`
`Il. MATERIALS CONSIDERED
`

`
`IV. Adenosine Monophosphateis an Angiogenic Factor
`
`
`12. Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP)is known to be an angiogenic
`
`factor. (Ex. 1014). The property of AMP as an angiogenic factoris inherent and
`
`would not have changed overtime. In other words, the inherent function of AMP
`
`as an angiogenicfactor has not changedsince 1998.
`
`Vv.
`
`Adenosine Metabolizes in the Epidermis
`
`13.
`
`It is my understanding that human skin includes manylayers,
`
`including an outer, epidermal layer, which covers multiple inner layers (including
`
`the dermal layer). (Ex. 1001, col. 1, Il. 20-25). The ‘327 patent describes the skin
`
`as having“a surface layer, knownas the epidermis, and a deeper connective tissue
`
`layer, known as the dermis.” (/d.)
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. S. Jamal Mustafa
`Regarding U.S. Patent No. 6,423,327
`
`14. Adenosine-metabolizing enzymes are ubiquitous and are found in
`
`every living cell, including cells in the epidermis. (Ex. 1015). Adenosine topically
`applied to the epidermis can be metabolized and degraded to its metabolites
`(inosine, hypoxanthine), or taken up in the epidermal cells and converted to AMP,
`ADT and ATPetc. (/d., also Ex. 1019). As such,it is my opinion that at least
`some of any concentration of adenosinethatis topically applied to the epidermis
`
`will be metabolized by epidermal cells and not reach the dermallayer.

`
`1980 to date: Presently working on defining the second messenger systems(cyclic nucleotides, G proteins,
`phospholipase C, protein kinase C and calcium)in the activation of vascular and endothelial adenosine receptors in
`coronary artery. Weare also studying the up and down regulation of the coronary adenosine receptor and the
`involvementof second messengersin this process. Weare trying to purify the Az adenosine receptor from vascular
`smooth muscle, sequenceit and ultimately clone it. We mighttry to get a cDNA forthis protein through the CDNA
`library, which codesfor an identical protein. We are also working with the human coronary tissue to identify the
`adenosine receptors and the second messengers in normal and diseased tissue.
`
`Further, I am also involved in the role of adenosine in asthma. Weare using anallergic rabbit and mouse
`models oflate phase asthmaforthis project. We have found that adenosine is without a response in normalrabbits
`but has a very severe bronchoconstriction in allergic rabbits. We haveidentified this receptor as Ai through binding
`and isolated muscle bath studies. A similar response was found in our mouse model. Weare using these models to
`test the effectiveness of anti-asthma drugs.
`
`Weare conducting a similar study in humans and I am working with a clinician to study the role of
`adenosine in asthma. We have challenged normalindividuals and asthma patients with adenosine and measured the
`chemotactic factors in the blood. We are collecting the bronchiolar lavagefluids for measuring the levels of
`adenosine to determineif there is a correlation between adenosineand the bronchial reactivity. We are doing these
`similar experimentsin allergic rabbits. Recently, we have developed a murine modelforallergic asthma for these
`studies due to the availability of genetically altered animals.
`
`1974-1980: During this period we have studied the role of nucleosides and prostaglandins in various low
`flow states with special emphasis to adenosine. We have studied the various metabolic factors involved in the
`regulation of blood flow to heart, brain and kidney and the effect of hypoxia (or varying oxygen tension) on the
`release of these vasoactive agents andthe relationship with each other. Further, we have studied the molecular
`mechanismsofvasodilatation such as the involvement ofa specific receptor for adenosinein the heart, brain and
`kidney. We haveused isolated cardiac muscle, vascular smooth muscle, Langendorfheart and isolatedcells for
`someofthese experiments in order to demonstrate the involvementofthese agents in the regulation of blood flow.
`The studies on the demonstration of adenosine receptor are donein intact coronary muscle preparation andisolated
`perfused hearts and include the binding studies. Further, we have also studied the calcium blocking effect of several
`vasodilators in relation to adenosine using intact dog modelandisolated tissue preparations.
`
`1971-1974: During this period, | worked as an NIH Postdoctoral Trainee with Dr. Robert M. Bernein the
`Departmentof Physiology, University of Virginia Medical School, Charlottesville, Virginia and was engagedin the
`field of cardiovascular physiology related to nucleotide metabolism. Part of this work was related to the membrane
`transport phenomenonon the adenosine hypothesis for the regulation of coronary blood flow. Humanred bloodcell

`
`ghosts were used as a modelfor transport studies for adenosine. These studies have also been donetaking
`embryonic heart cells at various ages of the chick embryo. The intracellular adenosine concentration,it’s
`deaminated and phosphorylated derivatives were detected. Cell culture, electron microscopy, dual wavelength
`spectrophotometry and chromatographic techniques were employed in studying adenosine metabolism.In addition,
`the effect of coronary dilators like dipyridamole and aminophylline on the metabolism of adenosine under normal
`and hypoxic conditions were studied in cultured cardiac cells.
`
`1970-1971: During this period, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. S. V. Chandraat the
`IndustrialToxicologyResearchCenter, Lucknow.This period was mainly devoted to the fundamental problemsof
`occupationaldiseases related to metal toxicity, which was mainly centered on manganesepoisoning. The disease,
`which occurs in the manganese miners,is primarily a neurological syndrome similar to Parkinson's disease. These
`studies included the extraction and estimation of neurotransmitter substances (dopamine and norepinephrine) and
`serotonin employing spectrophotofluorometric technique, metal estimation, enzymestudies, electrophoresis and
`CSFprotein and enzymestudies.
`
`1965-1969: This period allowed me to complete the research work for doctorate degree (Ph.D.)at the
`Departmentof Biochemistry, LucknowUniversity, Lucknow with Dr. C. P. Tewari. This included mainly
`biochemical studies related to nutrition, energy aspects of mitochondrial, neurochemistry, enzyme studies including
`purification and kinetic. More sophisticated techniques like immunochemistry; electrophoresis and
`ultra-centrifugation were applied to study the isoenzymes ofadenosine deaminase from the cytoplasmic and
`mitochondrial fractions of the mouse brain. In addition to this, detailed sub cellular studies for adenosine deaminase
`have been conducted with the brain, liver and spleen including various methodsfor solubilization of the
`mitochondrial enzymes.
`
`Somework related to ammonia production in kidney has been done whichis not included in Ph.D.thesis.
`This paper emphasizesthat the guanine and adenosine deaminases of kidney are indirectly involved and play a
`contributory role in acid-base regulation by ammonia metabolism.
