Elucidating the Scope and Claims of United States Patent 9045547: An Analysis of Therapeutic Peptides

United States Patent 9045547, titled "Intracellular and/or extracellular delivery system for therapeutic peptide compositions," was granted to pharmaceutical company Genta Inc. The patented technology focuses on a novel delivery system for therapeutic peptides. This article delves into the patent's scope and claims to decipher its significance.

Background and Problem Statement

The patent's background emphasizes the importance of delivering therapeutic peptides across cell membranes to achieve optimal therapeutic effects. Current methods including cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are limited by non-specific cell targeting, toxicity, and instability.

Claims and Delivery System

The patent's claims are centered around a novel delivery system featuring a polycationic compound, a peptide sequence, and a polyanionic molecule. This unique combination is designed to facilitate intracellular and/or extracellular delivery of therapeutic peptides. The delivery system boasts improved potency, reduced toxicity, and increased stability compared to existing CPPs.

Scope and Implications

The patented technology extends to various applications, including gene therapy, cancer treatment, and other diseases amenable to peptide-based therapies. The scope encompasses different modes of delivery, including systemic, topical, and parenteral administration. This comprehensive approach enables the targeted delivery of therapeutic peptides to specific cells, tissues, and organs.

Claims Listing

Selected claims from United States Patent 9045547 highlight the delivery system's significance:

  • Claims 1 and 15: Method of delivering at least one therapeutic peptide across a cell membrane using a polycationic compound, peptide sequence, and polyanionic molecule.
  • Claims 13 and 25: Peptide composite comprising a polycationic compound, peptide sequence, and polyanionic molecule for intracellular and/or extracellular delivery of therapeutic peptides.
  • Claims 23 and 29: Use of the peptide composite in a systemic, topical, or parenteral mode of administration.

Assessment and Outlook

United States Patent 9045547 presents a promising delivery system for therapeutic peptides, offering improved potency, reduced toxicity, and enhanced stability. As the pharmaceutical industry continues to evolve, this technology may unlock novel treatments for a range of diseases. Patent protection for such innovative delivery systems serves as a safeguard for companies seeking to commercialize groundbreaking advancements in biotechnology and medicine.
