 ◦ This unified platform integrates sequence design, chemical modification, experimental
   validation, extrahepatic delivery design, and intellectual property strategy 
   into an integrated computational–experimental workflow, pioneering in vivo efficacy
   prediction models to accelerate drug development.
 ◦ Validating this infrastructure, XtalPi announced the advancement of six proprietary
   preclinical programs targeting complex diseases, with the first one reaching 
   NHP data in just 7 months; in utilizing optimized ligand-based delivery mechanisms,
   XtalPi is advancing RNA interference therapies beyond the liver.
 ◦ Internal preclinical data benchmarking demonstrates a nearly threefold increase
   in molecular design efficiency compared to conventional workflows, alongside 
   a first-round in vivo hit rate exceeding 50% across multiple target programs.

BOSTON and BEIJING, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XtalPi Holdings Limited (HKEX: 2228),
an AI and robotics-driven drug and materials discovery company, today debuted Kodexia
™, the industry’s first closed-loop small interfering RNA (siRNA) discovery platform
combining generative AI, first-principles-driven biological modeling, and automated
experimentation. Validating the rapid execution capabilities of this new infrastructure,
the company simultaneously announced the advancement of six proprietary therapeutic
programs, marking the successful expansion of XtalPi’s technology into nucleic acid
therapeutics.

By silencing disease-driving genes upstream of protein production, siRNA therapeutics
offer immense potential for biological targets that conventional modalities struggle
to address. However, clinical development remains heavily constrained by fragmented
sequence and modification design processes, restrictive patent barriers, inconsistent
translation from cellular assays to animal models, and severe limitations in extrahepatic
delivery.

To address these interdependent bottlenecks, XtalPi drew on domain-specific expertise
to develop siFormer, the proprietary architecture at the core of Kodexia™. By seamlessly
integrating RNAi biological mechanisms with nucleic acid chemistry principles, siFormer
delivers a qualitative leap in predictive accuracy that surpasses conventional design
baselines. The architecture incorporates RNA thermodynamics and structural features
relevant to strand loading, target accessibility, and silencing efficiency. These
mechanistic constraints guide molecular generation toward biologically plausible
designs rather than relying on sequence correlations alone. Through this unified
approach, Kodexia™ enables researchers to systematically balance potency, in vivo
translation, durability, off-target activity, safety, and patentability instead 
of optimizing single endpoints in isolation.

To execute this multiparameter optimization, XtalPi utilizes a closed-loop process
of computational design, automated experimentation, and empirical feedback. Generative
models and the proprietary siFormer architecture operate continuously with XtalPi’s
automated laboratories, which conduct more than 500 in vitro and 30 in vivo experiments
weekly. This seamless integration enables the parallel development of multiple target
programs, yielding a nearly threefold increase in design efficiency. Notably, more
than 50% of first-round designs tested across multiple programs showed stronger 
in vivo activity than positive controls.

Kodexia™ also globally co-optimizes dual-target siRNAs as single molecules, creating
a strategy for disease biology that may not be adequately addressed through single-
target intervention. For extrahepatic delivery, the platform co-designs siRNA molecules
with their targeting systems and applies multi-objective optimization to antibody,
peptide, and small-molecule conjugates. These capabilities are being applied to 
delivery research targeting the kidney, spleen, and adipose tissue.

The platform’s lead program in immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy serves as an early
empirical validation of this unified architecture. The program reached non-human
primate efficacy data within seven months, demonstrating greater activity and durability
than a clinical-stage reference molecule targeting the same target. The program 
is on track for preclinical candidate selection within a nine-month project timeline,
significantly accelerating the industry norm of 12 to 18 months.

Kodexia™ currently drives six proprietary programs across metabolic, renal, respiratory,
and central nervous system diseases, with more than half having already completed
in vivo efficacy evaluations. Each internal program generates high-value experimental
data that feeds directly back into the platform’s models, reinforcing a continuous
cycle of discovery and commercial translation. As a global scientific utility platform,
XtalPi leverages this capability alongside its established expertise in small molecules,
antibodies, and peptides. By advancing these internal assets in tandem with established
industry collaborations, XtalPi empowers its partners to pursue high-value targets
using the modality best suited to the mechanistic and biophysical principles of 
RNA interference, including RNA thermodynamics and structural features, ultimately
accelerating the delivery of next-generation RNA therapies for patients worldwide.
