Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need for compounds that selectively inhibit TIPARP with high potency and selectivity while minimizing the inhibition of other PARP enzymes to avoid systemic cytokine production and side effects.

Innovation Solution

Development of compounds of Formula (I) with specific structural features, including L, R1, R2, R3, R4, and Z, which exhibit high potency and selectivity for TIPARP inhibition, reducing off-target effects on other PARP enzymes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If compounds are designed to inhibit TIPARP with high potency, then anti-tumor immune response is enhanced, but off-target inhibition of other PARP enzymes occurs causing systematic cytokine production and side effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselectivity for TIPARPVSAvoidinhibition of PARP1 and PARP2
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing specific structural features at particular positions of the compound molecule. The substituents R1-R6 are positioned at specific locations on the core structure, with each position having defined chemical group options that collectively achieve TIPARP selectivity while minimizing off-target effects on other PARP enzymes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically varying chemical parameters such as substituent types (R1-R6), linkage structures (L1-L6), and molecular configuration to optimize the balance between TIPARP inhibition potency and selectivity. This includes adjusting hydrophobicity, steric bulk, and electronic properties at different molecular positions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If compounds inhibit TIPARP at low concentrations, then therapeutic efficacy is improved, but off-target activity on other PARP enzymes increases causing side effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconcentration for TIPARP inhibitionVSAvoidsystematic cytokine production
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by designing compounds that achieve sufficient TIPARP inhibition at therapeutic concentrations without excessive inhibition of other PARP enzymes. The molecular structure is optimized to provide just enough affinity for TIPARP to achieve therapeutic effect while maintaining selectivity that prevents off-target effects at clinically relevant doses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
