GPR84: broad therapeutic area potential, with multi-tissue involvement GPR84 is a pro-inflammatory G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mainly expressed in neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages and other innate immune cells in the peripheral system, and microglial cells in the nervous central system. GPR84 expression has also been reported in multiple organ systems, such as bone marrow, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, lung, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. GPR84 expression is highly upregulated following acute inflammatory stimuli (such as lipopolysaccharide and TNFα) and in inflammatory diseases, suggesting potential therapeutic opportunities in targeting GPR84 in inflammatory, fibrotic, and metabolic diseases.

GPR84: A PIVOTAL ROLE IN INFLAMMATION AND FIBROSIS Primarily expressed in immune cells, such as neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages Abundant in multiple organ systems: heart, lung, kidney, liver, GI tract, CNS and bone marrow.1 WHAT IS THE GPR84 RECEPTOR? GPR84 antagonism is anticipated to address: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/ NASH Liver Fibrosis Metabolic diseases (diabetes, glucose intolerance) Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis POTENTIAL INDICATIONS The GPR84 receptor plays a role in controlling the inflammatory response as evidenced by its primary expression in innate immune cells.2 Expression levels of GPR84 increase significantly under inflammatory conditions.2 Independent research suggests that GPR84 receptor plays a role in the linkage and regulation of the inflammatory and metabolic responses.3 WHY ARE IMMUNE CELLS IMPORTANT?

Slide 11

LMNL6511: Candidate Selection & Development Rationale Liminal’s potent and selective GPR84 antagonist has IP and patent filings for the treatment of inflammatory/fibrotic/metabolic diseases, including NAFLD/NASH and IBD/UC. > 1700 compounds synthesized & tested;   LMNL6511 was screened for greater potency, in addition to selectivity; optimal PK in Non-Human Primates (NHP) Potency & specificity for a novel target; consistent in vivo safety


Slide 12

PK/potency of GLPG1205 vs potency of LMNL6511 Results from GLPG1205 Phase 1 study (Timmis et al., 2021; adapted from Figure 2) vs in vitro potency IC50 and IC90 were established internally using the human GPR84 trafficking to early endosomes assay Taking into consideration the higher potency observed in preclinical studies and free fraction of LMNL6511, it is expected that a ≈40x lower blood concentration of LMNL6511 would be needed to get a similar effect as GLPG1205 in human


Slide 13

GLPG1205 Reported Clinical Safety and Tolerability Phase 1 study (Clinicaltrials.gov number NCT01887106; Timmis et al., 2021) Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of GLPG1205 (part 1: SAD GLPG1205 10 to 800 mg; part 2: MAD GLPG1205 50, 100, or 200 mg once daily for 14 days). Reduced tolerability was observed in the GLPG1205 200‐mg once‐daily dose cohort, with 3 out of 6 subjects discontinuing study drug due to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) including headache and nausea or vomiting. As a result, the dose was reduced to 150 mg on day 8 for the remainder of the study. The maximum tolerated dose tested was GLPG1205 100 mg once daily. Phase 2 PINTA study (Clinicaltrials.gov number NCT03725852; Strambu et al., 2022) Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept trial. Patients with IPF were randomized 2:1 to once-daily oral GLPG1205 100 mg or placebo for 26 weeks and stratified to receive GLPG1205 alone or with standard of care (nintedanib or pirfenidone). Compared with placebo, treatment with GLPG1205 resulted in higher proportions of serious and severe TEAEs and treatment-emergent discontinuations, most apparent in the nintedanib stratum. These observations suggest that a more potent GPR84 antagonist could help avoid adverse events while maintaining target occupancy.


Slide 14

Results suggests that treatment with a small molecule GPR84 antagonist for 6 weeks could improve liver fibrosis and health in a model of diet-induced liver disease (high fat diet).  Treated mice have shown: reduced ALT concentration in the serum reduced liver hypertrophy reduced steatosis as well as liver fibrosis shown by histological analysis (reduced fibrosis confirmed by hydroxyproline assay in liver biopsies) reduced level of TIMP-1 and CK-18 in the serum, supporting a reduced fibrotic activity Reduced liver expression of many genes related to inflammation and fibrosis We found no impact of the drug candidate on all parameters related to insulin resistance. GPR84 antagonism could thus potentially alleviate NASH/liver disease related to metabolic syndrome.

Slide 15

LMNL6511 was evaluated in the indomethacin-induced inflammatory bowel disease rat model. Results showed a reduction in the number of indomethacin-induced lesions and macroscopic disease grade in rats dosed with LMNL6511. We also showed an improvement in the albuminemia (indicating reduction in gut bleeding) in dosed animals. Our data supports a positive effect of LMNL6511 on indomethacin-induced gut inflammation in this animal model.

