ChromaDex Announces Issuance of Additional New U.S. Continuation Patent, Further Protecting Future Innovations

A newly granted continuation patent provides additional intellectual property protection for ChromaDex’s Niagen® ingredient and other nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) precursors

ChromaDex Corp. (NASDAQ:CDXC) today announced that it was granted an additional continuation patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,274,117, adding to its global patent portfolio surrounding nicotinamide riboside (NR) and other nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) precursors. This newly granted continuation patent reinforces U.S. Patent No. 11,242,364, which was just granted to ChromaDex on February 8, 2022 (full press release here). ChromaDex currently owns and licenses a robust patent portfolio of over 40 granted patents relating to Niagen® (patented NR) and other precursors of NAD, a molecule at the forefront of the burgeoning healthy aging category. Niagen® is the sole active ingredient in ChromaDex’s flagship product, Tru Niagen®.

“Awareness around the importance of NAD in aging continues to grow, and the market for novel NAD precursors, like NR, continues to expand,” said Aron Erickson, ChromaDex Vice President of Research & Development. “This patent adds further protection of a novel method of making NR chloride to our portfolio. I am honored to have led a team on the development of this important patent.”

This new patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,274,117, relates to a novel method of making nicotinamide riboside (NR) chloride salt. Both newly announced patents allow ChromaDex to protect the manufacturing process of NR Chloride and other new NR salt forms, which can be leveraged in future innovations. Like U.S. Patent No. 11,242,364, U.S. Patent No. 11,274,117 will expire Nov. 10, 2037.

U.S. Patent No. 11,274,117 is part of the patent family titled “Efficient and Scalable Syntheses of Nicotinoyl Ribosides and Reduced Nicotinoyl Ribosides, Modified Derivatives Thereof, Phosphorylated Analogs Thereof, Adenylyl Dinucleotide Conjugates Thereof, and Novel Crystalline Forms Thereof”.
