Solution Overview

Problem

Current compositions fail to effectively accentuate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of fullerenes, which are desirable for biological applications.

Innovation Solution

A pharmaceutically acceptable formulation comprising C60, serrapeptase, and a tetrapeptide (such as ALA,GLU,ASP,GLY) or dipeptide (like L-carnosine or L-carnitine) suspended in lipids like olive or mussel oil, administered to inhibit or ameliorate inflammation and associated maladies in mammals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fullerenes are used in biological compositions, then antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are achieved, but the compositions fail to effectively accentuate these properties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-inflammatory propertyVSAvoideffectiveness of antioxidant property
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines fullerene (C60) with specific peptides (tetrapeptide ALA,GLU,ASP,GLY or dipeptide L-carnosine/L-carnitine) and serrapeptase to create a composite formulation. This composite approach enhances the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of fullerene by synergistic interactions between the components, resolving the contradiction between achieving these properties and effectively accentuating them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical and biological parameters of fullerene by combining it with specific peptide sequences and enzymes. This parameter change transforms the basic fullerene properties into an enhanced formulation with amplified antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, addressing the contradiction between having these properties and effectively demonstrating them.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If C60 is administered alone, then simple composition is maintained, but anti-inflammatory effectiveness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomposition simplicityVSAvoidanti-inflammatory effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges C60 with specific peptides (tetrapeptide ALA,GLU,ASP,GLY or dipeptide L-carnosine/L-carnitine) and serrapeptase into a single formulation. This combining approach maintains relative simplicity while significantly enhancing anti-inflammatory effectiveness through the synergistic interaction of the merged components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

By creating a composite material system comprising C60, peptides, and serrapeptase, the patent achieves enhanced anti-inflammatory effectiveness without excessive complexity. The composite structure allows the components to work together synergistically, improving reliability while maintaining manageable formulation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If peptide combinations are added to C60 formulation, then anti-inflammatory properties are enhanced, but formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-inflammatory propertyVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by selecting specific peptide sequences (tetrapeptide ALA,GLU,ASP,GLY or dipeptide L-carnosine/L-carnitine) that have particular anti-inflammatory properties. This targeted approach enhances anti-inflammatory effectiveness while limiting formulation complexity to only the necessary components required for the therapeutic effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by incorporating specific peptide molecules with defined amino acid sequences. This parameter change enhances anti-inflammatory properties while maintaining formulation complexity at acceptable levels, as the added complexity is precisely targeted rather than comprehensive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
