Solution Overview

Problem

Current pharmaceutical formulations of 5-(2-{[6-(2,2-difluoro-2-phenylethoxy)hexyl]amino}-1-hydroxyethyl)-8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one lack a water-soluble and stable salt form, making it difficult to create effective aqueous solutions suitable for administration to children and the elderly for treating respiratory diseases.

Innovation Solution

Development of methanesulphonic acid salts of 5-(2-{[6-(2,2-difluoro-2-phenylethoxy)hexyl]amino}-1-hydroxyethyl)-8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one, which are highly soluble and stable in aqueous solutions, allowing for the creation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for inhalation in treating respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If napadisylate salts of 5-(2-{[6-(2,2-difluoro-2-phenylethoxy)hexyl]amino}-1-hydroxyethyl)-8-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one are used, then the compound can be administered by inhalation, but the salt lacks adequate water solubility and stability in aqueous solutions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability in aqueous solutionsVSAvoidwater solubility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selecting a specific counterion (mesylate/methanesulphonate) to transform the compound into a salt form that simultaneously achieves high water solubility and stability. This chemical parameter modification resolves the contradiction between solubility and stability that plagued previous salt forms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The mesylate salt acts as an intermediary form that bridges the gap between the parent compound's pharmacological activity and the requirements for aqueous formulation. This intermediate salt form enables the compound to be dissolved and stabilized in water while maintaining its therapeutic efficacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If a water-soluble salt form is developed for administration to children and the elderly, then ease of administration is improved, but the compound previously lacked a stable salt form suitable for aqueous solutions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of administrationVSAvoidstability in aqueous solutions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By changing the salt form parameter to mesylate, the invention creates a compound that is both water-soluble and stable, thereby enabling easy administration to pediatric and geriatric patients who require liquid formulations while simultaneously achieving the previously elusive stability in aqueous solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Duration of action of stationary object

If adequate shelf-life is required for commercial distribution, then the product must be stable in aqueous formulations, but no water-soluble salt with desired stability has been reported

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshelf-lifeVSAvoidwater solubility
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The invention resolves the shelf-life versus solubility contradiction by modifying the chemical parameter of the salt form to mesylate, which confers both high water solubility and exceptional stability in aqueous formulations, thereby achieving adequate shelf-life for commercial distribution while maintaining the necessary solubility characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
