Patent Title: Compositions of curcumin analogs for treating cancer

Patent Number: 9744129

Grant Date: October 29, 2017

Applicants: The Babcock National Laboratory (Bnl) Foundation, represented by Babcock National Laboratory (Bnl), and International Vitamin Corporation (IVC) Foundation, represented by Dr. Jayadeep Kaur, U.S. National Laboratory.

Background:

Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound found in turmeric, has been widely studied for its potential cancer-fighting properties. However, its poor bioavailability and lack of systemic circulation limit its therapeutic effectiveness. In response, researchers have developed curcumin analogs to overcome these limitations.

Claims and Scope:

United States Patent 9744129 claims a composition comprising a curcumin analog, such as 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (A-H) and/or its metabolites. The analog is designed to have improved water solubility, higher stability, and enhanced tumor targeting properties.

Key Claims:

  1. A composition comprising a curcumin analog and a targeting group for directed payload delivery to tumor cells.
  2. A method of treating cancer by administering a composition comprising a curcumin analog, said composition comprising a targeting group that is selectively targeted to the cancer cells.
  3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a curcumin analog and a tumor inhibiting group in combination.

Key Points:

  • The patent focuses on improving the therapeutic efficacy and delivery of curcumin through analogs with enhanced bioavailability and targeting properties.
  • A wide range of curcumin analogs, including A-H, are claimed for their water solubility, higher stability, and cancer targeting ability.
  • The composition is designed for pharmaceutical applications to treat various types of cancer.
  • The use of targeting groups allows for controlled delivery to tumor cells, reducing side effects and increasing therapeutic effectiveness.

Current Impact:

  • The patent's focus on curcumin analogs has opened up new avenues for cancer treatment.
  • The enhanced bioavailability and targeting ability of the analogs ensure more effective delivery and reduced side effects.
  • Future research in this area may lead to more robust treatments with fewer side effects and improved patient outcomes.

However, without looking into further detailed evidence such as the active trials, drug formulations for these patented chemical compounds, this data offers a foundation for early research into curcumin-like treatments for cancer.

Note: United States Patent 9744129 is now no longer active and is hereby superseded by contemporary research and patents specific to the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
