Clinical Medicinal Chemistry Expert for Gastric Acid Drug

A clinical medicinal chemistry expert was requested for a patent infringement case involving a product used to inhibit gastric acid secretion. The patent in question addressed the use of certain compounds, including pantoprazole sodium, a key ingredient in the defendant's competing drug compound.

IMS ExpertServices™ was asked to provide a clinical medicinal chemistry expert with a background in medicinal research. The client requested an expert with the specific experience of having worked extensively with the standards of using pylorus ligated rat tests or Shay rat tests. The litigation consultant was required to review the clinical drug evaluation provided in the ANDA, or abbreviated new drug application, filed with the FDA for approval in order to determine patent infringement.
