`Yalkowsky Concerns Estimating Ideal Solubility Of
`Rigid Molecules And Their Long-Chain Derivatives
`Paper 27 at 17-18
`
`Yalkowsky (Abstract):
`“The entropy of fusion of many drugs and molecules of intermediate
`size can be estimated in the following manner: (1) for rigid molecules,
`ΔSf ≃ 13.5 eu; (2) for long chain derivatives of such molecules, ΔSf ≃
`13.5 eu [+] 2.5(n – 5) eu, where n is the number of flexible links in the
`chain. In most cases, these simple rules will provide an estimate of
`ΔSf which is sufficiently accurate to obtain reasonable estimates of
`ideal solubility.”

`

`Rapamycin In Water Is Not An Ideal Solution
`
`Paper 27 at 17-19
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. So a solution of rapamycin in water would not be an ideal
`solution?
`“A. Correct.”
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. Do you agree that the Yalkowsky 1979 reference never
`expressly discusses water solubility?
`“A. That’s correct.”
`
`Ex. 2091 at 23:2-4, 47:24-48:3; see also Ex. 2092 ¶¶ 81-86
`

`
`

`

`Yalkowsky Is Not Analogous Art
`
`Paper 27 at 17-19
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“A medicinal chemist wouldn’t know these entropy of fusion
`equations. They wouldn’t know the article. They would
`understand the concept of Figure 2, but this is not an article --
`Industrial Engineering Chemistry Fundamentals -- that a
`medicinal chemist would have, you know, looked at.”
`
`Ex. 2091 at 45:11-24; see also Ex. 2092 ¶¶ 76-79, 81-86
`

`
`

`

`Changes In Enthalpy Are Not Reasonably Predictable
`
`Paper 27 at 25
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“The problem in computing solubility is there’s both an
`enthalpy and an entropy part. And the enthalpy part isn’t
`easily predictable.”
`
`Ex. 2091 at 43:18-25; see also Ex. 2092 ¶¶ 117-118
`
`10
`
`

`

`Yalkowsky Does Not Discuss Enthalpy
`
`Paper 27 at 17-18, 25; Paper 55 at 2-3
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. So Yalkowsky 1979 is not stating that entropy of fusion can
`be used to predict water solubility?
`“A. Yalkowsky -- that is correct. . . . This is only addressing
`the entropy change here. And that’s all I was addressing on
`the flexible side chain issue. So it’s a component of predicting it.
`“Q. But it’s not sufficient?
`“A. It’s not the whole ballgame.”
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. Does Yalkowsky discuss the impact of adding flexible
`groups on enthalpy?
`“A. Enthalpy, no. . . . Yalkowsky focused here on entropy
`issues.”

`

`A Chemical Modification May Increase
`Entropy But Decrease Water Solubility
`Paper 27 at 17-18, 25-26; Paper 55 at 1-2
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. . . . Is it possible to have an increase in entropy and a
`decrease in water solubility . . . [a]s a consequence of making
`a given chemical modification?
`“A. I said any combination is possible. So you can have an
`increase in entropy and a decrease or an increase in enthalpy
`and vice versa. So they’re not directly coupled. So any
`combination of signs with delta H and delta S are possible.”
`
`Ex. 2222 at 121:22-122:10; see also Ex. 2092 ¶ 117
`

`
`

`

`A Chemical Modification May Increase
`Entropy But Decrease Water Solubility
`Paper 27 at 17-18, 25-26
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. Would one of ordinary skill have understood, based on
`Yalkowsky, that the more rotatable bonds you add, the greater
`the increase in water solubility?
`“A. That statement, as made by you, would be incorrect. . . .
`So it isn’t sufficient to just add rotatable bonds. If it were,
`then you could just add alkyl groups and solubility would
`increase, and that’s not the case. . . .”

