Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for diseases associated with abnormal protein kinase and histone deacetylase activities, such as cancer, lack effective and selective inhibitors with low toxicity and high anti-tumor activity, particularly for solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

Innovation Solution

Development of naphthamide derivatives that selectively inhibit protein kinases and histone deacetylases, offering a combination of anti-angiogenesis, anti-proliferation, and immune modulation activities, thereby providing a more effective treatment for solid tumors while minimizing side effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional protein kinase inhibitors are used, then protein kinase activity is inhibited, but selectivity and anti-tumor activity are insufficient with high toxicity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselectivity and anti-tumor activityVSAvoidtoxicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies multi-functionality by designing naphthamide derivatives that simultaneously inhibit multiple protein kinases (including EGFR, VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR) and histone deacetylases, enabling a single compound to address multiple disease mechanisms and improve anti-tumor activity while maintaining selectivity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically modifying the chemical structure of naphthamide derivatives through varying substituents at different positions (R1-R6 groups), optimizing pharmacological properties to achieve enhanced selectivity and reduced toxicity while maintaining broad kinase inhibition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If multi-target inhibitors are developed, then anti-tumor activity is improved, but compound complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-tumor activityVSAvoidcompound structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the inhibitor into distinct functional modules: a core naphthamide scaffold providing HDAC inhibition, and various substituent groups (R1-R6) that can be independently optimized for specific kinase targets, allowing systematic design of multi-target inhibitors with controlled complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses multi-functionality where the naphthamide core structure serves multiple purposes: inhibiting HDAC enzymes, binding to multiple protein kinase families, and enabling selective pharmacological activity through substituent variation, thereby achieving high anti-tumor activity without proportionally increasing structural complexity

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