Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical treatments for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and other inflammatory and autoimmune disorders often have limited efficacy and may involve significant side effects, with a need for more effective and synergistic therapeutic approaches.

Innovation Solution

The development of fixed-dose combination compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of cannabinoids, such as CBD, and spilanthol, either as isolates or components of plant extracts or essential oils, which are administered together to achieve synergistic, additive, or potentiating therapeutic effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If single-agent therapies are used, then treatment simplicity is maintained, but therapeutic efficacy is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidtreatment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple active ingredients (cannabinoids and spilanthol) into a single fixed-dose combination composition, merging their therapeutic effects to achieve enhanced efficacy while maintaining simple administration as a single dosage form

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite therapeutic composition containing both cannabinoids and spilanthol in specific ratios, leveraging the synergistic properties of different chemical compounds to produce a therapeutic effect greater than individual components alone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If combination therapies are used, then therapeutic efficacy is enhanced, but treatment complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidease of administration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple medications into one fixed-dose combination product, allowing patients to administer a single dosage form that contains both cannabinoids and spilanthol in predetermined ratios, thereby simplifying the administration process while maintaining enhanced therapeutic efficacy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional treatments are used, then treatment protocol simplicity is maintained, but side effects are significant

Engineering Contradiction:
