Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention lies in the field of regulation of carbon flow in the metabolism of the cell. It has been found that induction of a change in the intracellular availability of the saccharide trehalose-6-phosphate (T-6-P) induces modifications of the development and/or composition of cells tissue and , organs in vivo. These changes can be induced by inhibiting the endogenous enzyme trehalase which is capable of hydrolysing trehalose into two glucose moieties.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 4, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 4, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 4, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
