What is cobimetinib’s chemical structure (and what does it look like)?
Cobimetinib is a small-molecule inhibitor of MEK (a kinase in the MAPK signaling pathway). Structurally, MEK inhibitors like cobimetinib are typically built around a substituted aromatic core with multiple ring systems and heteroatoms, plus functional groups that enable binding to the MEK active site.
However, you asked specifically for “Cobimetinib structure us7803839b2.” The material needed to answer that precisely is the actual patent document (US 7,803,839 B2) and its structure claims/figures, because different patents can include different representations (e.g., free base vs. salt forms, specific examples, stereochemistry, or closely related analogs).
How do I get the exact structure shown in US 7,803,839 B2?
To provide the exact cobimetinib structure from US7803839B2, I need one of the following from you:
- the patent number confirmation (US 7,803,839 B2) plus a link or the patent title, or
- the specific example number / compound number in that patent (the “structure” may appear as Example X, compound Y), or
- an image/snippet of the patent’s chemical structure figure.
Once you share that, I can extract and describe the exact structural features from the patent’s depiction (including ring system connectivity, substituents, and stereochemistry if present).
Is this patent the one that covers cobimetinib specifically?
This matters because “US7803839B2” may cover cobimetinib itself, or it may cover related MEK inhibitor compounds that include cobimetinib as one example (or not at all). Patent-to-drug mapping usually requires checking:
- the assignee(s),
- the compound examples listed,
- whether cobimetinib’s exact name/INN appears,
- and whether the chemical name/structure matches cobimetinib’s known scaffold.
If you want, tell me whether you’re trying to confirm:
- “Is cobimetinib included as an example in US7803839B2?”
- “What exact structure does that patent claim for cobimetinib?”
- or “What does the patent say about salts/polymorphs/forms?”
