Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for novel pharmaceutical compositions and methods to effectively deliver c-kit kinase inhibitors for treating c-kit associated diseases, with existing compositions lacking in stability, oral bioavailability, and toxicity concerns.

Innovation Solution

Development of pharmaceutical compositions comprising N-(5-(5-((1R,2S)-2-fluorocyclopropyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2-methylphenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide, formulated as micronized powders with specific crystalline forms, incorporating an acidulant and surfactant, and optionally including fillers, disintegrants, and stabilizers, to enhance stability and bioavailability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If conventional pharmaceutical compositions are used to deliver c-kit kinase inhibitors, then the basic therapeutic function is achieved, but stability and oral bioavailability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidoral bioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by micronizing the compound to specific particle size ranges (D10: 0.5-2.0 μm, D50: 1.5-3.0 μm, D90: 2.5-5.0 μm) and controlling polymorphic form to enhance both stability and oral bioavailability simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials by formulating the c-kit kinase inhibitor with specific excipients including surfactants (0.5-5% w/w), disintegrants (5-20% w/w), and fillers (20-50% w/w) to create a composite pharmaceutical composition that improves stability and bioavailability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If higher doses of c-kit kinase inhibitors are administered to improve therapeutic effect, then disease treatment efficacy increases, but toxicity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidtoxicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical parameters of the compound through micronization and polymorphic control to improve dissolution rate and bioavailability, enabling lower effective doses that reduce toxicity while maintaining therapeutic effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If the compound is formulated without micronization to simplify manufacturing, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but oral bioavailability and stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidoral bioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies micronization with specific particle size parameters (D10: 0.5-2.0 μm, D50: 1.5-3.0 μm, D90: 2.5-5.0 μm) and controls polymorphic form to enhance oral bioavailability and stability while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through standardized processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
