Solution Overview

Problem

Current cancer treatments are limited, particularly for blood cancers like multiple myeloma, and there is a need for new methods to inhibit angiogenesis, which is associated with tumor growth and various disorders.

Innovation Solution

Development of deuterium-enriched isoindolinonyl-piperidinonyl and oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl-piperidinonyl conjugates that provide therapeutic agents with improved properties by enriching deuterium at the chiral center, potentially inhibiting angiogenesis and treating medical disorders such as cancer and inflammatory conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional chemotherapy is used to treat blood cancers, then treatment options are available, but treatment effectiveness is limited when conventional chemotherapy fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidtreatment option availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces deuterium substitution at the chiral center of the piperidine-2,6-dione moiety, changing the physical and chemical parameters of the compound. This isotopic substitution reduces enantiomer interconversion and provides enantiomerically pure forms, thereby improving treatment effectiveness for blood cancers that have become resistant to conventional chemotherapy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifically targets the chiral center at the piperidine-2,6-dione moiety, creating asymmetric structures with defined stereochemistry. By providing enantiomerically pure forms through deuterium enrichment, the invention optimizes the biological activity and therapeutic effect, addressing the limitation of conventional chemotherapy in treating resistant blood cancers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Productivity

If tumor-induced angiogenesis is promoted, then tumor growth occurs, but this leads to undesired angiogenesis associated with various disorders

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetumor growthVSAvoidundesired angiogenesis
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful process of angiogenesis into a beneficial therapeutic target. By designing compounds that specifically inhibit angiogenic pathways while maintaining necessary physiological functions, the invention addresses both tumor growth control and prevention of undesired angiogenesis in various disorders through the same mechanistic approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Stability of the object's composition

If deuterium enrichment is provided at the chiral center, then enantiomer interconversion is reduced and enantiomerically pure forms are obtained, but this requires specialized synthesis methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenantiomer stabilityVSAvoidsynthesis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by incorporating deuterium at the chiral center during the synthesis process itself, rather than attempting to separate enantiomers after formation. This approach of building in the desired stereochemical configuration from the start reduces enantiomer interconversion and provides enantiomerically pure forms more efficiently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

By changing the isotopic parameter (substituting deuterium for hydrogen) at the chiral center, the patent fundamentally alters the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the molecule. This parameter change stabilizes the enantiomeric form and reduces interconversion, achieving the desired stereochemical stability through physical-chemical modification rather than complex separation processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
