Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for ischemic stroke, such as intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), have a short therapeutic window and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, with recanalization rates below 25% for acute large vessel occlusion.

Innovation Solution

Development of heterocyclic compounds with plasminogen regulatory activity that promote thrombolysis and anti-inflammatory effects, offering a new mechanism for treating thromboembolic diseases like ischemic stroke, with improved therapeutic time windows and reduced bleeding risks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is used for ischemic stroke treatment, then recanalization can be achieved, but the therapeutic window is short and the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecanalization rateVSAvoidtherapeutic window duration and bleeding risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces SMTP series compounds as intermediary substances that indirectly promote thrombolysis by modulating plasminogen conformation and enhancing t-PA activity, rather than using t-PA directly. This mediator approach allows for prolonged therapeutic effect and reduced bleeding risk compared to direct t-PA administration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the biochemical parameters of the thrombolytic system by introducing compounds that alter plasminogen conformation and enhance its activation. This parameter change approach extends the therapeutic window from hours to days while maintaining efficacy and reducing hemorrhage risk

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Speed

If traditional thrombolytic agents are used, then plasminogen activation can be accelerated, but the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplasminogen activation rateVSAvoidintracerebral hemorrhage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the potential harm of excessive plasminogen activation into benefit by using SMTP compounds that mildly enhance activation through conformational modulation. This approach maintains the beneficial thrombolytic effect while avoiding the harmful hemorrhage risk associated with aggressive activation methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of fully activating plasminogen with strong thrombolytic agents, the invention uses partial action through SMTP compounds that enhance activation to an optimal level. This partial activation achieves sufficient thrombolysis without exceeding the safe threshold that would cause hemorrhage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The heterocyclic compounds enhance thrombolysis promotion and provide anti-inflammatory benefits, potentially extending the therapeutic window and reducing the risk of bleeding, providing a safer and more effective treatment for ischemic stroke.

Implementation Method 1

accelerate plasminogen activation mediated by urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) or t-PA, rapidly elevate plasmin levels and promote thrombolysis by plasmin
