rationale• Limited or no agents to treat GBM
• Poor response rate with SoC
• Potential for high ClNS1A/RIOK1
ratio to identify sensitive patients
• Brain penetrant
Opportunity• Mechanism is validated with a few
PRMT5 inhibitors in early clinical
trials
• Among few brain-penetrant PRMT5
inhibitors to address the
unmet medical need in
treating GBM
• Potential use in other cancers
where PRMT5 is over expressed
(Lymphoma)
Lead Indications of GBM and Lymphoma to address
high unmet need

JBI-778
Orthotopic Glioblastoma: Survival Data
Target Engagement in Brain
• Orally available novel small molecule inhibitor differentiated by:
- Binding to substrate/activating site as against SAM site
- Better brain exposure and target engagement in brain
• Inhibits the symmetrical dimethylation of Arginine
• Selective to PRMT5 in the arginine methyl transferase panel
• Superior efficacy has been demonstrated in xenograft model by oral route compared to the reference compound
• Efficacy has been demonstrated in the orthotopic GBM model by oral route
• Patent expires in 2038 and filed in all the major countries
Scientific and clinical rationale for novel small molecule PDL1 inhibitor
NON-CONFIDENTIAL 16
Scientific Rationale• PD1/PD-L1 pathway is a critical
component of T-cell immune checkpoint
• In the tumor microenvironment, PD-1 and
PD-L1 perform a vital role in tumor
progression
and survival by escaping tumor immune
surveillance
• Targeting PD-1 and PD-L1 simultaneously
could reactivate cytotoxic T cells to work
against cancer cells
Clinical Rationale• Anti-PD1/PD-L1 mAbs increase
overall survival compared to standard
of care in different tumors
• Since mAbs can activate a broad
range of immune cells, they can
trigger severe auto-immune reactions
• Potential to overcome immune
related adverse effects with a small
molecule
• Low patient compliance and high
cost of mAb therapies are potential
issues with SoC
Opportunity• Potential use after initial mAb
treatment as a lower-cost
maintenance therapy
• I/O combination in non-oncology
indications where small molecule
PD-1 oral modality is preferred
over IV mAbs
Oral alternative to mAbs for increased compliance and
long-term use in maintenance settings
PDL1
Small molecule PD-L1 inhibitor – Key Features
• Orally available novel, small molecule inhibitor
• Binds to PD-L1 protein and prevents interaction with PD-1
• Comparable tumor reduction to mAb in the humanized murine model
• Selectivity and Off target: Highly selective for PD-L1; Clean in Cerep 44 toxicity Panel; Negative in AMES test and no hERG or CYP liability
• MTD is >500 mg/kg in mice
• Well tolerated in the 14-day repeat dose toxicity study in mice at the highest dose
• Patent expires in 2038 and filed in all major countries
