Pyrazole Derivatives Inhibiting PARP Activity

Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for diseases mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) lack effective inhibitors that can specifically target and modulate its activity, leading to uncontrolled enzyme activation and subsequent cellular damage or apoptosis.

Innovation Solution

Development of a compound of general formula (I) and its derivatives, which are designed to inhibit PARP activity by reacting specific compounds to form a pharmaceutical composition that can be administered to inhibit PARP enzymatic functions, thereby treating conditions associated with excessive PARP activation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If PARP is activated to repair DNA damage, then cell survival and chromosome stability are improved, but excessive PARP activation consumes NAD and ATP leading to cell energy deficiency and apoptosis

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops compounds that modulate PARP activity by changing the enzymatic parameter state, preventing excessive activation while maintaining necessary repair functions. The compounds alter the activation threshold and activity level of PARP, ensuring it operates within optimal energy-consuming ranges that support DNA repair without depleting cellular NAD and ATP reserves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a regulatory feedback mechanism where the compounds monitor and respond to PARP activation levels. When DNA damage occurs, the compounds allow appropriate PARP activation for repair, but when activation becomes excessive and threatens cellular energy balance, the compounds intervene to suppress further activation, thus preventing the harmful feedback loop of uncontrolled PARP activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If current treatments are used for PARP-mediated diseases, then disease management is attempted, but effective inhibition of PARP activity is not achieved leading to uncontrolled enzyme activation

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces compound (I) as an intermediary substance that mediates between the disease state and PARP enzyme activity. These compounds specifically bind to PARP or its regulatory elements, acting as molecular mediators that translate therapeutic intent into controlled enzyme inhibition, thereby preventing uncontrolled activation while maintaining necessary physiological functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The compounds change the kinetic and regulatory parameters of PARP activity, altering substrate binding affinity, catalytic rate, or allosteric regulation characteristics. This parameter modification enables precise control over PARP activation thresholds and activity levels, achieving effective disease treatment while preventing harmful uncontrolled enzyme activation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
