1Reliability

If alternative forms of AMG 397 are developed, then stability and bioavailability are improved, but the complexity of the patent increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidcomplexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing multiple salt forms (hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, fumarate, maleate, tartrate, citrate, lactate, succinate, trifluoroacetate) and solvate forms (acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, ethanol, isopropanol, methanol, water) of AMG 397. Each salt and solvate form represents a different chemical parameter variation that improves stability and bioavailability while maintaining the core molecular structure. This systematic exploration of parameter space allows optimization of pharmaceutical properties without fundamentally changing the active molecule.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite material forms by combining AMG 397 with various counterions to form salts and with solvents to form solvates. These composite forms integrate the active pharmaceutical ingredient with auxiliary substances in defined stoichiometric ratios, creating new materials with enhanced stability and bioavailability profiles. The crystalline structures of these composite forms provide improved physical and chemical properties suitable for clinical use.

If alternative forms of AMG 397 are developed, then bioavailability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebioavailabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-forming AMG 397 into various salt and solvate forms during the synthesis process. The hydrochloride salt is formed by reaction with HCl, sulfate salts by reaction with sulfuric acid or sulfates, and solvates by crystallization from appropriate solvents. These preliminary formative actions during manufacturing simplify downstream processing and ensure consistent bioavailability without requiring additional complex formulation steps later.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by selecting specific salt formation conditions (pH, temperature, solvent system) and solvate crystallization parameters (solvent type, concentration, temperature) to optimize both bioavailability and manufacturing ease. Each salt and solvate form represents an optimized parameter set that balances pharmaceutical performance with manufacturability, allowing standard pharmaceutical manufacturing processes to produce the improved forms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
