Innovation Solution

The development of crystal forms A, B, C, and D of a compound of formula (I), characterized by specific X-ray powder diffraction patterns, differential scanning calorimetry curves, and thermogravimetric analysis, which exhibit stability, high solubility, and resistance to light, heat, and humidity, facilitating their use in drug preparation for ASK1-related diseases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional treatments are used for ASK1-related diseases, then existing therapeutic options are available, but they lack effective inhibitors with stable bioavailability and resistance to light, heat, and humidity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability and bioavailability of therapeutic compoundVSAvoidsensitivity to light, heat, and humidity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the compound into different crystal forms (polymorphs) with distinct physical and chemical properties. Each crystal form exhibits different stability characteristics, solubility, and resistance to environmental factors such as light, heat, and humidity. This allows selection of the most suitable crystal form for therapeutic application, thereby improving reliability and resistance to harmful factors simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
