BROAD-SPECTRUM ANTI-MICROBIAL POTENTIAL
INFECTIOUS DISEASES: EFFECTIVE AGAINST VIRUSES, BACTERIA AND FUNGI IN VITRO
“Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 threats facing humanity”
World Health Organisation1
Leading Institutions: Viroclinics conducted virus
tests & ACARE (University of Adelaide) conducted
bacteria and fungi tests
Broad Spectrum Potential: In vitro tests showed
PhotosoftTM to be effective against several types of
pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant superbugs
Need for New Treatment Options: Potential for
PhotosoftTM as a new treatment class for
polymicrobial infections and/or where pathogens
cannot develop drug resistance

Given the general mode
of action of PDT, we
surmise that it is unlikely for
superbugs to develop
resistance to the
compounds.

1 Monensin is an antibiotic known to have activity against Zika in
in vitro laboratory tests and was a control (benchmark) in these
studies, but due to its in vivo toxicity cannot be used in humans
Several PhotosoftTM compounds had >100x the
activity of Monensin3 (selected control) in vitro
One compound had an EC50 (half max effective
concentration) >90 times lower than Monensin
Zika virus is found in 86 countries and is linked to
birth defects and other neurological complications
Dengue causes intense pain in joints and
muscles, hence its nickname “breakbone fever”
Market is ~US$17 billion in 20221 with no vaccines or
treatments currently available2
Treatment market is forecast to hit US$1.3 billion

WHAT IS ATHEROSCLEROSIS
KEY CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE DEATHS GLOBALLY
Atherosclerosis is a common condition where
sticky substances called plaque builds up in
arteries
Preclinical studies underway to test if
Photosoft™ can safely break down the plague
Diseases linked to atherosclerosis is the leading
cause of death in the US*
About half of Americans between ages 45 and
84 have atherosclerosis and don’t know it*
The global atherosclerosis market is estimated
to grow to US$58.2 bn by 2032+

Invion becomes aware of material information relating to RMW’s studies, Invion will release the information to the ASX in compliance with
its disclosure obligations (noting however that Invion is not involved in RMW’s studies and does not have direct access to information)