`Yalkowsky 1972 Shows That Water Solubility
`May Decrease With An Increase In Entropy

`

`

`Petitioners’ Argument Relies On Yalkowsky’s
`Equation 6 To Predict Solubility Changes
`Paper 27 at 20-21
`
`Petition:
`“Yalkowsky teaches that each added rotatable bond is worth
`approximately 2.5 eu (cal/mol-K), which translates to a favorable
`contribution of (298 x 2.5 x 0.001) = 0.745 kcal/mol to the free
`energy of fusion. Based on fundamental thermodynamics of
`equilibrium (ΔG = -2.3RT log K), each 1.3 kcal/mol provides a
`factor of 10 change in an equilibrium process such as solubility.”
`
`Yalkowsky’s Equation 6: “ΔSf = 13.5 + 2.5(n – 5) eu”
`
`Paper 2 at 33; Ex. 1007 at 111; see also Ex. 2092 ¶ 97; Ex. 1003 ¶ 79
`
`15
`
`

`

`Yalkowsky Defines Long Chains As n > 5
`
`Paper 27 at 20-22
`
`Yalkowsky:
`“This is in agreement with our observation that short chains
`(n ≤ 5), which are configurationally constrained by the rigid
`portion of the molecule, do not contribute appreciably to
`ΔSint. . . . For longer chains we can estimate the contribution to
`internal entropy by adding 2.5 (n – 5) eu, where n is the total
`number of chain atoms (exclusive of protons).”

`Ex. 1007 at 111; see also Ex. 2092 ¶¶ 96-97

`
`

`

`Yalkowsky’s Figure 2 Only
`Applies To Long-Chain Derivatives
`Paper 27 at 23-25
`
`Yalkowsky:
`“For purposes of visualization, the melting process can be
`divided into four independent subprocesses: . . . (4) internal—
`the change from the uniform conformation of such molecules in
`the liquid. (This process is not applicable to rigid molecules and
`thus to most drugs. It does become important, however, for
`long-chain molecules.) . . . The first three process are
`illustrated schematically in Figure 1 and the fourth in Figure 2.”
`
`Ex. 1007 at 109; see also Ex. 2092 ¶¶ 114-115
`

`
`

`

`Everolimus Is Not A Long-Chain
`Derivative Of Rapamycin
`Paper 27 at 20-23
`
`Dr. Klibanov:
`
`
`
`
`“Because this C40 substituent has only four chain atoms (two
`carbons and two oxygens) exclusive of protons (i.e., n is ‘less
`than five’), it does not constitute a ‘long chain’ under
`Yalkowsky’s definition.”
`
`Ex. 2092 ¶¶ 97-99
`
`18
`
`

`

`Dr. Jorgensen Refused To Provide
`An n Value For Yalkowsky’s Equation 6
`Paper 27 at 22 & n.4
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. If one of ordinary skill wanted to apply Yalkowsky 1979’s
`Equation 6 to everolimus, what N value would he or she use?
`“A. First of all, a person of ordinary skill wouldn’t be
`applying Equation 6. What they would be applying is the
`concept, so they just wouldn’t be thinking that way. So I’m not
`going to conjecture on what a person of ordinary skill
`would be doing with Equation 6, because they wouldn’t be
`interested in the details of Equation 6.”

`

`Stella Discloses Rapamycin Prodrugs That
`Were More Water Soluble Than Rapamycin
`Paper 27 at 39-40
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. [Stella’s] water soluble prodrugs had significantly higher
`water solubility than rapamycin did?
`“A. Yes.”
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. [The water solubility of the compound of Stella, Example 3
`is] significantly more water soluble than rapamycin?
`“A. Yes. More than a thousand fold.”

`

`Lemke Teaches That Salts Can
`Greatly Increase Water Solubility
`Paper 27 at 13, 54
`
`Lemke:
`“In many instances the carboxylic acid or amine functional
`group is added to organic molecules with the specific purpose
`of promoting water solubility . . . .”
`
`Lemke:
`“[Amine and carboxylic acid] groups have a potentiating
`effect on solubility, both groups can form salts that, if capable of
`dissociation, will greatly increase water solubility.”

