Solution Overview

Problem

Existing BK B2 receptor antagonists suffer from low metabolic stability, low bioavailability, and bioactivation leading to toxicity, limiting their utility as effective therapeutic agents for pathophysiological conditions associated with bradykinin levels.

Innovation Solution

Development of new BK B2 receptor antagonists according to general formula (I), which exhibit improved pharmacokinetic and physiochemical properties such as enhanced bioavailability, metabolic stability, and reduced toxicity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing BK B2 receptor antagonists are used, then bradykinin receptor blockade activity is achieved, but metabolic stability is low and bioavailability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetabolic stabilityVSAvoidbioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically modifying the chemical structure of quinoline derivatives through varying substituents at specific positions (R1-R6, A1-A6, B1-B6) to optimize the balance between metabolic stability and bioavailability. The general formula (I) defines specific structural parameters that improve pharmacokinetic properties while maintaining B2 receptor antagonistic activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If existing BK B2 receptor antagonists are used, then receptor blockade activity is achieved, but bioactivation leads to toxicity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetoxicityVSAvoidmetabolic stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful bioactivation pathway into a beneficial outcome by designing molecules that undergo metabolic transformation into inactive metabolites rather than toxic species. The structural features in formula (I) are specifically chosen to direct metabolism toward non-toxic pathways while maintaining the desired pharmacological activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If existing BK B2 receptor antagonists are used, then therapeutic effect is achieved, but formation of glutathione adducts occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveglutathione adduct formationVSAvoidmetabolic stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts or removes the problematic reactive functional groups that lead to glutathione adduct formation by selecting specific substituent patterns in the general formula (I) that eliminate electrophilic centers prone to conjugation with glutathione, thereby preventing adduct formation while preserving metabolic stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
