Addex Therapeutics is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on

the development and commercialization of an emerging class of novel

orally available small molecule drugs known as allosteric modulators for

neurological disorders. Allosteric modulators offer several potential

advantages over conventional non-allosteric molecules and may offer an

improved therapeutic approach to conventional "orthosteric" small

molecule or biological drugs. Addex's allosteric modulator drug

discovery platform targets receptors and other proteins that are

recognized as essential for therapeutic intervention. Addex's lead drug

candidate, dipraglurant (mGlu5 negative allosteric modulator or NAM), is

scheduled to enter a pivotal registration clinical trial for Parkinson's

disease levodopa induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). In parallel,

dipraglurant's therapeutic use in dystonia is being investigated in

preclinical models. Addex's second clinical program ADX71149 (mGlu2

positive allosteric modulator or PAM), developed in collaboration with

our partner Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., scheduled to enter a Phase 2a

proof of concept clinical study for the treatment of epilepsy. In

addition, Addex's GABA(B) PAM program has been licensed to Indivior PLC

for the treatment of addiction. Preclinical programs include GABA(B)

PAM for CMT1A, mGlu7 NAM for PTSD, mGlu2 NAM for mild neurocognitive

disorders, mGlu4 PAM for Parkinson's disease and mGlu3 PAM for

neurodegenerative disorders.
