Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for improved antiviral agents and methods for treating HIV infections, as well as better pharmaceutical formulations of these agents, including their preparation and purification.

Innovation Solution

The development of crystalline forms, salts, and co-crystals of the HIV integrase inhibitor (1S,2R,5S)-8-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-7,9-dioxo-N-(2,4,6-trifluorobenzyl)-2,5,7,9-tetrahydro-1,6-methanopyrido[1,2-b][1,2,5]triazonine-10-carboxamide, which offer improved bioavailability, stability, and manufacturability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the HIV integrase inhibitor is developed as a crystalline form, then stability and storability are improved, but bioavailability may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidbioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing multiple crystalline forms (polymorphs, solvates, hydrates) with different physical and chemical parameters. Each crystalline form has distinct properties such as solubility, dissolution rate, and stability, allowing optimization of the balance between stability and bioavailability through selection of appropriate crystalline forms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by creating co-crystals that combine the HIV integrase inhibitor with co-formers. These co-crystal compositions exhibit improved properties compared to the parent compound, including enhanced stability and maintained or improved bioavailability, effectively resolving the contradiction between these two parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If crystalline forms are developed for the HIV integrase inhibitor, then manufacturability is improved, but formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemanufacturabilityVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by isolating and characterizing individual crystalline forms (Forms I, II, III, etc.) with distinct XRPD patterns and properties. This segmentation allows each form to be independently optimized for manufacturing while simplifying the overall formulation development process through systematic evaluation of discrete forms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By systematically varying crystallization parameters (solvent type, temperature, pH, additives) to produce different crystalline forms, the patent enables optimization of manufacturability for each form while maintaining a manageable formulation complexity through understanding the structure-property relationships

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
