Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for immune and inflammatory disorders, such as psoriasis, often have toxic adverse effects and insufficient efficacy, highlighting a need for improved therapeutic agents that can effectively modulate retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ) activity.

Innovation Solution

Development of compounds represented by Formula II and their pharmaceutical compositions, which inhibit RORγ activity and reduce IL-17 levels, providing therapeutic benefits for various medical disorders including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other immune and inflammatory conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current immunosuppressive drugs and traditional therapies are used to treat immune and inflammatory disorders, then some therapeutic effect is achieved, but toxic adverse effects occur and efficacy is insufficient for many patients

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidtoxic adverse effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of RORγ modulators through various substituent groups (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10) to optimize the balance between therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. By systematically varying molecular parameters such as substituent types, positions, and configurations, the invention aims to achieve selective RORγ modulation that maintains effectiveness while reducing harmful side effects associated with conventional immunosuppressants

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If traditional therapies for psoriasis are administered, then some symptom relief is provided, but the treatments often have toxic adverse effects and do not provide satisfactory results for all patients

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment accessibilityVSAvoidtherapeutic efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing compounds with specific molecular characteristics tailored to target RORγ selectively. The structured approach with defined substituent positions (R1-R10) allows optimization of local molecular interactions with the RORγ ligand-binding domain, enhancing therapeutic efficacy for psoriasis and other immune disorders while maintaining ease of administration through oral or topical delivery of precisely engineered molecules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
