Solution Overview

Problem

Current therapies lack effective solutions for reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress, which is linked to various diseases such as diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer, and for modulating the activity of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) to restore cellular homeostasis.

Innovation Solution

Administration of a compound of Formula I, or its enantiomers, diastereomers, or isotopic variants, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs, which are quinoline derivatives, to treat or prevent symptoms of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related diseases by reducing stress and modulating SERCA activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current therapies are used, then treatment of various diseases can be provided, but effective reduction of endoplasmic reticulum stress and modulation of SERCA activity cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of therapyVSAvoidability to reduce ER stress and modulate SERCA
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by developing a series of quinoline derivative compounds with varying chemical structures (Formula I with different R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 substituents) to optimize their ability to reduce ER stress and modulate SERCA activity. This systematic variation of molecular parameters allows the compounds to effectively address diseases linked to ER stress while providing the specific therapeutic action that current therapies lack.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If ER stress is reduced and SERCA activity is modulated, then cellular homeostasis can be restored, but specific therapeutic agents capable of achieving this were previously unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecellular homeostasisVSAvoidavailability of therapeutic agents
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the therapeutic approach into specific quinoline derivative compounds with defined chemical structures (Formula I). These segmented molecular entities can be individually synthesized, characterized, and optimized for reducing ER stress and modulating SERCA activity, making the therapeutic agent accessible and manufacturable while achieving the desired restoration of cellular homeostasis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
