caprotec bioanalytics Adds Two Patents to its Patent Estate
caprotec bioanalytics GmbH announced that the Canadian Patent Office has granted two Canadian patents covering the Company’s Capture Compound mass spectrometry (CCMS) technology. CCMS offers a novel and direct way to investigate small molecule-protein interactions resulting in a significant functional reduction of proteome complexity.
Canadian Patent No. 2,513,549, entitled “Capture Compounds, Collections Thereof and Methods For Analyzing the Proteome and Complex Compositions” covers these applications. Equivalent patents have been issued in Australia (2004206856) and Singapore (200504446-6), have been allowed in India and are pending in all major countries. The Canadian Patent No. 2.453,434, entitled “Compounds and Methods for Analyzing the Proteome” describes Capture Compounds and methods to discover protein biomarkers for diagnostic applications. An equivalent patent has been issued in Japan (3935487) and has been allowed as a European Patent, and applications are pending in major countries.
According to the company, Capture Compounds enable the direct isolation and identification of selected proteins, including membrane proteins, out of any complex biological sample. Another application is the profiling of small molecule drug-protein interactions to discover or confirm protein drug targets and potential off-target proteins that cause side effects. This knowledge is used for lead optimizations and risk assessment of candidate drugs to make a decision of whether to enter the expensive clinical trial process. CCMS therefore will help to significantly reduce the attrition rate, dramatically influencing time and cost of drug development.
