Solbec granted patent
Thursday, 29 September, 2005
Solbec Pharmaceuticals (ASX:SBP) has been granted an Australian patent giving the company the monopoly right to prevent others from isolating the rhamnose binding protein receptor of its lead compound Coramsine.
Last month Solbec was granted a US patent based on the same inventive material. The RBP receptor is over-expressed in mammalian cancer cells, but not in healthy cells, and explains why Solbec's Coramsine is selective in targeting cancer cells.
The term of the patent runs until February 2023.
