Office Action

§102 §103 §112
DETAILED ACTION Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA . Election/Restrictions Applicant’s response to the restriction/ election requirement from 5/22/2028 is acknowledged. Applicant has elected without traverse the invention of Group I, claims 1-5, and as species, chemical formula 9b of claim 5. On further consideration of the art, the election of species requirement is hereby withdrawn. The restriction/ election requirement is hereby MADE FINAL. Claims 1-5 are pending, and have been examined herewith across their breadth. Claim Objections Claims 1-5 are objected to because of the following informalities. The claims lack proper punctuation, i.e. they lack commas before “or a/ the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.” There are further inconsistent claim terms, e.g. “carboxyl” in claim 1, and “carboxy” in claim 3. Appropriate correction is required. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b): (b) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention. The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph: The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention. Claim 3 recites the limitation "cyclopropylethynyl" in line 5. There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. Claim 5 recites compounds 1-13, in which R2 is H. There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. In the interest of compact prosecution, the Examiner interprets claim 5 as an independent claim. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action: A person shall be entitled to a patent unless – (a)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. (a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention. Claim 5 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Bobek et al., Synthesis and biological activity of 4'-thio analogs of the antibiotic toyocamycin, J Med Chem, 1972 Feb;15(2):168-71 (“Bobek”, of record). Bobek relates to synthesis and biological activity of 4'-thio analogs of the antibiotic toyocamycin. See, e.g., structure II. PNG media_image1.png 250 206 media_image1.png Greyscale Claim 5 discloses, inter alia, Applicant’s structure 5, which overlaps with it. PNG media_image2.png 232 190 media_image2.png Greyscale Claim 5 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Kozlov et al., Evaluation of separation properties of stationary phases in supercritical fluid chromatography; deazapurine nucleosides case study, Microchemical Journal, 150 (2019) 104137 (“Kozlov”) Kozlov discloses 7-deazapurine nucleosides, according to Applicant’s claims 1-4 (see, e.g. compounds 10-12). PNG media_image3.png 248 372 media_image3.png Greyscale It also discloses compounds according to Applicant’s claim 5, e.g. compound 2b (see, e.g., compound 4). PNG media_image4.png 208 142 media_image4.png Greyscale Claims 1-4 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) and 102(a)(2) as being anticipated by WO 2017024310 A1 to Townsend et al. (“Townsend”). Townsend relates to synthesis of pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides and analogs and phospholipid conjugates thereof for use as antiviral agents. (Title), It discloses the following compounds: PNG media_image5.png 256 582 media_image5.png Greyscale (p. 87). PNG media_image6.png 248 590 media_image6.png Greyscale (p. 109). Claims 1-4 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Naus et al., Synthesis, Cytostatic, Antimicrobial, and Anti-HCV Activity of 6‑Substituted 7‑(Het)aryl-7-deazapurine Ribonucleosides, J. Med. Chem. (2014) 57 (3): 1097–1110 (“Naus”). Naus discloses a series of 80 7-(het)aryl- and 7-ethynyl-7-deazapurine ribonucleosides bearing a methoxy, methylsulfanyl, methylamino, dimethylamino, methyl, or oxo group at position 6, or 2,6-disubstituted derivatives bearing a methyl or amino group at position 2.

Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made. Claims 1-4 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kalikova et al., Chromatographic behavior of new deazapurine ribonucleosides in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, Electrophoresis, Volume39, Issue16, August 2018, Pages 2144-2151 (“Kalikova”, of record). Kalikova discloses new deazapurine ribonucleosides. PNG media_image15.png 824 488 media_image15.png Greyscale It is noted that compounds PNH590, PNH591 and PNH592 have structures akin to Formula I, except that in Formula I R is a C6-C10 aryl, and not a heteroaryl. Kalikova, however, renders such structures obvious, as it shows that in structures AB38t, AB47, and AB62 suitable alternatives for R also include phenyl and naphthalenyl rings. Accordingly, it would have been obvious to a person of skill in the art before the effective filing date of Applicant’s claimed invention to modify compounds PNH590, PNH591 and PNH592 with aryl rings, based on the disclosure of Kalikova alone. Motivation to do so is since Kalikova discloses a number of alternative structures, and among them alternatives include compounds AB38t, AB47, and AB62, wherein R is disclosed to be with aryl rings, e.g. phenyl and naphthalenyl. Other relevant art The Examiner also notes for the record the following relevant art over which no rejections were made solely in view of its cumulative nature.
