CB1 receptor activation plays a key role in appetitive behavior and metabolism. Dr. Kunos and colleagues have designed a set of CB1 receptor inverse agonists that are effective at reducing obesity and its associated metabolic consequences while not causing the adverse neuropsychotropic side effects linked to earlier antagonists such as rimonabant. The CB1 receptor compounds were developed with the goals of (1) limiting their brain penetrance without losing their metabolic efficacy due to CB1 inverse agonism, and (2) generating compounds whose primary metabolite directly targets enzymes involved in inflammatory and fibrotic processes associated with metabolic disorders. The patent application of this technology are to the composition of matter and methods of use to the cannabinoid receptor (CB1) blocking compounds for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease and a variety of obesity-related metabolic syndromes. The technology has the potential to be the next generation of safer CB1 receptor therapeutics for treating obesity. Potential Commercial Applications: • Treatment for obesity • Treatment for metabolic syndrome • Treatment of diabetes • Treatment of fibrosis • Treatment of Fatty Liver Disease such as Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) Competitive Advantages: • Inhibits metabolic activity without causing psychiatric side effects • Offers improved anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic efficacy Development Stage: • In vitro data available • In vivo data available (animal) Inventors: George Kunos (NIAAA), Malliga Iyer (NIAAA), Resat Cinar (NIAAA), Kenner Rice (NIDA) Intellectual Property: • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– US–01—US Provisional Patent Application No. 61/725,949 filed November 13, 2012 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– PCT–02—PCT Application No. PCT/ US2013/069686 filed November 12, 2013 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– US–03—US Patent Application No. 14/ 442,383 filed May 12, 2015 VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:34 Oct 02, 2015 Jkt 238001 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– CA–04—Canadian Patent Application No. 2889697 filed April 27, 2015 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– EP–05—European Patent Application No. 13802153.0 filed June 01, 2015 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– IN–06—Indian Patent Application No. 3733/DELNP/2015 filed May 01, 2015 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– JP–07—Japanese Patent Application No. 2015–542015 filed May 11, 2015 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/0– CN–08—Chinese Patent Application No. 201380069389.9 filed July 3, 2015 • HHS Reference No. E–282–2012/1– US–01—US Provisional Application No. 62/171, 179 filed June 04, 2015 Licensing Contact: Jasmine Yang, Ph.D.; 301–451–7836; jasmine.yang@ nih.gov.
