Pharmacyclics Incorporated

Pharmacyclics, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company developing energy-potentiating drugs to improve radiation therapy andchemotherapy of cancer, and to enable or improve the photodynamic therapy of certain cancers, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and retinal diseases. The Company's products are ring-shaped small molecules, called "texaphyrins,"

which are patented agents derived from Pharmacyclics' versatile technology platform for designing and synthesizing energy-potentiating drugs. These texaphyrins localize in cancer cells and atherosclerotic plaque, where they can be activated by forms of energy, including X-ray, chemical and light, to selectively eliminate diseased tissue. The Company's lead texaphyrin-based product candidates are Gd-Tex, a gadolinium texaphyrin molecule being developed for use as a radiation sensitizer (initially in the treatment of brain metastases) and chemosensitizer; LUTRIN(TM) photosensitizer, a lutetium texaphyrin molecule being developed as a photosensitizer for use in photodynamic therapy of cancer; ANTRIN(TM) photosensitizer, a lutetium texaphyrin molecule being developed as a photosensitizer for use in the photoangioplasty of atherosclerosis; and OPTRIN(TM) photosensitizer, a lutetium texaphyrin molecule being developed as a photosensitizer for use in photodynamic therapy of age related macular degeneration (ARMD).
