Hakim Karoui has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9035054
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of organic chemistry and in particular to organic free radicals used as polarizing agents in the technique of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP), which involves transferring the polarization of electron spins to the nuclei of a compound whose Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is being observed. It concerns Dinitroxide-type Biradical polarizing agents characterized by a rigid linkage between the aminoxyl groups of said nitroxide units. This particular structure enables, at low temperatures and high fields, optimal transfer of polarization and optimal enhancement of NMR/MAS signals of the polarized nuclei of the compound studied.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5750710
    Abstract: New nitrones which are usable for the scavaging of free radicals, are selected from 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide, 5-phosphono-5-methyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide, and 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-(2,3,3-.sup.2 H.sub.3)-1-pyrroline 1-oxide, as well as its corresponding physiologically acceptable salts obtained by the action of an inorganic or organic base.
