Solution Overview

Problem

Current factor VIIa inhibitors have limitations in terms of pharmacological characteristics, including factor VIIa inhibitory activity, selectivity, dosage regimens, pharmaceutical properties, and potential for adverse side effects, necessitating the development of compounds with improved efficacy and safety profiles for treating thromboembolic disorders.

Innovation Solution

Development of novel macrocyclic compounds and their analogues, including stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and solvates, which serve as selective inhibitors of factor VIIa, offering enhanced inhibitory activity, selectivity, and improved pharmacokinetic properties to effectively treat thromboembolic disorders.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current factor VIIa inhibitors are used, then thrombotic disorders can be treated, but pharmacological characteristics such as inhibitory activity, selectivity, and safety profile are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinhibitory activity and selectivityVSAvoidadverse side effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of factor VIIa inhibitors through macrocyclization and specific substituent patterns (e.g., fluorinated phenyl groups, specific linker structures). These structural parameter changes result in improved inhibitory potency (lower IC50 values), enhanced selectivity for factor VIIa over other proteases, and reduced adverse side effects compared to previous linear inhibitors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material principles by creating macrocyclic compounds that integrate multiple functional groups and structural elements into a single molecular framework. The composite structure includes macrocyclic rings with specific substituents, linker groups, and aromatic moieties that work synergistically to achieve superior pharmacological properties including enhanced binding affinity and selectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If higher dosages are used to improve efficacy, then inhibitory activity increases, but adverse side effects increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinhibitory activityVSAvoidadverse side effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The macrocyclic structure with optimized substituent parameters enables the compound to achieve high inhibitory activity at lower dosages. The structural modifications (macrocyclization, fluorinated groups, specific linker lengths) enhance binding affinity to factor VIIa, allowing effective inhibition with reduced drug exposure and consequently fewer adverse side effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If selectivity for factor VIIa is increased, then adverse side effects on other proteases are reduced, but compound structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveselectivityVSAvoidcompound structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves enhanced selectivity through precise parameter optimization of the macrocyclic structure, including specific substituent positions, linker configurations, and aromatic group arrangements. These targeted parameter changes create molecular features that specifically recognize and bind to factor VIIa while minimizing interactions with other proteases, thereby improving selectivity without requiring excessive structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
