Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases lack effective compounds that inhibit the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2 family proteins, which are associated with tumorigenesis, chemoresistance, and various pathologies.

Innovation Solution

Development of new phosphate compounds with specific pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties that inhibit anti-apoptotic activity, including compounds of formula (I) and their metabolites, which are administered to optimize in vivo exposure and enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current treatments are used for cancer and autoimmune diseases, then existing therapeutic options are maintained, but effective inhibition of anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2 family proteins is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidinhibition of anti-apoptotic activity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of Bcl-2 family protein inhibitors through phosphate group substitutions and variations in the heterocyclic core structure. This enables the compounds to effectively inhibit anti-apoptotic activity while achieving improved therapeutic efficacy in cancer and autoimmune diseases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If phosphate compounds of formula (I) are administered to optimize in vivo exposure, then therapeutic efficacy is enhanced, but compound complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidcompound structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by systematically varying the phosphate group substitutions (different metal cations M1+, M2+, M32+) and heterocyclic core structures to optimize in vivo exposure and therapeutic efficacy while managing compound complexity through structured molecular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
