Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
Neutral copper complexes characterized in that they have the formula wherein Y represents dimethylsulphoxide or dimethylformamide, and wherein X can be located in any position and is OH, SH, SeH, NH 2 or provided that, when X is OH, Y is not dimethylformamide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
43 words
Neutral copper complexes characterized in that they have the formula wherein Y represents dimethylsulphoxide or dimethylformamide, and wherein X can be located in any position and is OH, SH, SeH, NH 2 or provided that, when X is OH, Y is not dimethylformamide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Complexes according to claim 1 characterized in that they have the formula wherein Y and X are as defined in claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
Complexes according to claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that X is OH and Y is dimethylsulphoxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
Complexes according to claim 2 characterized in that they have the formula wherein Y is as defined in claim 2.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
37 words
A method of preparing complexes as claimed in any of claims 1 to 4 characterized in that it comprises reacting an inorganic copper (II) compound with a substituted benzoic acid in the presence of dimethylsulphoxide or dimethylformamide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method according to claim 5 characterized in that the substituted benzoic acid is salicylic acid.

Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 5 or claim 6, characterized in that the copper (II) compound is a salt or cupric hydroxide.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
A pharmaceutical composition comprising a neutral copper complex and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, characterized in that said neutral copper complex has the formula wherein Y represents dimethylsulphoxide or dimethylformamide, and wherein X can be located in any position and is OH, SH, SeH, NH 2 or
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
46 words
A pharmaceutical composition comprising a neutral copper complex and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, characterized in that said neutral copper complex has the formula wherein Y represents dimethylsulphoxide or dimethylformamide, and wherein X can be located in any position and is OH, SH, SeH, NH 2 or

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
15 words
A composition according to any one of claims 8 to 10 which contains a buffer.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition according to any one of claims 8 to 11 characterized in that it contains 0.1 to 15% w/v of active ingredient.
