[FR Doc. 2017–19435 Filed 9–12–17; 8:45 am] FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Microdose Radiopharmaceutical Diagnostic Drugs: Nonclinical Study Recommendations.’’ This draft guidance is intended to assist developers of microdose radiopharmaceutical diagnostic drugs on the nonclinical studies recommended to support human clinical trials and marketing authorization. The draft guidance discusses how to refine nonclinical study recommendations for this class of drug given its unique characteristics. This draft guidance is intended to provide recommendations for a pathway to full drug development (marketing authorization) for microdose radiopharmaceutical diagnostic drugs. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on nonclinical studies recommended for microdose radiopharmaceutical PO 00000 diagnostic drugs. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

A description of the technology available for licensing follows. Pyrophosphate Analog HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Description of Technology: The invention relates to compounds that inhibit HIV-1 DNA synthesis mediated by reverse transcriptase (RT). HIV-1 DNA synthesis by RT utilizes deoxynucleoside 5′-triphosphate (dNTP) as substrate and like many other enzymes, the reaction is reversible. Pyrophosphate analogs like imidodiphosphate strongly promote reverse reaction dNTP products containing the imidodiphosphate group instead of the naturally occurring pyrophosphate group. This imidodiphosphate-containing dNTP was found to be a potent inhibitor of the forward RT reaction. Whereas pyrophosphorolysis is limited by a nonchemical step, replacing the bridging oxygen of pyrophosphate with an imido group resulted in a change in the rate-limiting step, so that the imidodiphosphate-dependent reverse reaction was limited by chemistry. There exists, then, the potential to use pyrophosphate analogs therapeutically. Potential Commercial Applications: • Anti-microbial. • HIV therapeutic. Development Stage: • In vitro data available.
