Dupont and ImaRx patent lawsuit against MolByos and Malllindckrodt.

Check on prnewswire May 4.

Fight is about US patent 5,547,656 relating low density gas filled microspheres Dupont/ImaRX(perflutren = Definity TM), pending FDA approval.

Sonus has EchoGen (dodecafluoropentane) pending FDA approval.

Echovist and Levovist (galactose based)from Schering apparently are poor contrast agents.

Albunex from Malindcrodt is apparently a poor agent. But they also have Optisom (perfluropropane).

Sonovue from Braco a poor agent (sulfur hexafluorine gas).

Iodapamide ethyl ester, company?

NC100100 from Nycomed is also in the race.

I used the printed version.

It seems to be a tough field. Allp at least has other applications in phase III. Schering seems to be with ALLP because their own product is not so efficient.
