Solution Overview

Problem

Existing ErbB inhibitors fail to satisfactorily address the variable responsiveness of cancer patients, particularly those with oncogenic mutants of ErbB receptors, leading to ineffective treatments for cancers like glioblastoma and non-small cell lung cancer.

Innovation Solution

Development of new alkynyl quinazoline compounds that inhibit receptor tyrosine kinases, specifically targeting oncogenic mutants of ErbB receptors, including allosteric mutants with mutations outside the ATP-binding site, to prevent or treat cancer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing ErbB inhibitors are used to treat cancer patients with oncogenic mutants, then treatment is provided, but variable responsiveness leads to ineffective treatment outcomes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidresponse variability across patients
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of quinazoline compounds by introducing specific substituents at defined positions (e.g., R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 groups) to change the binding parameters of the inhibitor, thereby improving its effectiveness against variable ErbB mutants while maintaining reliable treatment outcomes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite chemical structures by combining quinazoline core with various substituent groups (aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, halo substituents) to develop a family of compounds with enhanced and consistent activity across different ErbB mutant types, resolving the variability issue

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If new alkynyl quinazoline compounds are developed to target oncogenic mutants, then treatment effectiveness improves, but compound complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinhibition effectivenessVSAvoidcompound structural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the quinazoline compound into distinct functional regions (core quinazoline structure, N-substituent, C-substituent, and various R-groups at defined positions), allowing systematic optimization of each segment to achieve effective inhibition while managing overall molecular complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
