Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for cancers and other diseases mediated by CD73, such as adenosine-mediated immune suppression, lack specificity and efficacy, necessitating the development of targeted CD73 inhibitors to enhance anti-tumor responses and treat associated diseases.

Innovation Solution

Development of a CD73 inhibitor compound of formula (I) and its preparation method, which effectively inhibits the enzymatic activity of CD73, applicable for treating cancers and other diseases mediated by CD73, particularly melanoma, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, brain tumor, lymphoma, and ovarian cancer.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a small molecule inhibitor as an intermediary substance that specifically binds to the CD73 enzyme active site, blocking its catalytic activity. This intermediary approach allows selective targeting of CD73 without affecting other enzymes, thereby improving treatment specificity and efficacy for cancers and CD73-mediated diseases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops compounds with optimized molecular parameters including specific functional groups (sulfonamide, sulfone), ring structures (pyrimidine, pyridine), and substituent patterns that enhance binding affinity to CD73. By systematically varying these chemical parameters, the invention achieves high specificity and potency in inhibiting CD73 enzymatic activity

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The CD73 inhibitor demonstrates strong inhibitory effects on CD73 enzymatic activity, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment and other CD73-mediated diseases with enhanced safety and specificity.

Implementation Method 1

CD73 plays a major role in catalyzing the conversion of extracellular monophosphate (such as 5'AMP) into their corresponding nucleosides (such as adenosine). The CD73 inhibitor demonstrates strong inhibitory effects on CD73 enzymatic activity
