Venus remedies receives US patent protection for Potentox

26 Jul 2012 Evaluate

Venus Remedies, a research based global pharmaceutical company, has secured its third US patent for its another novel antibiotic product -- POTENTOX. Granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the patent protects the composition of POTENTOX and the method of treatment.

The patent provides an exclusivity period for POTENTOX until May, 2027. In addition to this new patent grant, POTENTOX is protected by a number of other patents from across the Globe including India, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, South Africa and Ukraine. Potentox is an antibiotic adjuvant entity (AAE); a new drug product effective in case of Hospital Acquired Pneumoniae and Febrile Neutropenia infections, Quinolones or Aminoglycoside resistant cases.

Infections caused by resistant microorganisms often fail to respond to conventional treatment, resulting in prolonged illness and greater risk of death. Getting a patent grant for POTENTOX from US at such point in time can prove to be all the more significant for society at large as the drug works synergistically on Multi-drug resistant bacteria that not only halts the development of bacterial resistance but also its spread.

The company has already been marketing POTENTOX successfully in India and few of the emerging markets around the globe. The product is growing with a CAGR of 50% since past 3 years and now Venus is planning to have a pre IND meeting with US FDA for fast track approval of this product. The company is also open for the strategic tie-ups with the international pharma companies.
