Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current therapeutic options for kinase-mediated diseases such as Parkinson's disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, and cancers are limited by the lack of effective inhibitors that can target multiple kinases and cross the blood-brain barrier.
Innovation Solution
Development of cyclic compounds with specific structural features that inhibit multiple kinases, including LRRK2, FGFR, and VEGFR, and possess blood-brain barrier permeability, enabling treatment of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current therapeutic options are used for kinase-mediated diseases, then treatment is provided for some conditions, but the options are limited by lack of effective inhibitors that can target multiple kinases and cross the blood-brain barrier
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single cyclic compound (Formula I) that can simultaneously inhibit multiple kinase targets including LRRK2, FGFR, and VEGFR. The molecular structure contains specific pharmacophore elements that enable broad kinase binding affinity, allowing one drug molecule to perform multiple therapeutic functions across different disease indications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by systematically optimizing molecular properties such as lipophilicity, molecular weight, and hydrogen bond capacity to achieve blood-brain barrier penetration. The cyclic core structure with specific substituent patterns (R1-R6 groups) is designed to fine-tune physicochemical parameters that control BBB permeability while maintaining kinase inhibitory activity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If inhibitors are designed to cross the blood-brain barrier, then neurodegenerative diseases can be treated, but the ability to target multiple kinases may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating functional regions within the cyclic molecule. The core cyclic structure provides BBB-penetrating properties through optimized lipophilicity and size, while specific substituent groups (R1-R6) attached at different positions provide kinase-specific binding interactions. This spatial separation of functions allows simultaneous achievement of BBB permeability and multi-kinase targeting.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material principles by combining a cyclic core scaffold with multiple diverse substituent groups that confer different properties. The molecule integrates hydrophobic regions for membrane permeation with polar and aromatic regions for kinase active site binding, creating a composite molecular structure that achieves both BBB penetration and broad kinase inhibition.
