Solution Overview

Problem

Existing formulations of the 9-((8-fluoro-6-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3-yl)-thio)-4-methyl-2H-[1,4]oxazino[3,2-c]quinoline-3(4H)-one methanesulfonate do not adequately address the need for stable and effective pharmaceutical forms suitable for treating C-Met/HGFR kinase-related cancers.

Innovation Solution

Development of nine distinct crystal forms (A to I) of the methanesulfonate compound, each with specific X-ray diffraction patterns and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, enhancing stability and solubility, and a method for their preparation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing formulations of the methanesulfonate compound are used, then the basic pharmaceutical need is met, but the solubility and stability are insufficient for effective treatment

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidinsufficient solubility and stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing nine distinct crystal forms (polymorphs) of the methanesulfonate compound, each with different crystal structures characterized by specific X-ray diffraction patterns. These polymorphic forms exhibit varying solubility and stability parameters, allowing selection of the optimal form for pharmaceutical application. The different packing arrangements in each crystal form directly alter the physicochemical properties including solubility, melting point, and stability without changing the chemical composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes phase transitions by creating multiple solid-state polymorphic forms of the compound. Each crystal form represents a different solid phase with distinct molecular packing and intermolecular interactions. The ability to transition between these phases through controlled crystallization conditions enables optimization of solubility and stability for pharmaceutical formulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions

2Ease of operation

If a single crystal form is used, then the formulation is simple, but the bioavailability and pharmaceutical processing are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
