  • Patent number: 9499581
    Abstract: The embodiments provide Compound KC-8, N-1-[3-(oxycodone-6-enol-carbonyl-methyl-amino)-2,2-dimethyl-propylamine]-arginine-glycine-malonic acid, or acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. The present disclosure also provides compositions, and their methods of use, where the compositions comprise a prodrug, Compound KC-8, that provides controlled release of oxycodone. Such compositions can optionally provide a trypsin inhibitor that interacts with the enzyme that mediates the controlled release of oxycodone from the prodrug so as to attenuate enzymatic cleavage of the prodrug.

  • Patent number: 9493477
    Abstract: A method of providing a patient with controlled release of ketone-containing opioid using a prodrug capable, upon enzymatic activation and intramolecular cyclization, of releasing the ketone-containing opioid is disclosed. The disclosure also provides such prodrug compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds. Such pharmaceutical compositions can optionally include an enzyme inhibitor that interacts with the enzyme(s) to mediate the enzymatically-controlled release of the ketone-containing opioid from the prodrug so as to modify enzymatic cleavage of the prodrug.

  • Patent number: 9348896
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention is directed to a dynamic network analytics system capable of receiving and analyzing queries sent in data messages from data requesters. The queries contain a request from the data requester as to a risk level associated with an interaction conducted by a user. The dynamic network analytics system can determine an optimized process for determining the risk level of the interaction, based on an analysis of past interactions by the user and past interactions by users similar to the user. The dynamic network analytics system can retrieve data from internal and external data sources to generate a response to the query. The dynamic network analytics system conducts the optimized process and uses the retrieved data to generate risk assessments and risk scores in response to the query from the data requester.

  • Publication number: 20160127374
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for utilizing the history of previous authentications and authorizations related to third party computers, as factors in determining whether a current request for accessing a resource should be authorized. A processor server computer, in determining whether to authorize access to the resource, may generate and send a query message to one or more of the third party computers to obtain authorization activity that the third party computers may have regarding a user and/or a device associated with the request. The processor server computer may use the authorization activity from the third party computers in determining whether the request is an authentic request and that the request should be authorized.

  • Publication number: 20160034900
    Abstract: A server computing device receives authentication request messages formatted according to a first message format from a party via a computing device of a user involved in a transaction, translates the messages into modified authentication request messages formatted according to a second message format, and transmits the modified authentication request messages to an authorization computer. The server computing device may augment the modified authentication request messages by including data gathered from the received authentication request messages describing the user, user's computing device, and/or network path between the server computing device and user's computing device, as well as risk scores generated based upon the received authentication request message.

  • Publication number: 20160002291
    Abstract: The embodiments provide prodrug compounds of Formulae I-XVII. The present disclosure also provides compositions, and their methods of use, where the compositions comprise a prodrug compound of Formulae I-XVII that provides controlled release of an active agent. Such compositions can optionally provide a trypsin inhibitor that interacts with the enzyme that mediates the controlled release of an active agent from the prodrug so as to attenuate enzymatic cleavage of the prodrug.

  • Publication number: 20150356562
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for performing a secure authentication process by leveraging the historical transaction data associated with an issuer. The historical transaction data stored at a fraud detection system may include the types of frequency of past authentication processes performed by the issuer, allowing for a determination of the likelihood of an authentication challenge process being applied to a current transaction. A merchant may define merchant rules that define what authentication process, if any, should then be applied to the current transaction based on the likelihood of an authentication challenge process being applied to the current transaction.

  • Publication number: 20150227936
    Abstract: A system for providing real-time risk mitigation for an authorization system. The system receives authorization requests from multiple merchants (or their respective acquirers) and processes such requests. Each processed request is then forwarded to its corresponding issuer for further authorization. Each processed request includes an authorization message. The authorization message can include a risk score, a number of reason codes, and a number of condition codes. The use of the risk score, reason codes and condition codes allows issuers to make better informed decisions with respect to providing authorizations.

  • Publication number: 20150161724
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to linking a prepaid account with a payment account used to fund the prepaid account. In some embodiments, during payment for a prepaid device, an authorization request message may include a prepaid account identifier associated with the prepaid account. In some embodiments, an activation request message may include a payment account identifier associated with the payment account. A server at the payment processing network may store an association between the prepaid account identifier and the payment account identifier in an account link database. In some embodiments of the invention, if the payment account is canceled, the payment processing network may use the account link database to cancel any associated prepaid devices, and may transfer funds associated with corresponding prepaid accounts to an issuer associated with the payment account.

  • Publication number: 20150058244
    Abstract: The present invention is related to methods and systems for processing search requests and for performing searches over a network. In an embodiment, a recipient designation is received from a user over a network. The designation indicates that future searches performed by the user are to be associated with the recipient (even if the subject matter of the search is not related to the recipient). A search request is received from the user; causing a search to be performed in response to the search request. An identifier corresponding to the recipient is stored in association with an indication regarding the occurrence of the first search request.
