About SignalChem Lifesciences Corporation

SLC, a private company incorporated in British Columbia, discovers and develops innovative novel small molecule targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, autoimmune, pulmonary and central nervous system diseases with unmet medical need. SLC currently has created a robust pipeline of novel drug candidates for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and pulmonary arterial hypertension by applying its proprietary drug discovery technology platform. SLC plans to begin human clinical trials with its novel drug candidates in these three diseases in 2013. In addition, SLC has developed a robust kinase technology platform that SLC believes it has optimized to generate additional new drug candidates against clinically relevant and biologically validated next generation kinase targets. These new kinase drug candidates should significantly bolster the current drug candidate pipeline.
