The field of use may be limited to the use of 2-(4piperazinyl) substituted 4H-1benzopyran-4-one compounds, including 2-(4-piperazinyl)-8-phenyl4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (LY303511), for the treatment of cancer and/or other proliferative disorders not currently licensed, excluding the treatment and prevention of stenosis and restenosis. 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 December 17, 2007 will be considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The search for specific kinase inhibitors is an active area of drug development as there is a continued need for effective anti-proliferative therapeutics with acceptable toxicities. The core invention is a novel method of use of one of the 4H-1-benzopyran-4-one derivatives (LY303511) which has been shown to target mTOR and casein kinase 2 (CK2) without affecting PI3K activity (JPET, May 26, 2005, doi: 10.1124/ jpet.105.083550). Proof of concept data is available in an in vivo human zenograft PC–3 prostate tumor model, without observed toxicity. In vitro data suggest that (2-(4-piperazinyl)-8-phenyl4H-1-benzopyran-4-one and derivatives may be effective in treating inflammatory, autoimmune and other proliferative disorders including restenosis, inflammatory bowel disease and a variety of cancers. Method of use claims are directed to derivatives of 2(4-piperazinyl)-substituted 4H-1benzopyran-4-one compounds as antiproliferative, immunosuppressive, antiinflammatory, anti-restenosis and antineoplastic agents.

Prospective Grant of Exclusive License: Treatment of 
Proliferative Disorders Using an Unexpected mTOR Kinase Inhibitor

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, Public Health Service, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This is 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 application PCT/US2004/041265 filed December 9, 2004, entitled: 
``Methods for Suppressing an Immune Response or Treating a

The core invention is a novel method of use of one of the 4H-1-
benzopyran-4-one derivatives (LY303511) which has been shown to target 
mTOR and casein kinase 2 (CK2) without affecting PI3K activity (JPET,

proliferative, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, anti-restenosis 
and anti-neoplastic agents.
    The prospective exclusive license will be royalty bearing and will 
comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
