Solution Overview

Problem

Existing drugs like imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib are ineffective against drug-resistant BCR-ABL1 mutants in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), necessitating the development of new compounds to inhibit tyrosine kinase activity effectively.

Innovation Solution

Development of a crystal form of a quaternary fused ring compound in the form of acid salts, such as ethylsulfonate, mesylate, sulfate, hydrochloride, p-tosylate, besylate, isethionate, or 1,5-napadisylate, to enhance solubility, stability, and bioavailability, thereby targeting the ATP and myristoyl binding sites of BCR-ABL1.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing drugs like imatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib are used to inhibit BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase activity, then the drug may be effective in treating CML, but some patients relapse due to the emergence of drug-resistant clones

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoideffectiveness against drug-resistant mutants
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of quaternary fused ring compounds by changing parameters such as substituting hydrogen atoms with deuterium atoms (kinetic isotope effect), adjusting molecular weight, and modifying functional groups to create compounds that can overcome drug resistance while maintaining therapeutic efficacy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite salt forms by combining the quaternary fused ring compound with various acids (e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid, mesitic acid, benzoic acid) to form salt crystals that exhibit enhanced solubility, stability, and bioavailability, thereby improving therapeutic performance against resistant mutants

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Duration of action of stationary object

If salt crystal forms of quaternary fused ring compounds are developed to improve solubility and stability, then the product life cycle is prolonged, but the complexity of the preparation process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct life cycleVSAvoidpreparation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary crystallization and salt formation steps during the synthesis process itself, rather than as separate post-processing operations. The quaternary fused ring compound is formed with the appropriate salt form already integrated into the molecular structure, simplifying downstream processing and storage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes crystallization parameters such as temperature, pH, and solvent composition to facilitate the formation of stable salt crystal forms with desired properties. By controlling these parameters, the patent achieves prolonged product life cycle while maintaining relatively simple preparation processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
