Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If different crystalline forms of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor are used, then the drug can be provided with specific physical properties, but the in vivo dissolution and absorption are affected, impacting clinical efficacy and safety

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrystalline form stabilityVSAvoidclinical efficacy and safety
Core Design Contradiction:
