• 100+ rare cannabinoids occur in extremely low amounts in the cannabis plant

• Cost of extracting sufficient quantities ofthese cannabinoids can be prohibitive

• Challenge is how to manufacture sufficient quantity & purity to test and commercialize, rare cannabinoid-based therapies

Cannabinoid Manufacturing Alternatives

Extraction from Plants Chemical SynthesisBiosynthesis• Plant – Grow – Harvest – Extract

– Purify process is resource intensive, large carbon footprint, QA/QC issues

• Expensive, takes months for a single production batch

• Pesticide removal is challenging, may result in import/export restrictions

• Access to rare cannabinoidsprohibitively expensive

• Expensive for some, timeconsuming (weeks) for all

• Excessive chemical waste

• Problem of isomers (structural integrity) for some CBs that may affect efficacy/safety; risk that synthesized product may not be identical to the natural compounds

• Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to be very fragile and to blister/rupture easily in response to minor injury or friction, such as rubbing orscratching

• The most common form is EB Simplex (EBS),approximately 55% of all EB patients

• No approved treatments specific to EB; treatment involves many products

• INM-755 being investigated for both symptomatic relief and re-establishing skin integrityPhotograph of Dystrophic EB

INM-755: 30+ Pharmacology, Toxicology & Safety Studies

● CBN-mediated reduction of key inflammatory markers (IL-8 & MMP-9)suggests INM-755 may:o Reduce incidence and/or severity of blistering if applied to intact skino Improve healing when applied directly to chronic wound

● INM-755 upregulation of Keratin 15 may offset Keratin 14 dysfunction in EBS, leading to increased skin integrity/strength and fewer blisters

13

● INM-755 API (CBN) demonstrated safety:o 20+ toxicology and safety studies: no safety concerns

● INM-755 highly unlikely to produce psychoactivity or other CNS toxicity:o no adverse effects on CNS, even at 10,000 times expected systemic exposure after topical dosing

● Cream formulation without CBN:o well tolerated on intact skin and small open wounds in humans

INM-088: Potential for CBN in Glaucoma

Target Effects of CBN

• Provide direct neuroprotection for the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and other optic nerve tissues

• Reduce the IOP in the affected eyes

• Build up of fluid causes intra-ocular pressure (IOP) to increase
