Since there is an increasing demand of radioligands for in vivo imaging of peripheral opioid receptors, this technology has the potential of enhancing current practices of PET imaging in oncology. Available for licensing are compositions and methods of locating delta- and/or mu-opioid receptors located in peripheral cancers, such as in lung, breast, and/or colorectal cancer, using opiate radioligands. Applications: Non-invasive tool for screening lung, breast, and/or colorectal cancers. Diagnostic tool for use in PET imaging. Market: For 2007, it was projected that close to 1.5 million Americans would develop cancer. PET imaging is steadily becoming a technique of choice in oncology so many of these patients will likely undergo scans several times during their treatment to assess the stage of their disease. This is supported by rising sales of FDG, which are expected to reach $933 million by 2012. Development Status: Early stage. Inventors: Lawrence H. Lazarus (NIEHS) et al. Relevant Publication: KA Roth and JD Barchas. Small cell carcinoma cell lines contain opioid peptides and receptors. Cancer 1986 Feb 15;57(4):769–773. Patent Status: U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/970,143 filed 05 Sep 2007 (HHS Reference No. E–317–2007/ 0–US–01). Licensing Status: Available for licensing. Licensing Contact: Charlene A. Sydnor, PhD.; 301–435–4689; sydnorc@mail.nih.gov. Collaborative Research Opportunity: The NIEHS Laboratory of Pharmacology, Medicinal Chemistry Group, is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize this technology. Please contact Elizabeth Denholm, PhD., Director, NIEHS Office of Technology Transfer, at 919–541–0981 or denholme@mail.nih.gov for more information. Novel Isoform of KCNH2 for the Treatment of Schizophrenia Description of Technology: Researchers at the NIH report the discovery and characterization of a novel isoform of the voltage-gated potassium channel KCNH2. This novel isoform is shown to control neurological firing and has implication as a genetic risk factor for schizophrenia. It is highly expressed in the hippocampus of VerDate Aug<31>2005 12:39 Jun 23, 2008 Jkt 214001 schizophrenic patients and also in normal individuals who carry riskassociated alleles of KCNH2. This novel isoform may be a suitable target for drug development as is it minimally expressed in the heart with the potential to exert less adverse cardiovascular side-effects, which is often a consequence of currently available antipsychotic drugs. Available for licensing and commercial development are nucleic acids, polypeptides and antibodies specific for this novel isoform, as well as methods of screening for therapeutic agents and predicting susceptibility to schizophrenia. Applications: Potential new psychotherapeutic agent with less cardiac side-effects. Potential drug screening assay for identifying new psychotherapeutic drugs. Potential diagnostic tool for determining susceptibility of schizophrenia. Market: Schizophrenia is among the most severe of the mental illnesses and has a lifetime prevalence of approximately 1% worldwide. More than 2,000,000 Americans have schizophrenia and it accounts for 2.5% of U.S. health care costs and 75% of expenditures for long-term mental health. Development Status: Early stage. Inventors: Daniel R. Weinberger et al. (NIMH). Patent Status: U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/920,220 filed 26 Mar 2007 (HHS Reference No. E–245–2006/ 0–US–01). PCT Application No. PCT/US2008/ 057913 filed 21 Mar 2008 (HHS Reference No. E–245–2006/0–PCT–02). Licensing Status: Available for licensing. Licensing Contact: Charlene A. Sydnor, PhD.; 301–435–4689; sydnorc@mail.nih.gov. Collaborative Research Opportunity: The NIMH Clinical Brain Disorders Branch is seeking statements of capability or interest from parties interested in collaborative research to further develop, evaluate, or commercialize potassium channel isoform associated with schizophrenia. Please contact Suzanne Winfield at 301– 402–4324/winfiels@mail.nih.gov for more information. Dated: June 13, 2008. Richard U.
