Solution Overview

Problem

Existing crystalline forms of 7-Cyclopentyl-2-(5-piperazin-1-yl-pyridin-2-ylamino)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid dimethylamide succinate, such as those described in WO 2010/020675 and WO2012/064805, do not fully address the need for stable and effective pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting cyclin dependent kinases and modulating glycogen synthase kinase-3, particularly in treating various cancers.

Innovation Solution

Development of new crystalline forms, including Modification E, Modification F, Modification HB, and Modification HA, which are anhydrous, hemisuccinate, and dihydrate forms of ribociclib succinate, providing stable pharmaceutical compositions for effective kinase inhibition and modulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing crystalline forms of ribociclib succinate are used, then the basic pharmacological activity is achieved, but the stability and efficacy are insufficient for optimal treatment outcomes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability and efficacyVSAvoidpharmaceutical composition effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by discovering and characterizing multiple new crystalline forms (Modifications E, F, HB, HA) with distinct physical and chemical parameters including water content, crystalline structure, and stability characteristics. Each modification represents a specific parameter state that optimizes different aspects of pharmaceutical performance, allowing selection based on specific treatment requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by creating pharmaceutical compositions that combine ribociclib succinate in specific crystalline forms with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers, and diluents. These composite formulations leverage the enhanced stability and efficacy of the new crystalline forms while incorporating additional components to optimize delivery, bioavailability, and therapeutic effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If new crystalline forms with varying concentrations and purity levels are developed, then treatment outcomes are improved, but the complexity of pharmaceutical compositions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment outcomesVSAvoidpharmaceutical composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the pharmaceutical development into distinct crystalline form modifications (E, F, HB, HA), each with specific characteristics and optimal applications. This segmentation allows systematic evaluation and selection of the most appropriate form for specific therapeutic indications, managing complexity through structured classification rather than treating all forms as a single undifferentiated category

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If crystalline forms are developed for inhibiting cyclin dependent kinases and modulating glycogen synthase kinase-3, then the pharmacological activity is achieved, but the stability for long-term treatment is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepharmacological activityVSAvoidstability for long-term treatment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-optimizing the crystalline structure of ribociclib succinate before pharmaceutical formulation and administration. The new crystalline forms are specifically designed and characterized in advance to possess enhanced stability properties, ensuring that the compound maintains its pharmacological activity and structural integrity throughout storage and long-term treatment periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
