Patent Family Summary





1.
The 401 Patent Family – “Anti-Receptor Agents”





In general terms, the 401 family is directed to anti-receptor and growth blocking agents which antagonize or modulate the vitamin B12/transcobalamin II receptor or binding sites on the B12/TcII complex.  This results in the cellular depletion of vitamin B12, thus preventing or inhibiting cell division and ultimately resulting in cellular apoptosis.  Such agents can function (a) by preventing formation of the B12/TcII complex, (b) by binding to the B12/TcII complex and thus preventing binding of the complex to the B12/TcII receptor, or (c) by binding to the B12/TcII receptor and thus preventing uptake of the B12/TcII complex.  While the terms “anti-receptor agent” and “growth blocking agent” are defined as including proteins, peptides and small organic molecules, “preferred” agents are proteins and more specifically antibodies.





U.S. Patent No. 5,688,504 (the “ ‘504 patent”) issued from this family on November 18, 1997.  The issued claims of the ‘504 patent generally recite methods for inhibiting cell division, or preventing or inhibiting cellular uptake of vitamin B12, by administration to either a warm-blooded animal or target cell a monoclonal antibody capable of competitively antagonizing or modulating the B12/TcII receptor or binding site.  The independent claims of the ‘504 patent are as follows:





1.
A method for inhibiting cell division of a target cell in a warm-blooded animal, comprising administering to the animal a monoclonal anti-receptor antibody to a vitamin B12/transcobalamin II receptor on the surface of the target cell, said monoclonal antibody being capable of competitively antagonizing or modulating the receptor to prevent or inhibit cellular uptake of vitamin B12 by the target cell.





2.
A method for preventing or inhibiting cellular uptake of vitamin B12 in a warm-blooded animal, comprising administering to the animal monoclonal anti-receptor antibody to a vitamin B12/transcobalamin II receptor on the surface of the cell, said monoclonal antibody being capable of competitively antagonizing or modulating the receptor to prevent or inhibit the cellular uptake of vitamin B12.





16.
A method of inhibiting cell division in a warm blooded animal comprising administering to a warm blooded animal a therapeutically effective amount of a monoclonal anti-receptor antibody to a vitamin B12/transcobalamin II receptor on the surface of the cell, said monoclonal antibody being capable of competitively antagonizing or modulating the binding site to prevent or inhibit the uptake of vitamin B12 by TcII.





17.
A method of preventing or inhibiting cellular uptake of vitamin B12, comprising administering to an animal a therapeutically effective mount of a monoclonal anti-receptor antibody to a vitamin B12/transcobalamin II receptor on the surface of the cell, said monoclonal antibody being capable of competitively antagonizing or modulating the binding site to prevent or inhibit the uptake of vitamin B12 by TcII.

2.
The 402 Patent Family – “Receptor Modulating Agents”





In general terms, the 402 family is directed to vitamin B12 receptor modulating agents that are capable of binding to the vitamin B12 cell surface receptor to form receptor modulating agent/receptor complexes.  This binding results in invagination of the agent/receptor complex into the cell in the same manner as vitamin B12.  However, once internalized, or as part of the internalization process, the vitamin B12 receptor modulating agent affects the receptor trafficking pathway by effectively impeding, preventing or delaying the vitamin B12 receptor from recycling to the surface of the cell, thereby depriving the cell of vitamin B12 receptors able to engage in binding vitamin B12.  This results in the cellular depletion of vitamin B12, thus preventing or inhibiting cell division and ultimately resulting in cellular apoptosis.  A “receptor modulating agent” is generally defined as comprising at least one moiety capable of specifically binding to a cell surface receptor (a “targeting moiety”) covalently bound to at least one moiety capable of redirecting the agent/receptor complex, resulting in prolonged retention, degradation and/or modulation of the receptor within the interior of the cell (a “rerouting moiety”).  “Preferred” agents include vitamin B12 dimers and other complexes wherein a vitamin B12 molecule acts as a targeting moiety.

4.           The 420 Patent Family – “Transcobalamin Receptor Polypeptides, Nucleic Acids, and Modulators”





In general terms, the 420 family is based upon the cloning and characterization of the transcobalamin receptor (TCblR), and it is directed to methods of identifying a modulator of vitamin B12 cellular uptake and methods of using the modulator.  The use of TCblR inhibitors results in the cellular depletion of vitamin B12, thus preventing or inhibiting cell division and ultimately resulting in cellular apoptosis.  Therefore, vitamin B12 uptake modulators may be used for treating or preventing a tumor, a neurological disease, an immune-related disease, or inflammation.  A “TCblR modulator” is generally defined as a polynucleotide, polypeptide, antibody, or small molecule that specifically increases, reduces, or inhibits the receptor’s ability to bind vitamin B12 or mediate cellular uptake of vitamin B12.





A national stage application is currently pending before the U.S. Patent Office in the 420 family, but it has not yet begun examination.  The pending claims in this U.S. application generally recite a method of identifying a modulator of vitamin B12 cellular uptake, dsRNA for inhibiting vitamin B12 uptake, methods of modulating vitamin B12 uptake that utilize extracellular fragments of the TCblR, and a method of treating or preventing various diseases.  Corresponding foreign applications are pending in Europe, Canada, and Japan.
