Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments lack an effective agent to prevent and treat ischemic heart diseases and other conditions caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury, which leads to significant morbidity and mortality due to cell death and tissue damage.

Innovation Solution

A salt compound of the formula (2) is developed, comprising a cation such as potassium, sodium, or calcium, and a solvent like water or ethanol, which inhibits ischemic cell death by forming a salt with the aminopyrazole derivative KM-819, thereby protecting cardiomyocytes and reducing reperfusion-induced injuries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional treatments are used for ischemic diseases, then standard care is provided, but effective prevention and treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of treatmentVSAvoidavailability of effective agents
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by converting the parent compound KM-819 into different salt forms (sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt, magnesium salt) with varying physicochemical properties. Each salt form exhibits different solubility, stability, and bioavailability characteristics, allowing optimization for specific therapeutic applications while maintaining the core ischemic cell death inhibitory activity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite pharmaceutical compositions by combining the salt forms of KM-819 with various excipients, carriers, and formulation agents. These composite formulations enhance drug delivery, stability, and therapeutic efficacy while addressing the lack of effective treatments for ischemia-reperfusion injury

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If salt forms are developed to improve drug properties, then solubility and bioavailability are enhanced, but formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesolubility and bioavailabilityVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically varies the counterion parameter (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) to optimize solubility and bioavailability. Each salt form represents a controlled parameter change that improves drug properties while maintaining a standardized formulation approach, thereby managing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops universal formulation platforms that can accommodate different salt forms of KM-819 using similar excipients and manufacturing processes. This multi-functional approach allows the same formulation strategy to be applied across multiple salt variants, reducing overall formulation complexity despite the variety of salt forms

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