(119) The court further stated that the utility of the claimed compounds, which were described in specification as being of the "androstane and pregnane series," need not be "conclusively predicted." (120) With respect to claims directed to the method of forming the claimed compounds, the court generalized the holding of Wilke as imposing only a reduced standard for claims directed to a method of making a product, relative to that required to adequately describe how to use a claimed product produced by the method.

Based on the accumulated evidence from data reported in the literature over the last 40 years, NGTxC may trigger hepatocarcinogenesis through different mechanisms, including the activation of Phase-1 enzymes via binding the Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) (e.g., phenobarbital and some polychlorinated biphenyl congeners), binding the Aryl-hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) (dioxin and dioxin-like compounds), or by inducing peroxisome proliferation via the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPARa) (e.g., hexachlorobenzene) (see Fig.
