Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for diseases associated with receptor-interacting protein-1 (RIP1) kinase are inadequate, as RIP1 plays a central role in inflammatory diseases and necroptotic cell death, and existing therapies fail to effectively inhibit RIP1.

Innovation Solution

Development of compounds with a specific Formula I structure, which include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, N-oxides, tautomers, hydrates, solvates, isotopes, and prodrugs, designed to inhibit RIP1 kinase activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Reliability

If existing therapies are used to treat RIP1-associated diseases, then treatment is provided, but the therapies fail to effectively inhibit RIP1 kinase activity

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing novel chemical compounds with specific molecular structures (Formula I) that optimize binding affinity to RIP1 kinase. The compounds feature varied substituent groups (R1-R6, Ra-Re, Rf) and structural parameters (m, n, p) that are systematically modified to enhance inhibitory potency and selectivity against RIP1, directly addressing the insufficient inhibition efficacy of existing therapies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by creating complex multi-component molecular structures combining heteroaryl rings (ring B), linker groups (L, Z), and various substituent moieties. These composite chemical structures integrate multiple functional groups that work synergistically to achieve effective RIP1 kinase inhibition, overcoming the limitations of simpler existing therapeutic agents

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If novel compounds with Formula I structure are developed to inhibit RIP1, then RIP1 kinase inhibition is achieved, but the complexity of compound structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveRIP1 inhibition efficacyVSAvoidcompound structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the inhibitor molecule into distinct functional modules: a core heteroaryl ring (ring B), linker regions (L and Z), substituent groups (R1-R6), and optional pharmaceutically acceptable components. This modular segmentation allows systematic optimization of each component's contribution to RIP1 binding while maintaining overall molecular manageability and facilitating structure-activity relationship studies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent achieves universality by designing a platform compound structure (Formula I) that can accommodate multiple different substituent variations and pharmacophores while maintaining the core RIP1 inhibition mechanism. This universal scaffold approach enables the development of a series of analogs with optimized properties for different therapeutic applications targeting RIP1-associated diseases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
