This research plans to explore the risks of the investment claims involved in the ongoing technology transfers to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers based on the recently approved 'Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights' (TRIPS) waiver. These investment claims are based on the various intellectual property rights protected under international investment laws. The recently approved TRIPS waiver only deals with the patent rights involved in producing the COVID-19 vaccine but does not deal with the other related intellectual property rights such as trade secrets. This work sounds the alarm of investment dispute for the mass-production of vaccines based on the TRIPS waiver. The research suggests a plan by which the Indian government can address the global issue of COVID-19 technology transfer in India.

Nanotheranostics is a young but rapidly expanding science that incorporates elements of therapy and diagnostics in a unique and miniscule area of research. The potential to combine diagnostic and therapeutic abilities inside a complete unit opens up interesting possibilities for innovative biomedical research. Silver-based nanoparticles, for instance, are widely utilized as pharmacological and biomedical imaging molecules, and hence offer a lot of potential for the development of versatile targeted therapy compositions. These nanoparticles have been used for cancer diagnosis and cancer treatments recently. We evaluate major innovations based on silver nanotheranostics technologies in this review paper, with an emphasis on cancer treatment implications. The present review covers papers, from 2010 to 2020.

Bacterial infections are increasingly epitomizing major global health concerns, with rising death rates. Since the most complete assessment of the worldwide impact of antimicrobial resistance to date, with over 1.2 million people dead in 2019 as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The majority of antimicrobial drugs have been associated with a multitude of adverse effects including financial costs as well. Pyrrolidine derivatives have sparked the interest of researchers to create novel synthetic molecules with minimal side effect and drawbacks. To close the research gap, the current review discusses the synthetic compounds with active pyrrolidine scaffolds, critical findings and most crucially the structure-activity relationship that affects the activity of the ring over the last one and half decade.

Aim: To overcome the limitations associated with conventional formulations for cancer treatment by the effective utilization of nanoemulsion with therapy and diagnosis through the single unit. Patent: US20210275687 describes the usage of functionalized various oil-in-water nanoemulsions as pharmacological vehicles with theranostic potential in cancer treatment. Materials & methods: Vitamin E, oleic acid, sphingomyelin, ligands for functionalization, contrast agents and therapeutic biomolecules. Results: The toxicity studies conducted on healthy mice did not show any apparent toxicity issues. The stability studies conducted at 40 °C and 75% relative humidity, which is mandatory for regulatory approval, indicated the adequate physical stability of the formulation. Conclusion: The studies exhibited the promising theranostic potential of the developed nanoemulsion for the effective management and diagnosis of cancer and metastatic diseases.

Co-crystallization is a technique for modifying physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical ingredients with an aim to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and subsequent reduction in toxicity. The patent describes the development of oxaliplatin co-crystals using flavonoids (baicalein and naringenin) via solvent volatilization technique with an objective to improve solubility and stability in GI tract and reduced side/toxic effects. The co-crystals were characterized via differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis. The co-crystals exhibited slow drug release, delayed hydrolysis, low cytotoxicity and enhanced therapeutic activity on human gastric adenocarcinoma cells. However, suitable solvent for co-crystal production, large scale production and regulatory challenges for continuous manufacturing of co-crystals must be addressed.

A snapshot of noteworthy recent developments in the patent literature of relevance to pharmaceutical and medical research and development.

A challenge in anticipating generic entry is elucidating which patents and regulatory protections constrain generic entry. Presented here is a set of estimated loss of exclusivity dates for six drugs, from May through June 2022. These estimated drug patent expiration dates and generic entry opportunity dates are calculated from analysis of known patents and US regulatory protections covering drugs [1]. This methodology can be extended to ex-US jurisdictions by leveraging these estimates and tracking patent family members in other patent offices.