LMNL6326 OXER1 Antagonist Program


Slide 19

OXER1 Potential To Treat Eosinophilic-Driven Disease Gastrointestinal Diseases Respiratory Diseases Other Diseases Skin Diseases Eosinophils are involved in acute and chronic inflammation and play an important role in a large number of allergic, inflammatory and proliferative diseases. Both eosinophils and mast cells are involved in the pathology of many of these diseases, including: Respiratory and Inflammatory Disease: Severe eosinophilic asthma Atopic dermatitis COPD Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) Nasal polyposis Chronic spontaneous urticaria Gastrointestinal Disease: Eosinophilic gastritis Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) Eosinophilic gastroenteritis


Slide 20

OXER1 ROLE IN Disease is Driven By Eosinophilic Immune Dysfunction Asthma is a heterogeneous disease; there are multiple clinical sub-types The two primary asthma phenotypes, Type 2 high and Type 2 low, are defined by eosinophilic and neutrophilic pattern of inflammation, respectively The Type 2 high subtype is associated with the cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 Most drugs have focused on Type 2 high asthma, including four of the biologics approved for treatment of uncontrolled asthma target IL-5, IL-5R or IL-4/IL-13 Asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 20192 and caused 455 000 deaths MODERATE AND SEVERE ASTHMA 1.

Slide 22

OXER1 ROLE IN Disease is Driven By Eosinophilic Immune Dysfunction The immune response observed during the course of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is characterized by a biphasic inflammation. A Th2-biased immune response (IL-4, IL-13, TSLP and eosinophils) is predominant in the initial and acute phase of AD, while in chronic AD skin lesions, a Th1/Th0 dominance has been described (IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-5 and GM-CSF) In particular, molecular interactions between VCAM and VLA-4 are important for preferential eosinophil recruitment. Interleukin-5 specifically acts on eosinophils and is involved in recruitment, activation, and life-span regulation of these cells. Eosinophils play an important immunoregulatory role because of the production of cytokines. For example, they generate IL-4 and IL-13, two important regulators of T and B cell functions, respectively. ATOPIC DERMATITIS 1. D. Simon,L. R. Braathen, H.-U. Simon (2004) 2.

Slide 26

OXER1: ROLE IN TISSUE REPAIR AND INFLAMMATION OXER1 is a GPCR receptor which is mainly expressed in inflammatory cells. OXER1 is highly selective for 5-oxo-ETE, one of the most powerful chemo-attractants and activators of eosinophils. WHAT IS THE OXER1 RECEPTOR? Eosinophils are involved in acute and chronic inflammation and play an important role in a large number of allergic, inflammatory and proliferative diseases. WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL INDICATIONS? Eosinophils themselves are key in mounting an appropriate immune response against pathogens. When activated, they release a cocktail of toxic proteins along with cytokines to attract other immune cells all designed to attack and damage the pathogen. However, when eosinophils are chronically activated, these toxic proteins can also damage normal tissue and promote inflammation causing Eosinophilic-driven diseases (EDDs). WHY ARE EOSINOPHILS IMPORTANT?


Slide 27

GPR40 Agonist Program


Slide 28

GPR40: ROLE IN METABOLIC SYNDROME AND GLUCOSE MANAGEMENT GPR40, also known as FFA1 or FFAR1, is a GPCR highly expressed in pancreatic β-cells and responds to medium and long chain unsaturated fatty acids, resulting in increased insulin secretion only in the presence of elevated glucose levels. WHAT IS THE GPR40 RECEPTOR? GPR40 has been proposed as a possible target for pharmacotherapy in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Due to the potential efficacy and safety profile of small molecules compared to existing therapies such as insulin and sulfonylureas, efforts have been focused on developing small molecule GPR40 agonists.  WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL INDICATIONS? GPR40 is also expressed in enteroendocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract, with activation resulting in the secretion of incretin hormones (GLP-1, and GIP) which can indirectly regulate insulin secretion. Due to the effects of hyperglycaemia in various tissues and organs, as well as the involvement of GPR40 in many physio-pathological processes, GPR40 agonists are emerging as possible therapeutic tools for alleviating organ inflammation and fibrosis. ROLE IN GLUCOSE MANAGAMENT?


Slide 29

GPR40/FFAR1 Agonists: An Emerging Class OF COMPOUNDS for T2D GPR40 is a validated target for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Strong clinical evidence that GPR40 agonists can improve glucose control, without the risk of hypoglycemia. Liver toxicity led to the discontinuation of the most advanced clinical-stage product candidate (TAK-875) in 2013. The development of this compound was terminated due to a low frequency of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Numerous programs are underway to optimize drug design Other companies, including Celon Pharma, Ildong, Scohia, Kallyope and Piramal are working on next-generation GPR40 agonists. Our discovery program We believe that small molecule agonists of GPR40 can be designed to minimize the risk of drug-induced liver injury  (DILI). Our GPR40 agonist program is currently in the discovery phase. Our objective for 2023 is to identify potent, low molecular weight GPR40 agonists without significant PPARγ activity.
