Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for compounds that can effectively inhibit the activity of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins to treat various medical conditions, including cancer and other diseases, as existing therapies are inadequate in modulating BCL-2 protein activity.

Innovation Solution

Development of specific compounds with a defined formula and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which can modulate BCL-2 protein activity, including inhibition, for use in treating diseases associated with BCL-2, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing therapies are used, then treatment of medical conditions is provided, but BCL-2 protein activity is not adequately inhibited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveBCL-2 inhibition efficacyVSAvoidtherapeutic coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of BCL-2 inhibitor compounds through various substituents (R1-R6, Cy1-Cy3, E, G, L, X, Y, Z parameters) to optimize inhibition efficacy while maintaining therapeutic versatility across different medical conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If BCL-2 protein activity is inhibited, then cell proliferation is reduced, but therapeutic application requires specific compound formulations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell proliferation controlVSAvoidcompound formulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying chemical parameters (R1-R6 substituents, Cy1-Cy3 cyclic groups, E, G, L linkers, X, Y, Z heteroatoms) to develop compound formulations that achieve reliable cell proliferation control while managing formulation complexity through structure-activity relationship optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
