Apollon and Aion Formulations Kill Breast Cancer Cells Through Multiple Pathways Apollon Formularies plc and Aion Therapeutic Inc. announced that joint testing has revealed their combined formulations to be effective in killing HER2+ breast cancer cells grown in 3D cell culture via three separate mechanisms: direct cell cytotoxicity, immune stimulated T-cell cytotoxicity, and macrophage induced phagocytosis. HER2-positive constitutes approximately 20% of all breast cancers. The testing was performed by BIOENSIS, an independent, pre-clinical predictive pharmaceutical testing laboratory. The medical cannabis formulations were developed by Apollon's affiliate, Apollon Formularies Jamaica Limited ("Apollon Jamaica"), and the medicinal mushroom formulations were developed by AI Pharmaceuticals Jamaica Limited ("AI Pharma"), a subsidiary of Aion. The testing results showed that Apollon Jamaica's medical cannabis formulations were particularly effective in killing living HER2+ cancer cells directly (direct cytotoxicity), while Aion's medicinal mushroom formulations were most effective in stimulating the immune system's T-cell production to attack and kill HER2+ cancer cells and through macrophage induced phagocytosis. When the two formulations were combined, nearly 100% of HER2+ breast cancer cells in 3D cell cultures were killed through the three different pathways. The testing occurred as a part of a Joint Testing Agreement between the parties and was authorized in accordance with Apollon Jamaica's Research & Development licence issued by the Jamaican government's Cannabis Licensing Authority (CLA). In the performance of services under the Joint Testing Agreement, each party confined its activities to those permitted by applicable law, with CLA licensed Apollon Jamaica performing medical cannabis activities and AI Pharma performing services involving functional medicinal mushrooms. Mushroom formulations containing psilocybin or psilocin, which comes from psychedelic mushrooms, were not included as a part of the joint testing. AI Pharma currently has an agreement with Apollon Jamaica to license equipment and an agreement with Doc's Place International Inc. to sublease space in order that AI Pharma can perform cultivation, research and development, processing and treatment services in Jamaica with regard to its medicinal mushrooms formulations. The companies next expect to negotiate a joint license agreement involving their formulations and intellectual property whereby AI Pharma may exclusively use Apollon Jamaica's medical cannabis formulations in their combined product lines in the US and Canada, and Apollon may exclusively use certain of Aion's medicinal (non-psilocybin) mushroom products in their combined product lines in Europe and Jamaica, where legal. This structure would allow Apollon to benefit from Aion's sales in the US and Canada, where Apollon Jamaica is unable to sell medical cannabis under current US and UK law. In both instances, medical care will be done by physicians and psychiatrists authorized to prescribe medications and treat patients. Announcement • Mar 12
