Challenge "
The Blood Brain Barrier (“BBB”) A protective barrier that separates the brain from the
circulatory system, which blocks harmful chemicals from
entering the brain tissue
Problem
The BBB prevents medicines (anti-cancer drugs, enzymes,
antibodies, gene silencing siRNA, etc.) from entering the
brain at levels effective for treatment, blocking about:
•  98% of small molecule drugs •  100% of large molecule drugs1
Solution
biOasis has discovered a naturally occurring biological
process that can transport drugs across the BBB and into
the brain tissue for the treatment of thousands of CNS
diseases and brain disorders Capillary network of tightly woven endothelial
cells lining the blood vessels in the brain,
regulating transport of essential molecules and
maintaining a stable environment

biOasis Presents: The Transcend Program The Transcend Drug Delivery Platform
Patented carriers that deliver medicines across
the BBB for the treatment of CNS diseases Transcend offers potential treatments for:
"
Brain Cancers &
Tumours
Neurodegenerative
Diseases like
Alzheimer's Disease
Stroke and

Injury

Diseases like

Breakthrough Solution
The Transcend Program Exploits a natural, biological process to deliver medicines into the brain tissue by linking preexisting drugs to a human protein that freely crosses the BBB through receptors located on the
brain capillary wall in a process called Receptor Mediated Transcytosis. MTf (Melanotransferrin)
•  Iron-binding human protein found at low concentrations in
the blood
•  When linked to existing drugs, MTf can deliver effective doses
of medicine into the brain, distributing the medicine with a
wide distribution throughout the brain tissue
MTfp (MTf peptide) •  biOasis has discovered the peptide found within the full-
length protein (MTf) that is responsible for transport of MTf
across the BBB
•  MTfp has shown improved brain penetration and greater
commercial potential over the full-length MTf protein 6"
Advantage of MTfp
! 
Higher commercial value over MTf
! 
More efficient delivery across the BBB
! 
Lower cost of production ! 
Greater consistency in manufacturing ! 
Improved quality control
! 
Simpler to link to medicines !
