Solution Overview

Problem

Current TRK inhibitors face challenges in overcoming acquired resistance mutations, such as solvent-front and gatekeeper mutations, and have limited ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, necessitating the development of new TRK inhibitors that can effectively target TRK fusion-related tumors, including those in the brain.

Innovation Solution

A macrocyclic imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivative and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are developed as TRK kinase inhibitors, designed to overcome drug resistance mutations and enhance brain penetration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current TRK inhibitors are used to target TRK fusion-related tumors, then TRK kinase activity is inhibited, but acquired resistance mutations (solvent-front and gatekeeper mutations) develop and blood-brain barrier penetration is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveTRK kinase inhibition effectivenessVSAvoidability to overcome resistance mutations and penetrate blood-brain barrier
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of TRK inhibitors to create a new macrocyclic imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine derivative with altered molecular properties. This structural modification changes key parameters including macrocyclization to form a cyclic structure with specific ring size, substitution patterns at defined positions, and stereochemical configurations, enabling the inhibitor to overcome resistance mutations and improve blood-brain barrier penetration while maintaining TRK kinase inhibition effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite molecular structure by combining multiple functional moieties into a single macrocyclic inhibitor molecule. The compound integrates the imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine core with additional structural elements including substituted groups at specific positions, forming a composite structure that simultaneously achieves high TRK binding affinity, resistance to mutations, and enhanced brain penetration capabilities
