Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Methods are proposed for the design and synthesis of a molecule which mimics the activity of a parent molecule. In particular the methods relate to computationally identifying chemical groups of a parent molecule for inclusion in a mimetic, designing a mimetic taking into account the folding structure of the parent, designing a mimetic using a relative geometrical relationship of chemical groups in the parent molecule designing a mimetic using a molecular dynamics simulation of the mimetic, and screening potential mimetics using molecular dynamics simulation.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 2, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 2, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 2, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
