Solution Overview

Problem

Current tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) face challenges such as patient intolerance, adverse events, and development of resistance due to BCR-ABL1 kinase domain mutations, necessitating improved treatment strategies.

Innovation Solution

A novel BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) of Formula I is administered orally with dose escalation or de-escalation to achieve hematologic responses without severe adverse reactions, targeting adult patients with CML in various phases, including chronic, accelerated, and blast phases, and Ph+ ALL, with specific dose ranges and pharmacokinetic parameters to optimize efficacy and safety.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used to treat CML, then hematologic response is achieved, but patient intolerance and severe adverse events occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehematologic responseVSAvoidadverse events
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of TKI compounds (Formula I with specific R1-R6 substituents) to alter pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. This structural modification achieves improved therapeutic index by maintaining anti-leukemic efficacy while reducing adverse events through optimized molecular parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If TKI dosage is increased to improve hematologic response, then disease control improves, but severe adverse reactions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease controlVSAvoidsevere adverse reactions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by establishing optimized dosage ranges (10-210 mg daily) and pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC0-24: 6226-60373 ng*h/mL, Cmax: 664-5054 ng/mL) that achieve effective disease control while avoiding toxicity. The specific compound structure enables this dosage optimization through improved therapeutic window

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics through flexible dose escalation and de-escalation strategies that adapt treatment intensity to individual patient response and tolerance. This dynamic dosing approach allows optimization of therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse reactions based on real-time patient status

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Duration of action of stationary object

If TKI treatment is continued long-term to maintain disease response, then sustained hematologic response is achieved, but treatment-emergent adverse events and secondary malignancies develop

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesustained hematologic responseVSAvoidtreatment-emergent adverse events
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying TKI chemical structure (Formula I) to achieve improved long-term safety profile. The specific molecular parameters and pharmacokinetic characteristics enable sustained efficacy with reduced cumulative toxicity and lower risk of secondary malignancies compared to prior TKIs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Reliability

If BCR-ABL1 kinase domain mutations occur during TKI treatment, then TKI binding is impaired, but disease progression continues

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveTKI bindingVSAvoiddisease progression
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by designing compound Formula I with specific substituent patterns (R1-R6) that enhance binding affinity and resistance to common BCR-ABL1 mutations. The molecular parameter optimization maintains effective TKI binding even in presence of kinase domain mutations, preventing disease progression

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
