Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for diseases mediated by IL-36R, such as psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease, lack a monoclonal antibody with high affinity and superior neutralizing activity to effectively block IL-36 inflammatory pathways.

Innovation Solution

Development of a humanized monoclonal antibody, QX009N (HZD25-54), with specific CDR sequences (SEQ ID NOs: 1-6) that binds to IL-36R, blocking receptor agonists and downregulating pro-inflammatory signaling pathways.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing monoclonal antibodies are used to treat IL-36R mediated diseases, then treatment is provided, but the affinity and neutralizing activity are insufficient to effectively block IL-36 inflammatory pathways

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveneutralizing activityVSAvoidinsufficient blocking capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the antibody's binding affinity parameters through specific CDR sequence design. The heavy chain CDRs (SEQ ID NOs: 1-3) and light chain CDRs (SEQ ID NOs: 4-6) are engineered to achieve superior binding affinity to IL-36R, thereby enhancing neutralizing activity and blocking capability against the inflammatory pathway.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If current treatment options are used, then disease management is achieved, but the inflammatory responses and pathogenic cytokine release are not sufficiently inhibited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinhibitory effectVSAvoidpro-inflammatory signaling
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The monoclonal antibody acts as an intermediary substance that binds to IL-36R, preventing the interaction between IL-36 ligands and their receptor. This intermediary action blocks the pro-inflammatory signaling pathway, inhibiting the release of pathogenic cytokines and reducing inflammatory responses in diseases such as psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present invention provides an anti-human interleukin 36 receptor (IL-36R) monoclonal antibody and a use thereof. The monoclonal antibody comprises three heavy chain complementarity determining regions CDR-H1, CDR-H2 and CDR-H3 and three light chain complementarity determining regions CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3, and the amino acid sequences of CDR-H1, CDR-H2, CDR-H3, CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 are as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO: 6, respectively. Compared with Spesolimab, the monoclonal antibody has comparable binding affinity to human IL-36R, and the neutralizing activity of the monoclonal antibody at the cellular level is superior to that of Spesolimab.
