Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis, lack effective compounds that modulate sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 5 (S1P5) to address the underlying cellular mechanisms contributing to these conditions.

Innovation Solution

Development of carboxylic acid containing indanyl compounds that modulate S1P5, which are administered to subjects in need, thereby targeting the receptor and potentially alleviating symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current treatments for neurodegenerative diseases are used, then existing therapeutic options are available, but effective modulators for S1P5 receptors are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of treatmentVSAvoidavailability of S1P5 modulators
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the therapeutic approach by developing specific compounds that selectively modulate S1P5 receptors, separating this target from other S1P receptor subtypes. This allows for targeted treatment of neurodegenerative diseases through S1P5-specific modulation while leaving other receptor pathways unaffected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by modifying molecular structures (varying R1, R2, R3 substituents and L linkers) to optimize S1P5 binding affinity and selectivity. This systematic variation of chemical parameters enables the development of effective S1P5 modulators where none previously existed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If compounds of Formula (I) are developed to modulate S1P5, then therapeutic options for neurodegenerative diseases are expanded, but structural complexity of the compounds increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic optionsVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal scaffold structure (Formula I) that can accommodate multiple substituent variations while maintaining S1P5 modulatory activity. This core structure serves multiple therapeutic purposes across different neurodegenerative diseases, reducing the need for entirely separate compound designs for each application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by introducing specific substituents at defined positions (R1 on aromatic ring, R2 and R3 on piperidine/piperazine ring) to optimize S1P5 interaction. This localized modification approach allows for precise tuning of molecular properties without requiring complete structural redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
