Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for diseases related to unregulated tyrosine kinase signal transduction, such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, often target single receptor tyrosine kinase pathways, which may not provide sufficient therapeutic effect, and there is a need for compounds that can effectively modulate or inhibit both VEGF and PDGF receptors to address these conditions.

Innovation Solution

Development of specific organic molecules that can block VEGF and/or PDGF receptors, represented by compounds of a general formula I, which are designed to inhibit tyrosine kinase signal transduction, thereby treating vascular proliferative disorders like diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If single receptor tyrosine kinase pathways are targeted, then treatment simplicity is maintained, but therapeutic effect is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment simplicityVSAvoidtherapeutic effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a single compound (formula I) that can simultaneously inhibit multiple receptor tyrosine kinase pathways including VEGFR, PDGFR, and FGFR. This multi-functional approach allows one drug molecule to target multiple disease-relevant kinases, thereby improving therapeutic effect while maintaining treatment simplicity through single-agent therapy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple receptor tyrosine kinase pathways are targeted, then therapeutic effect is improved, but compound complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidcompound complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple kinase inhibition functions into a single compound structure (formula I). By combining multiple pharmacophore elements within one molecular framework, the invention achieves simultaneous inhibition of VEGFR, PDGFR, and FGFR pathways without requiring combination therapy, thus improving therapeutic effect while avoiding the complexities of multiple drugs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If multiple receptor tyrosine kinase pathways are targeted, then therapeutic effect is improved, but development complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoiddevelopment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-designing the compound structure (formula I) with multiple kinase binding capabilities built-in from the outset. Rather than developing separate inhibitors for each pathway and combining them later, the invention预先 incorporates multiple inhibition functions into a single molecular design, simplifying the overall drug development process while achieving multi-pathway therapeutic effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
