The product is the proprietary compound known as ORI-9020.  ORI-9020 means ORI-9020 and its analogs, the chemical composition of which are described in the patent and any prodrug, metabolite, analog, salt, hydrate, solvate, polymorph, chimeric or inverted chimeric or isomer of ORI-9020.

The initial compound means the compound ICA-17043 having the molecular structure set forth and any hydrates, anhydrides, solvates, salts, esters, isomers, prodrugs, metabolites or polymorphs thereof.

The Product means a pharmaceutical product that contains, incorporates or is comprised of the Compound, whether in development or approved by any Regulatory Authority, including all formulations, line extensions and modes of administration thereof.

The Licensor Patents means all Patents, other than CMCC Patents, Controlled by Licensor as of the Effective Date or during the Term, that, absent rights thereunder, would be infringed by the Development, Manufacture, formulation, use, distribution, importation, sale, or offer for sale of Compound or Product, including without limitation any such Patents claiming the composition of matter or the use of Compound or Product or any Improvements thereto.

Licensors know-how means all Information, except for CMCC Know-How, that Licensor Controls as of the Effective Date or during the Term.

Compound shall mean the chemical compounds known as (3R, 4R) Delta 6-Tetrahydrocannabinol -7-oic Acids, including the compound designated CT-3, and any other compounds disclosed or covered in the Patent Assets and any derivative, homo log, or analog of any of the foregoing, and any isomer, salt, hydrate, solvate, amide, ester, metabolite, or prodrug of any of the foregoing.

CT-3, a new chemical entity also known as ajulemic acid, is a non-psychoactive synthetic derivative of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Licensor possesses significant expertise in the field of antiinflammatory therapeutics, and dersalazine represents the culmination of years of internal research.

Dersalazine is a new chemical entity that combines a well-known anti-inflammatory agent, 5-ASA, with a novel potent agent that acts as a PAF antagonist and an inhibitor of key interleukin cytokines to achieve a synergistic therapeutic effect when compared to the activities of each component separately. Chemical cleavage of dersalazine by colonic bacteria releases the two active compounds for the topical treatment of inflammation in the colon. The 5-ASA molecule contained in dersalazine has known antioxidant properties which may ameliorate the deleterious inflammatory effects ascribed to the overproduction of free radicals.

GEMS (Gene Expression Modulation by Small-Molecules) is a novel drug discovery platform technology which enables identification of compounds that target the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.

GEMS-UTR (Gene Expression Modulation by Small-Molecules Untranslated Region) is a proprietary screening technology for the identification of small molecules that modulate gene expression by targeting the post-transcriptional control processes that act through the UTRs of mRNA molecules.

The Licensed Product shall mean any Product which incorporates a Collaboration Compound as an active ingredient.  The Collaboration Compound shall mean, on a Target-specific basis, a chemical compound that is synthesized or identified by the Parties, and any metabolites, prodrugs, solvates, including without limitation hydrates, analogs, esters, salts, derivatives, stereoisomers, racemates, tautomers and polymorphs of such chemical compound which are determined to be Active. Collaboration Compound shall include any of a Hit, a Research Compound, a Lead Compound or an IND Candidate.

This agreement pertains to drug discovery.

Licensee shall have a non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to use the Licensor Trademarks solely for market research and other similar activities to determine whether Licensee will use the Licensor Trademarks or Licensee Trademarks in connection with the commercialization and promotion of the Product in the Field in the Territory.

The Compound shall mean that certain compound, referred to internally at Licensor as XP13512, and all esters, hydrates, metabolites [(excluding gabapentin), polymorphs, prodrugs of gabapentin], salts, solvates, isomers and/or mixtures of isomers thereof.

The patents are for the Compound Family,  Analog Prodrug Sustained Release Oral Dosage Form Families, Crystalline Form Family, Convergent Synthesis Family, Alternative Synthesis Method Families,  Therapeutic Use to treat RLS Family, Therapeutic Use to treat Hot Flashes Family,  Therapeutic Use to treat Incontinence Family,  Therapeutic Use to treat Premature Ejaculation Family,  Therapeutic Use to treat Vulvodynia Family,  Therapeutic Use to treat Tinnitus Family,  and,  Topical Composition/Use to treat Local Pain Family.

XP13512 is a patented, new chemical entity that is designed to improve upon the clinical utility of gabapentin by taking advantage of high-capacity transport mechanisms in the gut to improve absorption.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, usually because of an uncomfortable sensation. It typically happens in the evening or nighttime hours when you're sitting or lying down. Moving eases the unpleasant feeling temporarily.
