Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for compounds that can effectively treat disorders related to the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, particularly those affecting the cardiovascular system, with requirements for physical and chemical stability and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.

Innovation Solution

A compound of Formula (I) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which can modulate the activity of the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, are used in pharmaceutical compositions to treat disorders such as coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and blood clot formation, offering therapeutic benefits through modulation of the receptor activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing 5-HT2A modulators are used to treat cardiovascular disorders, then therapeutic effect is achieved, but physical and chemical stability and pharmacokinetic properties are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidphysical and chemical stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically modifying the chemical structure of 5-HT2A modulators through varying substituents at different positions (R1-R6 groups) to optimize both therapeutic efficacy and physical-chemical stability. The structure-activity relationship studies identify specific parameter ranges that simultaneously improve cardiovascular therapeutic effects and molecular stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite molecular structures combining the core 5-HT2A modulator scaffold with various functional groups and substituents. These composite structures integrate multiple pharmacophores that work synergistically to enhance both therapeutic activity and pharmacokinetic properties including stability, solubility, and metabolic resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If existing 5-HT2A modulators are used to treat cardiovascular disorders, then therapeutic effect is achieved, but pharmacokinetic properties are unfavorable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidpharmacokinetic properties
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes pharmacokinetic parameters by adjusting molecular weight, lipophilicity, and hydrogen bonding capacity through selective substitution patterns. These parameter changes directly influence absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties to achieve favorable pharmacokinetic profiles while maintaining therapeutic efficacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs preliminary structural optimization to pre-establish compounds with improved pharmacokinetic properties before clinical evaluation. This includes designing molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and reduced clearance rates from the outset, rather than attempting to improve these properties after initial compound identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
