Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for primary mitochondrial myopathies, fatty acid oxidation disorders, glycogen storage diseases, muscular dystrophies, and other metabolic disorders lack effective therapies to improve mitochondrial function and patient outcomes.

Innovation Solution

Administration of the PPARδ agonist compound sodium (E)-2-(4-((3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(4-(3-morpholinoprop-1-yn-1-yl)phenyl)allyl)oxy)-2-methylphenoxy)acetate (Compound II) to enhance fatty acid oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and oxidative phosphorylation, thereby improving exercise tolerance and reducing symptoms in affected mammals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional treatments are used for primary mitochondrial myopathies and metabolic disorders, then current standard of care is maintained, but effective therapy to improve mitochondrial function and patient outcomes is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of PPARδ agonists to optimize their therapeutic properties. Compound II features specific structural modifications including a fluorophenyl group, morpholinoprop-1-yn-1-yl substituent, and allyl linkage that enhance binding affinity and selectivity for PPARδ, thereby improving mitochondrial function and patient outcomes in metabolic disorders

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If PPARδ agonist Compound II is administered to enhance fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis, then exercise tolerance and mitochondrial function are improved, but the complexity of the chemical compound structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise toleranceVSAvoidcompound structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex PPARδ agonist molecule into distinct functional segments: a fluorophenyl group for receptor recognition, a morpholinoprop-1-yn-1-yl group for metabolic modulation, and an allyl-phenoxyacetic acid core structure. This modular architecture allows each segment to contribute specifically to the overall therapeutic effect while maintaining synthesizability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies composite materials by combining multiple chemical moieties with complementary functions into a single hybrid molecule. Compound II integrates aromatic rings, alkyne linkages, heterocyclic groups, and carboxylic acid derivatives to create a composite molecular structure that achieves enhanced PPARδ agonism and improved clinical outcomes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
