Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional parasiticides are ineffective in exterminating certain animal parasites, necessitating a composition with enhanced parasiticidal activity.

Innovation Solution

A composition containing aromatic carboxamide derivatives, specifically represented by Formula (1), which includes phenyl groups, halogen atoms, and heptafluoroisopropyl groups, is developed to effectively exterminate animal parasites.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional parasiticides (imidacloprid, fipronil) are used, then they can control some pests, but they are ineffective against certain animal parasites

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparasiticidal activityVSAvoidspectrum of effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of conventional parasiticides by introducing specific substituents (halogen atoms at positions Y1, Y5; heptafluoroisopropyl group at Y3; phenyl groups at Q1) to enhance parasiticidal activity against previously resistant parasites while maintaining effectiveness against target pests

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite molecular structure combining multiple functional groups (amide derivatives with specific aromatic substitutions) to achieve broad-spectrum parasiticidal activity that encompasses both insect control and anti-parasite effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If existing amide derivatives are used for pest control, then they show insecticidal activity, but they lack demonstrated parasiticidal activity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparasiticidal activityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces specific local substitutions on the aromatic rings (halogen atoms at Y1, Y5 positions and heptafluoroisopropyl group at Y3 position) to confer parasiticidal activity while maintaining the core amide derivative structure for insecticidal function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
