Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for conditions related to histamine-3 (H3) receptor modulation, such as memory and cognition disorders, lack effective compounds that can selectively modulate H3 receptor activity for therapeutic benefits.

Innovation Solution

Development of cyclopropyl amine derivatives, including bicyclic and tricyclic substituted cyclopropyl amine compounds, which can be used in pharmaceutical compositions to selectively modulate H3 receptor activity, thereby treating or preventing related disorders.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional H3 receptor ligands are used, then H3 receptor modulation activity is achieved, but selectivity and therapeutic efficacy are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidreceptor selectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing specific substituents at defined positions on the cyclopropyl amine core structure. Different substituents (R1-R6) are placed at specific locations to optimize both H3 receptor binding affinity and selectivity, allowing the molecule to interact preferentially with H3 receptors over other histamine receptors

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically varying chemical parameters such as substituent types, ring sizes, and molecular weight within the cyclopropyl amine framework. This allows optimization of the balance between receptor selectivity and therapeutic efficacy by adjusting molecular properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If complex multi-substituted cyclopropyl amine structures are developed, then H3 receptor selectivity is improved, but synthesis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceptor selectivityVSAvoidsynthesis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex cyclopropyl amine molecule into modular components (core cyclopropyl amine structure plus various substituent groups R1-R6). This modular approach allows systematic synthesis where different substituent modules can be independently prepared and then assembled onto the core structure, reducing overall synthesis complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs universality by designing a core cyclopropyl amine structure that serves multiple functions: providing the essential H3 receptor binding motif while allowing attachment of various substituents to achieve different selectivity profiles. This universal core simplifies synthesis compared to developing entirely different molecular frameworks for each compound

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
