Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional treatments are used for neurodegenerative diseases, then current standard therapy is maintained, but therapeutic effectiveness is limited and disease progression cannot be blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectivenessVSAvoiddisease progression blockage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of benzothiazole compounds by creating novel salts with different counterions (e.g., hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, L-aspartate, maleate, fumarate, citrate, L-malate, and methane sulfate). These parameter changes in chemical formulation improve solubility and bioavailability, thereby enhancing therapeutic effectiveness and enabling better disease progression blockage compared to conventional treatments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite salt structures by combining the benzothiazole compound with various acid counterions. This composite approach allows the development of multiple salt forms (e.g., hydrochloride salt, sulfate salt, phosphate salt) that collectively provide improved pharmacological properties and broader therapeutic effectiveness for neurodegenerative diseases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If benzothiazole compounds are used as c-abl inhibitors, then c-abl activity is inhibited, but physicochemical properties and solubility need improvement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvec-abl inhibition activityVSAvoidphysicochemical properties and solubility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically varies the counterion parameter in the salt structure to optimize solubility and physicochemical properties. By selecting different acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, L-aspartic, maleic, fumaric, citric, L-malic, and methanesulfonic), the invention adjusts the salt's solubility characteristics while maintaining c-abl inhibition activity, making the compound more suitable for pharmaceutical development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The salt counterions act as intermediaries that facilitate the dissolution and absorption of the benzothiazole compound. These intermediary substances (e.g., hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate) improve the physicochemical properties by enhancing solubility in biological fluids, thereby enabling better bioavailability and maintaining effective c-abl inhibition without compromising the compound's inhibitory activity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
