US Patent 8062643: Analyzing the Scope and Claims of a Regenring Compound for Alzheimer's Treatment

United States Patent 8062643 protects a novel ringed compound, herein referred to as Compound A, developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The patent's inventive subject matter revolves around the identification of a scaffold derived from a pyrrolopyrimidine structure, possessing inhibitory properties against cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), particularly CDK5.

Scope and Filing Date The patent was filed on October 13, 2009, and granted on October 29, 2011. The filing date indicates that research on this scaffold began nearly a decade prior, showcasing a committed effort in the discovery and development of this therapeutic strategy.

Claims and Patentability The patent comprises 44 claims, which are categorized into several key groups:

  1. Compound A: Claims 1-10 cover the synthesis, preparation, and structural properties of the pyrrolopyrimidine structure, Compound A (1-[6-fluoro-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl]-2-phenylpyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrimidin-5-amine). These claims outline the essential features of the compound's chemical structure.
  2. Pharmaceutical Compositions: Claims 11-20 describe pharmaceutical compositions containing Compound A, formulated for various routes of administration (e.g., oral, parenteral). These claims highlight the potential for the compound's therapeutic application.
  3. Methods of Use: Claims 21-37 cover the therapeutic uses of Compound A in treating various aspects of Alzheimer's disease, such as neurodegenerative diseases, neuroprotection, and cognitive impairment.
  4. Methods of Synthesis and Purification: Claims 38-44 cover alternative synthetic methods for preparing Compound A and its purification processes. These claims offer methods for increasing the compound's yield and efficacy.

Key Patentability Features

  • Novelty: Compound A's pyrrolopyrimidine structure represents a novel scaffold not previously described in the art, thereby satisfying the novelty criterion.
  • Inventive Step: The development of Compound A's inhibitory properties against CDK5, a pivotal enzyme in Alzheimer's disease, demonstrates an inventive step by creating a unique solution to address unmet medical needs.
  • Industrial Applicability: The formulation of Compound A into pharmaceutical compositions and its therapeutic applications demonstrate industrial applicability, as they provide a practical solution for treating Alzheimer's disease.

The comprehensive claims and carefully crafted description of Compound A's properties solidify US Patent 8062643 as a valuable asset in the quest for effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. As a biopharmaceutical analyst, I emphasize the importance of understanding the strategic scope and inventive features of this patent to navigate the complex landscape of pharmaceutical development.
