SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This technology concerns a new series of diazeniumdiolate derivatives that are stable in neutral to acidic environments and generate nitric oxide in basic or nucleophilic environments. These synthesized derivatives are potentially suited to the delivery of nitric oxide to basic or nucleophilic compartments within the body. They may be useful for inactivating proteins to prevent detoxification of chemotherapeutic agents or disruption of proteins active in tumor formation, infection, or regulatory activities. The compounds are stable in an aqueous environment but can be activated by enzymatic action to release nitric oxide that is believed to be useful in treating fulminant liver failure, respiratory problems, impotence, and a variety of cardiovascular/hematologic disorders. The diazeniumdiolates have also been derivatized by their incorporation into polymers. These compounds may allow for site specific delivery of nitric oxide. Overall, these compounds appear to be applicable toward the wide variety of processes involving nitric oxide. The patents and patent applications for this technology contain claims that cover a family of diazeniumdiolate compounds, including: (1) O2substituted diazeniumdiolates; (2) O2glycosylated diazeniumdiolates; and (3) O2-substituted 1-[(2carboxylato)pyrrolidin-1-yl] diazeniumdiolates. Also covered are uses of these compounds as: (1) A treatment for a biological disorder, including angina, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, E:\FR\FM\26APN1.SGM 26APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 81 / Friday, April 26, 2013 / Notices hypertension, and metastasis; (2) A treatment for cancer; and (3) A treatment for an infectious agent, including a virus or parasite. The prospective start-up 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. The prospective start-up exclusive license may be granted unless within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, the NIH receives written evidence and argument that establishes that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. Properly filed competing applications for a license in response to this notice will be treated as objections to the contemplated license. Comments and objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available for public inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This technology concerns a new series of 
diazeniumdiolate derivatives that are stable in neutral to acidic 
environments and generate nitric oxide in basic or nucleophilic 
environments. These synthesized derivatives are potentially suited to 
the delivery of nitric oxide to basic or nucleophilic compartments

of these compounds as: (1) A treatment for a biological disorder, 
including angina, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart 
failure,

hypertension, and metastasis; (2) A treatment for cancer; and (3) A 
treatment for an infectious agent, including a virus or parasite.
    The prospective start-up 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. The prospective start-up exclusive license may be granted 
unless within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, 
the NIH receives written evidence and argument that establishes that 
the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements 
of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
    Properly filed competing applications for a license in response to 
this notice will be treated as objections to the contemplated license.
