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 industry’s 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
CNS Therapeutic Markets are Huge
6

13.3-16.1 million individuals in the US are afflicted with
CNS disorders; 1.2 million more diagnosed in US each year

Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s 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
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.

Many CNS Therapies are Stalled in Clinical
Development
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
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

Cancer Therapies
AmpTideTM and HepTideTM
“First-in-Class” Targeted Therapeutics for
Cancer Treatment
23
AmpTideTM Targets a Cell Surface
Cancer Tumor Protein
Matriptase is a protein-cleaving enzyme … that can trigger
formation of tumor cells.
Matriptase is also the first known cell surface enzyme that
acts as an oncogene – a protein that alone prompts
uncontrolled cell division in tumors
