Surgical Tool for Ocular Tissue
Transplantation
Description of Technology: The
invention pertains to a device for
delivering in a precise and controlled
way a piece of tissue or sheet of cells
into the eye such that manipulation of
and damage to the tissue, cells, and eye
are minimized. The device features a
handle with actuating means, a
stationary needle extending from the
handle to the distal tip, and a pair of
grasping arms at the distal tip
configured for holding tissue or a sheet
of cells. An outer tip needle is slidably
disposed along a length the stationary
needle. When the outer tip needle is
disposed over the pair of grasping arms,
the arms are collapsed. When the outer
tip needle is withdrawn away from the
grasping arms, the arms are expanded.
The outer tip needle, when disposed
over the grasping arms, also allows for
protection of the tissue or sheet of cells
during surgical manipulation.
Potential Commercial Applications:
• Ocular transplantation
• Ocular surgery
Competitive Advantages: Can perform
transplantation of micron-sized tissue or
cell grafts.

High-Affinity Dopamine D3 Receptor
Antagonists and Partial Agonists
Description of Technology:
Investigators at the National Institute on
Drug Abuse (NIDA) have synthesized a
novel class of dopamine D3 receptor
ligands using click chemistry. These
novel compounds contain a triazole
instead of an amide group between the
primary and secondary pharmacophore.
Although the amide linker has been
shown to be essential for high affinity
and selectivity in certain D3 receptor
ligands, NIDA investigators have
determined that the triazole linker
maintains desired D3 receptor-binding
functionality, and may improve
bioavailability because of its resistance
to metabolic amidases.
Potential Commercial Applications:
• Therapeutic agent for substance abuse
(such as alcohol, nicotine, cocaine,
methamphetamine, opioids)
• Therapeutic agent for cognitive
disorders (such as schizophrenia,
Parkinson’s disease, dyskinesia,
depression)
• Therapeutic agent for restless legs
syndrome
Competitive Advantages:
• Higher affinity for the dopamine D3
receptor
• Improved bioavailability
Development Stage: Early-stage.
Inventors: Amy H. Newman, Ashwini
Banala, Thomas M. Keck (all of NIDA).

Collaborative Research Opportunity:
The National Institute on Drug Abuse is
seeking statements of capability or
interest from parties interested in
collaborative research to further
develop, evaluate or commercialize D3
receptor selective antagonists/agonists.
