United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued the Company a new Notice of Allowance for a patent on anti-neoplastic compounds and methods targeting Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase 1 (QSOX1), an enzyme important for tumor cell growth, invasion and metastasis.
The grant will support the continued development of novel small molecules that inhibit the enzymatic activity of Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase I (“QSOX1”) based on a lead compound. QSOX1 is a tumor-derived enzyme that is important for cancer growth, invasion and metastasis.
Sapphire scientists have generated and tested over 90 analogs of SBI-183 and discovered that one analog, SPX-1009, was tenfold more potent than SBI-183 in suppressing tumor invasion and metastasis in vitro.
SI, the intellectual property management company for Arizona State University, licensed the Patents, Technical Information and Materials to Sapphire on behalf of SI and Mayo Clinic.
AXIM® Biotechnologies, has signed a binding term sheet to acquire leading oncology research and development company Sapphire Biotech as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
