Sirona Biochem Corp. (TSX-V: SBM) (FSE: ZSB) (OTC: SRBCF)
(“
Sirona”) is pleased to provide the following
update to shareholders.
Dear shareholders,
We continue to make fundamental progress on core
objectives and will be able to share more in due course.
TFC-1067
A comprehensive update is due in the near
future. We can report there are no adverse events and proper
disclosure rules are being followed. No further information will be
made public at this point
TFC-039 / Animal HealthWe are
pleased to inform our shareholders that Sirona and Wanbang have
signed a binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to collaborate on licencing
efforts for Sirona’s SGLT2 inhibitor, TFC-039, as a treatment for
diabetes in animal health. We have a long-standing relationship
with Wanbang and are excited to combine our two companies’
expertise to license TFC-039 to a global animal healthcare
company.
Previous efforts to license TFC-039 for this
indication were delayed for reasons unrelated to the merit of the
opportunity and interested parties are now able and willing to move
forward. Discussions are rapidly progressing with several global
companies to develop TFC-039 as a treatment for diabetes in
companion animals. SGLT2 inhibitors provide an opportunity to treat
inflicted animals with an oral medication as opposed to the
traditional method of daily insulin injections.
The combined scientific knowledge of Sirona and
Wanbang will significantly increase the speed to commercialization
of TFC-039. This includes extensive data, advanced manufacturing
process development and the ability to commercially manufacture
TFC-039. The new agreement was a desired step on the part of the
interested partners to create the legal framework and to have
certainty regarding production capacities and costs. Now that this
has been finalized , the probability of a successful licensing
agreement in the near future has been made much stronger.
This LOI is a modification of a previous
agreement signed February 8th, 2021 which was mentioned in the CEO
Update of 24 February 2021. The agreement will focus solely on
applying TFC-039 to animal health.
Studies on a new indication for TFC-039 are also
ongoing. Details of the new indication cannot be disclosed, but the
opportunity as a valuable therapeutic exists and is an area of
great need.
Anti-Aging
The lead compound for anti-aging will enter
small scale-up and formulation for use in clinical and stability
studies. We anticipate the clinical trial to take place in the
second half of 2022.
Furthermore, our IP keeps growing – see latest
entry for TFChem in the WIPO database.
Antiviral
As announced on 20 December 2021, we have had 20
antiviral compounds tested by Utah State University's Institute of
Antiviral Research.
The tests proved to be inconclusive. A known
antiviral that was used as a positive control failed to produce
results suggesting the test was not performing for this class of
compounds. We’re now working on how to evaluate the compounds with
a new assay. Accordingly, we are in the process of
identifying other options or providers for testing our compounds
and are currently coordinating how to proceed.
We remain no less confident that our antiviral
compounds will deliver convincing results.
Due to these results, our discussions with
potential partners in both public and private sector are on
hold.
Anti-Cellulite
Due to our work on licensing agreements, we have
diverted resources from this project at this time and will resume
focus on this and other innovative pipeline projects when we’ve
closed our deals.
Events
We will be participating in person with
partnering meetings during BIO International June 13-16 in San
Diego. BIO One-On-One Partnering™ opportunities with over 15,000
biotechnology leaders the largest of its kind. For more
information, please visit

Financials
In February 2022, 12,258,960 warrants were
exercised for proceeds of $1,961,434.
In addition, as announced on March 9, 2022, our
wholly owned subsidiary TFChem, has been awarded financing to
develop an advanced chemistry process that could improve the
manufacturing of active ingredients.
Furthermore, and most importantly: we anticipate
very significant positive corporate developments that will
completely change the company's financial situation - for the long
term.
