2 The causes of muscle cramping are poorly understood Muscle cramping is a common problem with no approved clinical treatment. Recent research has shown that most cramping is not caused by dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. The best current hypothesis is that cramping reflects persistent firing of alpha motor-neurons, not a direct property of the muscle itself. There is no laboratory animal model of cramping. 2
3 The key element in muscle cramping may be the same as in muscle spasms: persistent motor neuron firing Muscle spasms in a rat model of spinal cord injury reflect long-lasting firing of motoneurons. K.C. Murray, M.J. Stephens, E.M. Ballou, C.J. Heckman, D.J. Bennett J. Neurophysiol. 105: , 2010 Self-sustained long-lasting firing produced by Ia synaptic input in the motoneuron of a decerebrate cat. R.H. Lee and C.J. Heckman J. Neurophysiol. 76: ,
4 Muscle cramp can be reproducibly induced by brief repetitive stimulation of motor end-plates at 5-20 Hz Flexor hallucis brevis SNmulated with 180 microsecond biphasic square pulses at 8, 10 or 12 Hz for 5 seconds. 4
5 Drinking pickle juice decreases cramp duration and acts within 90 seconds (Miller et al., 2010) K.C. Miller, G.W. Mack, K.L. Knight, J. Ty Hopkins, D.O. Draper, P.J. Fields, and I. Hunter Med Sci Sports Exerc. 42: , We hypothesized that the acetic acid in pickle juice acts by stimulating sensory nerve endings in the mouth, esophagus or stomach via activation of TRPV1 and/or TRPA1 channels. More potent and efficacious TRPV1 and TRPA1 activators are available in natural products, including capsicum (TRPV1), gingerols (TRPV1 and TRPA1), and cinnamaldehyde (TRPA1). 5
6 Drinking Flex beverage containing natural extracts produces long-lasting inhibition of electrically-induced muscle cramping Subjects drank 50 ml of a beverage containing aqueous extracts of capsicum, cinnamon and ginger. 6
7 Collected data in 37 subjects showed highly significant effect of Flex treatment vs. vehicle control Overall Time- course (aggregate over 3 studies) Overall treatment Effect (aggregate over all time points) ΔEMG-AUC from Baseline (uv sec) Time (h) Flex Treatment Vehicle Control ΔEMG-AUC from Baseline (uv sec) Error bars represent standard deviation Error bars represent standard error of the mean **** Vehicle Control Flex Treatment Flex treatment and vehicle data were compiled across three independent, randomized, blinded crossover studies (n=37, normal healthy volunteers) Flex treatment decreased the mean cramp intensity within 15 min and effect lasted 6-8h Flex treatment significantly reduced cramp intensity by 3-fold (ANOVA, p<0.0001) Flex treatment was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events 7

12 Muscle cramping occurs in a spectrum of neuromuscular disorders Nocturnal Leg Cramps Sudden painful contraction reducing sleep quality No drug approved in the U.S. U.S. Patient Population 37% prevalence for 50+ yo 1 ~4M over 65 yo suffer daily 2 No evidence that common remedies such as electrolyte replacement, bananas and hydration afford relief No approved drug in US to treat Severe Neuromuscular Conditions Spinal Cord Spasticity, Dystonias, Multiple Sclerosis U.S. Patient Population Cervical dystonia: 90K patients 3 Spinal spasticity: 150K patients 4 MS: 250K 350K patients 5, 84% of whom experience spasticity Exercise Associated Muscle Cramps (EAMCs) Rhona Wise European Pressphoto Agency Impacts both weekend warriors and elite athletes 1 Naylor & Young, A General Population Survey of Rest Cramps, Age and Ageing Estimates based on third party survey results 3 National Spasmodic Torticollis Association 4 Own estimates 5 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke 12
13 Summary and Clinical Implications TRPV1 and TRPA1 activation demonstrates a significant reduction in muscle cramp intensity compared to vehicle control Results from three independent human studies: o o o Treatment effect observed at 15 minutes lasting up to 6-8 hours Cramp muscle contractions reduced by 3-fold Well-tolerated with no serious adverse events Identification of active components may allow improved formulations 13
