Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking
statements as that term is defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements relate to future events or our future
results of operations or future financial
performance, including, but not limited to, the
following statements relating to our ability to
raise sufficient capital to finance our planned
operations, our ability to develop viable drug
product candidates, our ability to obtain
positive non-clinical trial results, successful
clinical trials of our drug product candidates,
our ability to receive necessary marketing
clearance approvals from the FDA, our ability to
successfully commercialize our drug product
candidates, market acceptance of our drug product
candidates and our ability to successfully
compete in the marketplace. In some cases, you
can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as may, should, intends,
expects, plans, anticipates, believes,
estimates, predicts, potential, or
continue or the negative of these terms or
other comparable terminology. These statements
are only predictions and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors,
including the risks that can be found in the
section entitled Risk Factors on page 8 of our
Form SB-2, filed on June 21, 2006 with the SEC
and Factors That May Affect Future Results on
page 12 of our Form 10-KSB filed on November 21,
2006 with the SEC (ticker RPTP Yahoo Finance
RPTP.OB), which may cause our or our industrys
actual results, levels of activity or performance
to be materially different from any future
results, levels of activity or performance
expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity or
performance. You should not place undue reliance
on these statements, which speak only as of the
date that they were made. These cautionary
statements should be considered with any written
or oral forward-looking statements that we may
issue in the future. Except as required by
applicable law, including the securities laws of
the United States, we do not intend to update any
of the forward-looking statements to conform
these statements to reflect actual results, later
events or circumstances or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

  • Summary

6
CNS Therapeutic Markets are Huge
  • 13.3-16.1 million individuals in the US are
    afflicted with CNS disorders 1.2 million more
    diagnosed in US each year
  • Alzheimers Disease, Parkinsons Disease,
    Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral
    Sclerosis (ALS) markets collectively estimated at
    30-50B WW, growing at 14 annually
  • Medical Community is unprepared for the growing
    wave of unmet medical need and social costs
    associated with these diseases second
    therapeutic wave for baby boomers

7
CNS Therapeutic Markets are Large and Growing
  • CNS disorders currently cost the US economy over
    600 billion dollars annually in supportive care.
  • Any effective treatment or cure that can reduce
    the rapidly growing financial burden of
    neurodegenerative disorders and assist the
    elderly in maintaining independent living
    arrangements will be a major revenue producer for
    its developers and distributors.
    AdvanceTechnology Monitors Novel Approaches to
    Neurodegenerative Disorders.

8
Many CNS Therapies are Stalled in
ClinicalDevelopment
  • The clinical failure of many potential CNS
    therapeutics is not due to a lack of drug
    potency, but rather to lack of an effective CNS
    delivery system.

"There was a great deal of hope for GDNF and
there still is a great deal of interest in
finding different ways to provide it to the
brain. Dr. Anthony Lang, Director of the
Movement Disorders Center at Toronto Western
Hospital in Canada.
By 2007, drug delivery will account for 39 of
all pharmaceutical sales John Waslif, analyst
with UK research firm, Visiongain

Science Vision
  • To employ the tissue targeting potential of a
    class of receptor chaperone proteins, represented
    by Receptor-Associated Protein, RAP as
  • NeuroTransTM - Targeted delivery of
    therapeutics to the brain and other tissues
  • AmpTideTM and HepTideTM -First in class
    targeted cancer therapeutics

10
Receptor-Associated Protein (RAP)
  • 37kDa human protein
  • RAP has a normal function in receptor
    biosynthesis for lipoprotein receptor synthesis
  • Binds to lipoprotein receptors on cell surfaces
  • Lipoprotein receptors are the therapeutic targets
    for RAP

11
RAP Receptors are Found in Most Tissues
  • Examples of lipoprotein
  • receptors in contact
  • with blood

LRP 1 LRP2, Megalin VLDLR LRP5/6

  • Lipophilic agents, nanoparticle technology,
    glycomimics, phospholipid microparticles - small
    synthetic molecules
