Solution Overview

Problem

Current therapies for cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, are inadequate in halting or slowing disease progression and often come with undesirable side effects, while existing treatments for depression also pose significant risks, including suicidal tendencies.

Innovation Solution

Cyclic Prolyl Glycine (cPG) and its analogues, which promote neurogenesis and neuronal regeneration, are administered to treat and prevent cognitive impairment, neurodegenerative disorders, and depression by stimulating the formation of new neurons and glial cells, and modulating intracellular signaling pathways.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current therapies for cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disorders are used, then disease progression can be treated, but undesirable side effects occur and effectiveness in halting or slowing progression is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in halting disease progressionVSAvoidundesirable side effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameter by using cyclic Prolyl Glycine and its analogues instead of conventional therapies. These compounds promote neurogenesis and neuronal regeneration through unique mechanisms that differ from existing treatments, achieving better effectiveness in halting disease progression while minimizing side effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The cyclic Prolyl Glycine compounds act as intermediaries that modulate intracellular signaling pathways to promote neurogenesis. They serve as mediators between external treatment and cellular responses, enabling therapeutic effects through controlled activation of neurogenic pathways without the harsh side effects of conventional therapies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If existing treatments for depression are used, then depressive symptoms can be addressed, but significant risks including suicidal tendencies occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidsuicidal tendencies and significant risks
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the approach by using compounds that promote neurogenesis and neuronal regeneration, transforming the treatment mechanism from one that manages symptoms to one that actively repairs and regenerates neural tissue. This converts a potentially harmful symptom-management approach into a beneficial regeneration-based therapy that reduces suicidal tendencies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The treatment changes the fundamental parameter from symptom management to neural regeneration. Cyclic Prolyl Glycine and its analogues alter the therapeutic parameter by promoting the formation of new neurons and glial cells, addressing the root cause rather than merely managing depressive symptoms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If conventional therapies are used for cognitive impairment, then some symptoms can be managed, but they are inadequate in promoting neuronal regeneration and cognitive recovery

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecognitive function recoveryVSAvoidability to promote neuronal regeneration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by promoting neurogenesis and neuronal regeneration before significant cognitive decline occurs. Cyclic Prolyl Glycine and its analogues prepare and protect neural tissue by stimulating the formation of new neurons and glial cells in advance, preventing rather than just treating cognitive impairment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The treatment changes the therapeutic parameter from symptom management to active neuronal regeneration. The cyclic Prolyl Glycine compounds directly stimulate neurogenesis and promote the regeneration of damaged neurons, fundamentally altering the approach from managing cognitive symptoms to actively recovering neural function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
