Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically modifying the chemical structure of domide compounds through varying substituents at specific positions (R1-R7, L1-L2, X1-X3, U) to optimize the balance between therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. This involves changing molecular parameters such as substituent types, positions, and configurations to achieve desired biological activity while reducing harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material principles by creating complex molecular structures that combine multiple functional groups and substituents in specific configurations. The compound represents a composite molecular architecture integrating various chemical moieties (aromatic rings, heterocyclic groups, linking structures) to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects while minimizing toxicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If existing domide compounds are used, then general anti-tumor activity is achieved, but insufficient activity against tumors with low receptor expression

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-tumor activityVSAvoidactivity against low receptor expression tumors
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing specific substituents at particular positions within the molecular structure to enhance localized interactions with target proteins. The strategic placement of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups, aromatic substituents, and heterocyclic moieties at specific positions (such as R2, R6, R7, L1, L2) creates localized regions of enhanced binding affinity and selectivity for target proteins with low receptor expression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by systematically varying molecular properties including substituent electronegativity, steric bulk, hydrogen bonding capability, and aromaticity to optimize binding affinity for target proteins. This involves adjusting parameters such as the nature of substituents at R1-R7 positions, the structure of linking groups L1-L2, and the configuration at chiral centers to enhance activity against tumors with low receptor expression.
