Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for cancers involving LSD1, such as prostate, bladder, neuroblastomas, lung cancers, and sarcomas, lack effective pharmacological inhibitors that specifically target LSD1 activity, limiting therapeutic options.

Innovation Solution

Development of compounds with specific structural formulas that modulate LSD1 activity, including structural Formula I and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which can be used to treat various diseases associated with LSD1 overexpression or misregulation, including cancers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current cancer treatments are used, then existing therapeutic options are available, but effective pharmacological inhibitors specifically targeting LSD1 activity are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectivenessVSAvoidtargeted treatment options
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing a series of chemical compounds with modified molecular structures (Formula I with various R1-R5 substituents) to optimize LSD1 inhibition. The compounds represent systematic variations in chemical parameters such as aromatic ring substitutions, side chain lengths, and functional groups to achieve effective and selective LSD1 inhibition for cancer treatment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If LSD1 inhibitors are developed to treat cancers, then therapeutic benefits are achieved, but specificity and selectivity of the inhibitors must be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecancer treatment efficacyVSAvoidinhibitor selectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing compounds where specific local structural features (such as the aromatic ring system with particular substituent patterns at R1-R5 positions) provide selective binding to LSD1. The modular substitution patterns allow optimization of local molecular properties to enhance selectivity for LSD1 over other enzymes while maintaining cancer treatment efficacy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
