Prospective Grant of Exclusive
License: Treatment of Cardiovascular
Conditions With Nitrite Therapy
National Institutes of Health,
Public Health Service, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice, in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR
404.7(a)(1)(i), that the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), is
contemplating the grant of an exclusive
license to practice the invention
embodied in PCT patent applications
PCT/US2004/21985 and PCT/US2004/
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
22232, filed July 9, 2004, both entitled
‘‘Use of Nitrite Salts for the Treatment
of Cardiovascular Conditions’’ [HHS
Reference Number: E–254–2003/2–3–
PCT–01], to Hope Medical Enterprises,
Inc., dba Hope PharmaceuticalsTM, an
Arizona S-Corporation having a
principle place of business in
Scottsdale, Arizona. The field of use
may be limited to the use of nitrite salts
for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm
following subarachnoid hemorrhage
and/or cardiovascular conditions. The
United States of America is an assignee
of the patent rights in these inventions.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
application for a license, which are
received by the NIH Office of
Technology Transfer on or before
February 28, 2006 will be considered.
ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the
patent application, inquiries, comments
and other materials relating to the
contemplated license should be directed
to: Susan Carson, D.Phil., Office of
Technology Transfer, National Institutes
of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard,
Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852–3804;
E-mail: carsonsu@od.nih.gov;
Telephone: (301) 435–5020; Facsimile:
(301) 402–0220.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A wide
variety of disease indications, including
cardiovascular and respiratory diseases,
have been treated by different
therapeutic classes of compounds that
are able to increase blood flow and act
as vasodilators. The core invention is
the unexpected finding that low,
physiological and non-toxic
concentrations of sodium nitrite are able
to increase blood flow and produce
vasodilation by infused and nebulized
routes of administration. Proof of
concept data has been obtained in
animal models for (1) myocardial and
hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury
[J. Clin. Invest. (2005) 115, 1232–1240],
(2) neonatal pulmonary hypertension in
a neonate lamb model [Nature Medicine
(2004) 10, 1122–1127] and (3) control of
delayed cerebral vasospasm following
subarachnoid hemorrhage in a primate
model [JAMA (2005) 293, 1477–1484].
The implications of these results point
to the use of nitrite as a potential costeffective platform therapy for a wide
variety of disease indications
characterized broadly by constricted
blood flow or hypoxia. Method of use
claims for nitrite salt formulations are
directed to conditions associated with
high blood pressure, decreased blood
flow or hemolytic disease and for the
treatment of specific conditions such as
pulmonary hypertension, cerebral artery
vasospasm and hepatic, cardiac or brain
ischemia-reperfusion injury.
