Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for compounds that modulate RORγ activity to treat diseases mediated by RORγ, such as autoimmune disorders and inflammatory conditions, as existing treatments are inadequate.

Innovation Solution

Development of substituted tetrahydroquinolinone compounds that act as RORγ modulators, specifically targeting RORγ to regulate its activity and reduce IL-17 production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing treatments are used for RORγ-mediated diseases, then treatment options are limited, but therapeutic effectiveness is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectivenessVSAvoidtreatment options
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically modifying chemical structures of tetrahydroquinolinone compounds through varying substituents at different positions (R1-R7 groups). This structural parameter optimization enables the development of compounds with improved RORγ modulatory activity, directly addressing the inadequate therapeutic effectiveness of existing treatments while maintaining structural versatility for multiple disease applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If new RORγ modulator compounds are developed, then therapeutic benefits are improved, but compound structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic benefitsVSAvoidcompound structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs segmentation by dividing the tetrahydroquinolinone core structure into distinct functional regions with specific substituent positions (R1-R7). Each position can be independently optimized with specific functional groups, allowing systematic improvement of therapeutic benefits while maintaining a manageable modular structure that simplifies synthesis and characterization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning specific functional groups to specific positions on the tetrahydroquinolinone ring system. For example, particular substituents at R2, R6, or R7 positions are optimized to enhance RORγ binding affinity or selectivity, thereby improving therapeutic benefits without requiring complex overall molecular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
