BILLING CODE 4140–01–M 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

National Institutes of Health 

Prospective Grant of Exclusive 

License: Treatment of Cardiovascular 

Conditions With Nitrite Therapy 

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, 

Public Health Service, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is notice, in accordance 

with 35 U.S.C. § 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR 

§ (a)(1)(I), that the National Institutes of 

Health (NIH), Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS), is 

contemplating the grant of an exclusive 

license to practice the invention 

embodied in: PCT patent application 

PCT/US2004/041256 filed December 9, 

2004, entitled: ‘‘Methods for 

Suppressing an Immune Response or 

Treating a Proliferative Disorder’’ [HHS 

Reference Number: E–259–2003/0–PCT–

02], to Sahajanand Medical 

Technologies Pvt. Ltd., registered as a 

private limited company in accordance 

with the Companies Act of India, having 

a principle place of business in Surat, 

India and U.S. headquarters in 

Gaithersburg, Maryland. The field of use 

may be limited to the use of 2-(4- 

piperazinyl)-8-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran4-one (LY303511), for the treatment and 

prevention of stenosis and restenois 

and/or other proliferative disorders. The 

United States of America is an assignee 

of the patent rights in these inventions. 

DATES: Only written comments and/or 

application for a license, which are 

received by the NIH Office of 

Technology Transfer on or before 

October 13, 2006 will be considered. 

ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the 

patent application, inquiries, comments 

and other materials relating to the 

contemplated license should be directed 

to: Susan Carson, D. Phil, Office of 

Technology Transfer, National Institutes 

of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, 

Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852–3804; 

E-mail: carsonsu@od.nih.gov; 

Telephone: (301) 435–5020; Facsimile: 

(301) 402–0220. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

search for specific kinase inhibitors is 

an active area of drug development as 

there is a continued need for effective 

anti-proliferative therapeutics with 

acceptable toxicities. The core invention 

is a novel method of use of one of the 

4H-1-benzopyran-4-one derivatives 

(LY303511) which has been shown to 

target mTOR and casein kinase 2 (CK2) 

without affecting P13K activity (JPET, 

May 26, 2005, doi: 10.1124/ 

jpet.105.083550). Proof of concept data 

is available in an in vivo human 

zenograft PC-3 prostate tumor model, 

without observed toxicity. In vitro data 

suggests that (2-(4-piperazinyl)-8- 

pheynl-4H-1 benzopyran-4-one and 

derivatives may be effective in treating 

inflammatory, autoimmune and other 

proliferative disorders including 

restenosis and a variety of cancers. 

Method of use claims are directed to 

derivatives of 2-(4-piperazinyl)- 

substituted 4H-1-benzopyran-4-one 

compounds as anti-proliferative, 

immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, 

anti-restenosis and anti-neoplastic 

agents. 

The prospective exclusive license will 

be royalty bearing and will comply with 

the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 

209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective 

exclusive license may be granted unless, 

within 60 days from the date of this 

published Notice, NIH receives written 

evidence and argument that establishes 

that the grant of the license would not 

be consistent with the requirements of 

35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. 

Properly filed competing applications 

for a license filed in response to this 

notice will be treated as objections to 

the contemplated license. Comments 

and objections submitted in response to 

this notice will not be made available 

for public inspection, and, to the extent 

permitted by law, will not be released 

under the Freedom of Information Act, 

5 U.S.C. 552.

Privacy Act of 1974; Proposed Altered 

System of Records 

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health 

(NIH), Department of Health and Human 

Services (DHHS). 

ACTION: Notification of Proposed Altered 

System of Records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, 

as amended (Privacy Act), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) hereby 

publishes a notice of a proposal to alter 

System of Records, No. 09–25–0168, 

‘‘Invention, Patent, and Licensing 

Documents Submitted to the Public 

Health Service by its Employees, 

Grantees, Fellowship Recipients, and 

Contractors, HHS/NIH/OD.’’ NIH 

proposes a new legal authority for the 

maintenance of the System to read: 15 

U.S.C. 3710, 3710a, 3710c & 3710d and 

35 U.S.C. 200 et seq. provide authority 

to maintain the records; 37 CFR part 401 

‘‘Rights to Inventions Made by 

Nonprofit Organizations and Small 

Business Firms under Government 

Grants, Contracts, and Cooperative 

Agreements;’’ 37 CFR part 404 

‘‘Licensing of Government Owned 

Inventions;’’ and 45 CFR part 7 

‘‘Employee Inventions.’’ NIH is also 

proposing new routine uses for this 

System. 

These records will be maintained by 

the Office of Technology Transfer 

(OTT), OIR/OD; Office of Financial 

Management (OFM), OD; Office of 

Reports and Analysis (ORA), OER/OD;
