Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for disorders associated with excessive inflammatory responses lack effective modulators for the N-formyl peptide receptor like-1 (FPRL-1) receptor, which plays a critical role in inflammation and leukocyte trafficking, and existing therapies fail to adequately address the receptor's dual pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signaling.

Innovation Solution

Development of novel 1-(1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-yl)urea derivatives that act as potent and selective modulators of the FPRL-1 receptor, including agonists, antagonists, inverse agonists, partial agonists, and partial antagonists, to treat various inflammatory disorders.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing therapies are used to treat inflammatory disorders, then treatment is provided, but the therapies fail to adequately address the receptor's dual pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory signaling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of FPRL-1 modulationVSAvoidability to address dual signaling
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of FPRL-1 modulators by changing parameters such as introducing specific functional groups (carboxylic acid, ester, amide, urea, carbamate, or hydroxyl at positions 6, 7, or 8 of the isoquinoline ring) and adjusting substituents (R1-R16, X, Y, n, m values) to achieve selective modulation of the receptor's dual signaling pathways, thereby resolving the contradiction between treatment effectiveness and adaptability to dual signaling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If non-specific FPRL-1 modulators are used, then the receptor is activated, but pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects cannot be selectively controlled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereceptor modulationVSAvoidselectivity of signaling modulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing specific functional groups at specific positions (6, 7, or 8) of the isoquinoline ring system, allowing selective modulation of particular signaling pathways. The substitution patterns (R1-R16, X, Y, n, m) enable localized chemical modifications that confer selective pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory activity, thereby achieving precision in signaling control while maintaining ease of receptor modulation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If current FPRL-1 modulators are used, then inflammation is addressed, but the compounds lack potent and selective modulation capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinflammation resolutionVSAvoidpotency and selectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates composite molecular structures by combining the core 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1,7-dione scaffold with various functional groups (carboxylic acid, ester, amide, urea, carbamate, hydroxyl) and substituents (R1-R16, X, Y, n, m). This composite approach enables the development of potent and selective FPRL-1 modulators that achieve reliable inflammation resolution, resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