`changes in C40 and maintained the immunosuppressive
`activity.”

`Petitioners Have Not Met Their
`Burden For Selecting A Lead Compound
`Paper 27 at 47-48
`
`“In [chemical compound] cases our analysis focuses on those
`proposed lead compounds that the alleged infringer has
`attempted to prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that the
`skilled artisan would have had a reason to select from the
`panoply of known compounds in the prior art.”

`
`

`

`Rapamycin’s Water Solubility Was
`Sufficient For Use As An Immunosuppressant
`Paper 27 at 51
`
`Dr. Partridge:
`“Q. . . . You would agree that as of October 1992, rapamycin
`was sufficiently water soluble to be used as an
`immunosuppressant drug; is that correct?
`“A. It was apparently water soluble, but it was water soluble
`enough, yes.”
`
`Ex. 2107 at 228:24-229:11; see also Ex. 2092 ¶ 151
`
`25
`
`

`

`There Was No Reasonable Expectation Of
`Retaining Rapamycin’s Immunosuppressive Activity
`Paper 27 at 44-45
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“It’s not clear what’s going to happen with the efficacy when you
`make changes. . . . So there would be probably concern about
`the efficacy going down for any kind of change to the structure
`of rapamycin.”
`
`Dr. Jorgensen:
`“Q. What skin graft assay result would one of ordinary skill in the
`art have expected to maintain with everolimus?
`“A. . . . So what would happen with everolimus would be
`unclear. . . .”

`

`
`

`

`There Was No Reasonable Expectation Of Increasing
`Rapamycin’s Bioavailability By Increasing Water Solubility
`Paper 27 at 51-52
`
`Morris:
`“The lower oral bioavailability of RPM [rapamycin]
`administered PO could be caused by degradation of the RPM
`before absorption, poor absorption, or a significant first-pass
`effect leading to efficient conversion of RPM by the liver into
`metabolites . . . .”

`

`There Was No Reasonable Expectation Of
`Obtaining Everolimus’s Anti-Tumor Activity
`Paper 27 at 59-60; Paper 56 at 1
`
`Dr. Ratain (District Court Litigation):
`“Q. Okay. And so if you don’t know where the pharmacophore
`[for anti-tumor activity] is, you can’t form a reasonable
`expectation of similar activity and similar toxicity related to the
`mechanism?
`“A. That’s right.”
`
`Dr. Ratain (Inter Partes Review):
`“[M]y opinions relate only to secondary considerations.”

`

`Hughes Does Not Provide A Reasonable Expectation
`Of Success Of Retaining Immunosuppressive Activity
`Paper 27 at 43-44
`
`Hughes:
`“The results of the LAF standard pharmacological test procedure
`demonstrates that the compound of Example 2 suppressed T-cell
`proliferation, and is therefore useful as an immunosuppressive
`agent. Based on the results of the in vitro and in vivo standard
`pharmacological test procedures, it was unclear whether the
`compound of Example 1 had immunosuppressive activity.”

`

`Hughes Does Not Provide A Reasonable Expectation
`Of Success Of Treating Transplant Rejection
`Paper 27 at 43, 69-70
`
`Hughes Patent Examiner:
`“[O]ne of ordinary skill in the art would see that 6.5 ± 0.5 [i.e.,
`the skin graft value for the untreated control] falls within the
`error range of 7.5 ± 1.2 [i.e., the skin graft value for the
`compound of Example 1] thus are not different.”

`

`Hughes Does Not Provide A Reasonable Expectation
`Of Success Of Treating Transplant Rejection
`Paper 27 at 43, 69-70
`
`Hughes Patent Examiner:
`“These data of the new compounds are in line with the normal
`rejection time, being less than Rapamycin, are insufficient
`evidence that these compounds will provide the ‘treatment’
`of transplant rejection in currently available form.”
`
`Hughes Cancelled Application Claim 5:

`disease, autoimmune disease, and diseases of inflammation in
`a mammal by administering an effective amount of a compound
`having the [claimed structure].”
