Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for improved modulator compounds for GPR52, a G-protein coupled receptor, to effectively treat various neurological conditions as existing solutions are inadequate in addressing the complexities of these diseases.

Innovation Solution

The development of compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which are designed to modulate GPR52 activity, are administered to patients to treat a range of neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's Disease, by targeting specific receptor sites and pathways.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing modulator compounds are used for GPR52, then some neurological conditions can be treated, but the treatment effectiveness is inadequate and symptoms are not sufficiently ameliorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidability to address disease complexities
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically modifying chemical structures of GPR52 modulator compounds. Formula (I) presents a generalized molecular structure with multiple variable parameters (R1-R10 substituents, X/Y heteroatoms, Q nitrogen or carbon) that can be adjusted to optimize binding affinity and selectivity for GPR52, thereby improving treatment effectiveness while addressing diverse neurological condition complexities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials principles by creating compounds with complex multi-component molecular structures. Formula (I) integrates multiple functional groups, heteroatoms, and substituent patterns that work synergistically to enhance modulator activity against GPR52, providing improved therapeutic efficacy for neurological disorders through composite molecular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If compounds of Formula (I) are developed with multiple substituent options, then treatment effectiveness improves, but compound complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic benefitVSAvoidcompound structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex GPR52 modulator into distinct structural modules within Formula (I). The molecule is segmented into core framework elements (X, Y, Q positions) and variable substituent regions (R1-R10 groups), allowing independent optimization of each segment's properties to achieve therapeutic effectiveness while managing overall molecular complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by assigning specific functional properties to different regions of the molecular structure. Each substituent position (R1-R10) can be independently tailored with specific chemical groups to optimize local interactions with GPR52 binding sites, thereby enhancing therapeutic benefit while controlling complexity through localized functional optimization rather than uniform molecular complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
