What does US 7,803,839 B2 have to do with cobimetinib?
US 7,803,839 B2 is a patent that includes example chemical compounds and corresponding experimental details. Cobimetinib is a MEK inhibitor, so users typically search this patent number to find whether cobimetinib (or a close structural analog) appears in the patent’s “Examples” section, and what data is shown for it.
How to find the “cobimetinib example” inside US7803839B2
To locate the specific example tied to cobimetinib in US 7,803,839 B2, the fastest path is:
1. Open the patent record for US 7,803,839 B2 (USPTO or Google Patents).
2. Search within the full text for “cobimetinib”.
3. If “cobimetinib” is not named explicitly, search for common alternate identifiers used in patents, such as:
- “Example” (and then scan for the compound name/structure in the example tables)
- the compound’s code name if present (patents often use internal numbering)
- SMILES/InChI fragments if the patent provides them
4. Confirm the match by comparing the chemical structure description (or substituents in the example) to cobimetinib’s known structure.
Why “example” may not match the drug name exactly
Patents often do not list the final drug brand name. They may refer to:
- a generic chemical name,
- a designated example compound number (Example 1, Example 2, etc.),
- or an intermediate that later becomes the drug.
So a search for “cobimetinib” might return no direct hit even when cobimetinib’s structure is present in an example compound.
