About Intellect Neurosciences, Inc.
Intellect Neurosciences, Inc. develops innovative approaches aimed at arresting or preventing Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases especially focused on proteinopathies. Intellect's pipeline includes therapeutic vaccines, antibodies and neuroprotective antibody drug conjugates.

The company is currently developing products based on three platform technologies: ANTISENILIN® is Intellect's Alzheimer's beta amyloid monoclonal antibody platform technology which underlies a product in Phase 3 clinical trials licensed to major pharmaceutical companies. ANTISENILIN also underlies IN-N01, a humanized monoclonal antibody being developed by the company.  RECALL-VAX is a therapeutic vaccine technology that underlies three preclinical drug candidates, RV01, RVO2 which target beta amyloid and delta tau protein, respectively and RVO3 which is a combination of the two.  IN-N01-OX2 is the first candidate to emerge from the company's CONJUMAB-A platform technology, based on a completely novel application of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) in which the antibody is chemically conjugated to a small molecule (OX2) that has potent neuroprotective properties both as an antioxidant and inhibitor of protein aggregation. 

Intellect is seeking to partner/license its platform technologies on a product- by-product basis to develop antibody-drug conjugates and therapeutic vaccines.  RECALL-VAX and CONJUMAB-A have potential applications for treatment of several serious diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Frontotemporal Dementia, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Pick's disease, Cortical Basal Degeneration, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, and Peripheral Amyloidosis.

The company recently licensed OX1 a small molecule multimodal antioxidant to ViroPharma, Inc. for Friedreich's Ataxia and other neurodegenerative diseases. For more information, please visit www.intellectns.com.
