This paper aims to contribute to the identification of the status of the smallpox vaccine patents now applied for Mpox. We retrieved ten vaccines, but only a few had a patent portfolio and one under patent litigation processes in three continents. Also, no specific Mpox vaccine was retrieved and, in this sense, technological monitoring studies should be performed to provide a future vision regarding Mpox prophylaxis.</p>","PeriodicalId":20011,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical patent analyst","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10159780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical trials revealed that 6 months treatment using riluzole or troriluzole is associated with a slower decline in the tomographic measures of the positron emissions of cerebral glucose metabolism in Alzheimer's patients.
