Introduction
Oragenics
Inc.
(NYSE
MKT:
OGEN,
market
cap
$83M

)
is
focused
on
leveragin
g its expertise in lantibiotics and probiotics with Intrexon’s leading synthetic
biology platform via two exclusive channel collaborations (ECCs)
to develop
novel biotherapeutics, including: 
1.
Lantibiotics:
a
novel
class
of
peptide
antibacterial
compounds
produced
by
certain bacteria that display broad-spectrum activity against antibiotic-
resistant strains such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus
(VRE), Clostridium difficile (C.
diff),
Resistant
Tuberculosis
and
other
Gram-positive
bacteria
2.
Next Generation Probiotics:
bacteria-based biotherapeutics for oral
cavity, throat, sinus, and esophagus diseases, beginning with Behçet’s
disease and aphthous stomatitis
Oragenics also markets proprietary OTC oral care probiotics (ProBiora3
®
)

Serious Need for New Antibiotics
“We Will Soon Be in a Post-Antibiotic Era”
The Sep. 2013 CDC report making headlines
highlighted the serious threats of antibiotic-
resistant infections and the need for new
antibiotics:
Over 2 million infections and 23,000
deaths each year in the U.S. are caused
by resistant microbes
Over $20 billion in direct healthcare
spending as a result of resistance
infections
Over $35 billion in additional costs due to
lost productivity

Lantibiotics
A Promising Solution to the Growing Health
Crisis of Antibacterial Resistance
Lantibiotics are a novel class of peptide antibacterial compounds:
Naturally-produced by a variety of Gram-positive bacterial strains
to attack competing bacterial strains
There are more than 50 known lantibiotics, potentially creating a
pipeline of new compounds to target resistant infections
Historically, their development as commercially-viable products
has been limited by technological hurdles
Oragenics is well-positioned to bring lantibiotics to the market:
Collaboration with Intrexon, a leader in synthetic biology,
expected to enable the production of lantibiotics at commercial
scale
Collaboration has already:
Produced a significant increase in production titer yield
Enabled development of robust purification methods compared
to traditional approaches


7
Lead Lantibiotic Compound MU1140
Initial focus is on MU1140, a lantibiotic shown to be effective against:
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)
Clostridium difficile (C. diff)
Resistant Tuberculosis
Other Gram positive bacteria
Preliminary preclinical data suggests:
Excellent therapeutic index
Minimal cytotoxicity in vitro using mouse and human cell lines; minimal immunogenicity
Maximum tolerated dose in mice and rats >50 mg/Kg

Intrexon collaboration has already produced a significant increase in
fermentation titer and is developing a promising new purification
process
Matrix of early experiments planned to screen MU1140 (and several
analogs/homologs) for determining primary efficacy (e.g. MICs, MTD,
primary efficacy in animals, protein binding, etc.)

Synthetic Biology Enables Lantibiotics
Synthetic biology is the application of engineering principles to the
design of living organisms and their constituent parts (DNA, proteins,
and cells)
We are collaborating with Intrexon, a leading synthetic biology
company, for the development and commercialization of lantibiotics
for the treatment of infectious diseases in humans and companion
animals
Intrexon’s toolset of modular molecular and cellular parts is expected
to enable the engineering of specific functionality into cells to allow
industrial scale production of lantibiotics

Next Generation Probiotics
Potential to Revolutionize Probiotics for Oral
Diseases
We are also developing, in collaboration with Intrexon, novel probiotics
focusing on the treatment of patients with oral cavity, throat, sinus, and
esophageal diseases
Initial indications:
Behçet’s disease -
a chronic relapsing multi-systemic inflammatory disorder
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (aka canker sores) –
painful ulcers; the most
common oral mucosal disease known
As with lantibiotics, we expect to genetically manipulate bacteria; in this
case beneficial bacteria that are naturally part of the human oral cavity
microbiome
The collaboration will focus on genetically-engineered bacterial strains
designed to deliver and release therapeutics locally at the site
of disease to
target pain management, reduce inflammation, and improve patient
outcomes


13
Lead Probiotic Programs
Behçet’s Disease and Aphthous Stomatitis
Behçet’s disease -
a chronic relapsing multi-systemic inflammatory
disorder characterized by four major symptoms (oral aphthous
ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions, and ocular lesions)
Patients suffering from Behçet’s disease are often in constant
pain and have difficulty eating
~20,000 patients in the U.S.; similar for Europe
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (aka canker sores)
painful ulcers;
the most common oral mucosal disease known
There are currently no effective treatments for aphthous
stomatitis
~200,000 patients in the U.S.
