Origenis developed an integrated, largely automated and self-learning technology platform ranging from identification and analysis of innovative targets, design of lead structures/lead structure classes, their pharmacokinetic and metabolic optimization, to patentability searches. A special component of our technology suite and expertise is the ability to specifically design molecules crossing of the blood-brain barrier. After spinning out our LRRK2 inhibitor program in Neuron23, a California-based company, supported by blue chip investors like SoftBank, Westlake, Kleiner Perkins, Perceptive, Cowen Healthcare Investments, Redmile Group, HBM and Surveyor Capital, we focussed on our internal pipeline:

• Our most advanced program – inhibition of CDK9 – is in IND enabling toxicology studies. CDK9 has garnered high interest as one of the central switches in tumor development and progression. Origenis is the only player with a CDK9 program being highly potent, extremely selective and with the ability to efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier, thereby providing inroads also for forms of cancer and viral infections in the brain.

• In our pipeline we are working on selective inhibitors of CDK2, CDK16, CDK3, CDK17 and CDK5. Further CDK´s like CDK13, CDK14, CDK4, CDK6 and CDK8 are under consideration. Furthermore we are progressing a NIK inhibitor program, providing - among other indications - a promising approach to target cholangiocarcinoma and certain inflammatory diseases. We pursue a spin off strategy, where assets are transferred in own legal entities, which get staffed and funded separately.

IntoCell is a Korea-based biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of novel antibody drug conjugate platform technologies. The company has developed a state-of-the-art linker technology comprising of a novel self-immolative group based on Ortho-Hydroxy Protected Aryl Sulfate (OHPAS) chemistry that works with a wide variety of phenolic and non-phenolic payloads. The OPHAS linker was designed to accommodate a wide variety of functional groups and triggering groups. The OHPAS Linker can be triggered by methods that include enzymes (i.e. lysosomal), light, and pH. The resulting ADCs have been shown to be highly stable and have very fast payload release profiles. IntoCell has devised another ADC platform technology called Payload Modified Technology (PMT) in which temporary Modifying Group (MG) has been incorporated into traditional payloads. PMT has shown to improve therapeutic index of ADCs with significant reduction of normal cell’s uptake, resulting in normal cells being minimally affected. By utilizing PMT and OHPAS linker technology, IntoCell has successfully delivered a preclinical candidate in the B7-H3 ADC program. ITC-6146RO, the lead candidate, shows efficacy in various PDX models and has validated stability in mice, rats and NHPs. The IND Submission is planned for 1Q in 2025. Our have also led to the expansion of the OHPAS linker to Topo 1 inhibitors (Camptothecins), notably Nexatecan. Our Her2 ADC, employing Nexatecan, has demonstrated a broader therapeutic index compared to Enhertu in non-GLP cyno toxicity studies. Nexatecan has consistently outperformed Deruxtecan in vivo, across various comparative studies involving Her2, Trop2, and Her3 targets. We are actively pursuing partners worldwide for the development and commercialization of B7-H3 ADC. Additionally, we welcome opportunities for research and development collaborations with parties keen on exploring our proprietary ADC technologies.
