Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for hypoxia-related pathologies, such as cancer and ischemic heart disease, are limited in effectively inhibiting the function of the hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF) transcription factor, which plays a critical role in hypoxic conditions.

Innovation Solution

Development of novel solid-state forms of the HIF inhibitor Compound 9 and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which bind to the CH1 domain of the transcription co-activator p300/CBP, preventing the assembly of critical co-activator proteins on the HIF transcription complex during hypoxia.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing novel solid-state forms of Compound 9 with specific crystalline structures (Forms 1-4 with distinct XRPD patterns). These solid-state modifications enhance the compound's solubility, stability, and bioavailability, thereby improving its effectiveness in inhibiting HIF function while maintaining a manageable treatment complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite pharmaceutical compositions containing Compound 9 in specific solid-state forms combined with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. These composite materials optimize drug delivery and effectiveness for treating hypoxia-related pathologies while providing a structured approach that manages treatment complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If Compound 9 binds to the CH1 domain of p300/CBP to prevent co-activator assembly, then HIF activity is effectively inhibited, but the complexity of the molecular mechanism increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveHIF activity inhibitionVSAvoidmolecular mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by isolating and targeting a specific component (the CH1 domain of p300/CBP) within the larger HIF transcription complex. By designing Compound 9 to specifically bind this domain, the invention effectively disrupts co-activator assembly and HIF activity without requiring complex multi-target mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses Compound 9 as an intermediary molecule that mediates the disruption between HIF and its co-activators. The compound acts as a molecular bridge that binds to the CH1 domain of p300/CBP, preventing the natural interaction between HIF and co-activators while maintaining a relatively simple single-molecule mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
