Solution Overview

Problem

Current therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are ineffective in directly altering disease progression and often cause severe side effects, with no specific drug approved for these conditions, and existing antipsychotics and antidepressants have poor tolerability and adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.

Innovation Solution

Development of a novel compound with serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonism and/or inverse agonism, specifically designed to target 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, reducing adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and improving selectivity for these receptors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing therapeutic agents (antipsychotics, antidepressants, Parkinson's disease agents) are used to treat neuropsychiatric symptoms, then symptom relief is achieved, but tolerability is significantly poor and severe adverse effects occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesymptom relief effectivenessVSAvoidadverse effects and tolerability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the pharmacological parameters of existing 5-HT2A receptor antagonists by changing their chemical structure (introducing specific substituents at defined positions) to alter their binding characteristics and selectivity, thereby improving the balance between efficacy and tolerability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention focuses on improving selectivity for specific receptor subtypes (5-HT2A and 5-HT2C) over other serotonin receptors and cardiovascular targets, creating local specificity in receptor interaction to reduce off-target adverse effects while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If pimavanserin is used as a 5-HT2A receptor inverse agonist, then hallucinations and delusions are treated, but cardiovascular adverse effects are large and use is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness for hallucinations and delusionsVSAvoidcardiovascular adverse effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the pharmacological parameters of pimavanserin and related compounds by changing their chemical structure (introducing specific substituents at defined positions) to alter their binding characteristics and selectivity, thereby improving the balance between efficacy and tolerability

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The invention focuses on improving selectivity for specific receptor subtypes (5-HT2A and 5-HT2C) over other serotonin receptors and cardiovascular targets, creating local specificity in receptor interaction to reduce off-target adverse effects while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing antipsychotics and antidepressants are used, then neuropsychiatric symptoms are addressed, but tolerability is significantly poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of neuropsychiatric symptomsVSAvoidtolerability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the pharmacological parameters of existing agents by changing their chemical structure to achieve a more favorable side effect profile while maintaining symptom coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
