Targeting Major UnmetMedical Needs

A first in class, small molecule inhibitor of a key protein (E6AP)Developed to preclinical stage prior to licensing Protected by intellectual property, including composition of matter patent(s)

Therapeutic development based on a key discovery by the founders:The Company is targeting treatments for prostate cancer and HPV-related cancers that will be:

a. b.c.

Risk minimised through:Experienced management team (drug discovery methodology, global innovators of the underlying knowhow)Experienced Board with extensive biotech start-up and development track recordIdentification of key biomarkers and the clinical nexus between E6AP and multiple cancerEstablished contracts with key service providers (SYNthesis Research, Peter Mac).Established collaborations for disease models and clinical consultationCurrently no competing IP

The Target: E6-AssociatedProtein (E6AP)

E6AP is critical for high-risk HPV-related and prostate cancers

E6AP ordinarily regulates the expression of  three key tumour

suppressors in the body - p53, PML and p27.

In cancers E6AP is ‘over activated’ causing the destruction of

tumour suppressors.

VITTAIL’s therapeutic approach is to inhibit E6AP to restore the

body’s tumour suppressive capacity.

E6AP promotes cancer by degrading the patient’s tumoursuppressing protein (PML) in prostate cancer

Targeting E6AP inhibits prostate cancerprolonging the life of experimental mice.

The growth of human prostate cancer is significantly inhibited by depletingE6AP in experimental models. Depletion of E6AP restores the body’s anti-canceractivities.
