Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Cabozantinib salts exhibit poor solubility, low crystallinity, and hygroscopicity, which limits their therapeutic efficacy and stability.

Innovation Solution

Development of solid forms of Cabozantinib salt with L-(+)-tartaric acid, specifically Forms 1, 2, 3, and 4, which are characterized by improved solubility, crystallinity, and reduced hygroscopicity through specific preparation processes involving solvents like tetrahydrofurane, methanol, and water.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Cabozantinib malate salt is used, then the compound is orally bioavailable, but the solubility remains poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoral bioavailabilityVSAvoidsolubility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by switching from malate salt to L-(+)-tartaric acid salt of Cabozantinib. This chemical parameter change (salt form modification) results in improved solubility while maintaining oral bioavailability, directly resolving the contradiction between poor solubility and required bioavailability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If Cabozantinib tartrate salt is prepared, then the crystallinity is low, but the solubility is also low

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecrystallinityVSAvoidsolubility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction by changing the salt form parameter from tartrate to L-(+)-tartaric acid, and进一步优化 through specific crystallization conditions (solvent system, temperature, pH) to achieve both high crystallinity and improved solubility simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If Cabozantinib salts are formulated, then the therapeutic efficacy is limited, but the stability is also compromised due to hygroscopicity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidstability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the salt form parameter to L-(+)-tartaric acid salt, which reduces hygroscopicity and improves stability. This parameter change simultaneously enhances therapeutic efficacy through improved solubility and bioavailability while maintaining formulation stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by optimizing the crystallization process conditions (solvent selection, temperature control, pH adjustment) to pre-establish the desired crystal structure and properties before formulation, ensuring both stability and efficacy are achieved in the final product

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
