What is “US6596746 example 455,” and how does it relate to dasatinib?
I can’t determine the exact meaning of “US6596746 example 455” from the information provided. “US6596746” looks like a U.S. patent number, and “example 455” suggests a specific numbered example inside that patent’s specification. But without the patent’s title (or the text of Example 455), I can’t reliably say what the example describes or how it connects to dasatinib.
If you paste the text of “Example 455” (or share the patent title and the relevant excerpt), I can:
- identify what compound or step the example describes,
- explain how it maps to dasatinib (e.g., name/structure/chemical family, preparation steps, or salt forms),
- summarize the practical takeaway (what the example demonstrates in the patent).
Is US6596746 an actual dasatinib patent?
Dasatinib is a branded kinase inhibitor (Sprycel) and its core invention is associated with patents filed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and related parties, but I can’t confirm whether US6596746 specifically covers dasatinib without checking the patent’s bibliographic data (title/assignee) and the example content.
How can you verify the connection yourself (fast)?
To confirm whether Example 455 is about dasatinib, you can look for any of these within the patent text for that example:
- the chemical name “dasatinib” (or synonyms)
- the dasatinib core structure features (often described by substituents)
- tables listing “Compound 455” with an IUPAC name or structural description
- reaction schemes that produce the same final scaffold as dasatinib
- mention of salt forms known for dasatinib (e.g., specific counterions) if the example targets a formulation/salt
What should you send me so I can answer precisely?
Please provide one of the following:
- the patent title plus assignee for US6596746, and either a screenshot or pasted text of “Example 455,” or
- the “Compound 455” name/ID and the surrounding description, or
- a link to the patent page you’re using.
Once I have that, I can tell you exactly what Example 455 covers and whether it corresponds to dasatinib (and how).
