Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois A Fortune 100 healthcare company Senior Group Leader & Fellow Cancer Research Led 9-13 junior and senior chemists conducting chemistry research. Made go or no-go decision in Hedgehog project in less than 6 months by synthesizing competitor’s compounds and critically examining biological data. Identified three novel and new chemical series in the Chk1 project by dividing chemistry group into three sub-groups. Selected a pre-clinical candidate that has better biological profile than Pfizer’s Chk1 inhibitor from these three series. Identified two other back-up candidates for potential clinical studies in the future. Identify a potent and novel farnesyl transferase inhibitor, ABT-100, as clinical candidate within 1.5 years after switching to cancer research area from neuroscience by inventing a novel chemical skeleton that possesses high FT enzymatic selectivity. Associate Research Fellow Neuroscience Research, Abbott Laboratories 1995-1999 Principal inventor for ABT-089, ABT-594 and ABT-259 by identifying heterocyclic pyridyl ethers series, which is the basic chemical skeleton of these clinical candidates. Primary inventor of ABT-089 that was approved for development as cognition enhancer (6/95) as well as treatment for ADHD patients in 2002 by designed and synthesizing ABT-089. Developed the process chemistry for preparation of ABT-089 in pilot plant within three month time to speed up the clinical trial. Responsible for identification of ABT-594 (approved for development as treatment for acute and chronic pain, 12/96) and ABT-259, a second generation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators by conducting thorough SAR studies and discovering the key piece in both ABT-549 and ABT-259. Research Investigator Neuroscience Research, Abbott laboratories 1999 -2007 Dec. 1990 to 1995 Authored numerous patent applications and received several patents related to novel nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. Made significant contributions to the identification of ABT-418 in a short period of time (approved for development as cognition enhancer, 8/93). Responsible for development of process chemistry procedures for preparation of ABT-418 in large quantities. Reduced the production cost dramatically and made it economically cheaper than nicotine. Received several patents for this chemistry process. Bayer USA (formally Miles Laboratories), Inc. Elkhart, Indiana. A Fortune 100 company 2 1986 to 1990 Senior Research Scientist Diagnostic Division Identified three tetrazonium salts that possess the desired wavelengths and extinction coefficients for diagnostic division at Bayer USA in timely fashion by designing and synthesizing special dyes that have broad wavelength. Due to their superior properties, they were produced commercially in large quantities and applied to the preparation of glucometer testing strips. Education Postdoctoral, University of California, Irvine Total synthesis of pumiliotoxin A under Professor Larry Overman’s supervision Ph.D., Indiana University, Bloomington Under the supervision of Professor Paul Grieco: Synthesis of natural products such as prostaglandin, sixteen membered-ring macrolide-tylonolide. M. S., National Taiwan University Under the supervision of Prof. Yao-Tung Lin: Isolation and identification of several new terpenes from barks of hardwoods. B. S., National Chung-Hsing University ACCOMPLISHMENT SUMMARY Identified the following four clinical candidates. The detailed description of the discovery process is indicated below: ABT-418 ABT-418 is a cholihergic channel activator that was identified in 1991 and approved for development as cognition enhancer, in August 1993. This compound has reduced side-effect liabilities compared to the (-)nicotine. In addition, it elicits a variety of behavior effects including cognitive-enhancing and anxiolytic-like activity, in preclinical model. Made significant contributions to the identification of ABT-418 as evident in the papers that were published during the period of 1994-1995. Responsible for development of process chemistry procedures for large scale preparation of ABT-418, accelerating the clinical development tremendously due to the easy synthesis and low cost arising from this process. The chemistry provides the final product cost which is lower than nicotine itself. ABT-089 ABT-089 is an orally bioavailable back-up candidate for ABT-418. It possesses the core NCCX framework in the structure. Based on the structure of MCC, developed this series of compound in 1991. The first lead (17 nM) was identified in January 1992. A further improvement (0.2 nM) was achieved by my associate a few months later. The first paper in this series was published in 1996 (see attachment). After identification of this series, kept the pyrrolidine moeity constant and started the modification on the pyridine ring because the parent compound did show cardiovascular liabilities. The SAR studies were published in 1999. Identified ABT-089 as an orally bioavailable cholinergic channel modulator. This compound was approved for the development as cognition enhancer in June 1995. It was also approved as clinical candidate for ADHD in July, 1999. This work was published in 1997. ABT-594 3 Also responsible for identification of ABT-594 which was approved for development as treatment for acute and chronic pain in 1996. My group had identified 6-chloro pyridine as the most potent pyridyl moiety in this series based on the SAR studies described above. Coupled the SAR data in the parent series (see publication in 1996) and this information, we conducted the synthesis of ABT-594. This work was published in 1998. ABT-594 was also covered in the patent filed by me in 1995 and issued in 1999. ABT-100 ABT-100 is a potent and novel farnesyl tramsferase inhibitor. Collaborated with associate and initially developed novel carbon triaryl series, which possesses potent biological activities. To broadly cover the patent position, new ortho pyridone phenyl series of FTI were designed and implemented. In addition, several novel o-alkyl substituted, pyridine and pyridone analogs were synthesized to improve the PK profiles. We initiated and synthesized the biphenyl series with either acetylene or ether linkage that lead to the identification of clinical candidates ABT-100.
