Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for ophthalmic diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are inadequate in effectively preventing or reversing choroidal and retinal neovascularization, retinal edema, and other related conditions that lead to significant vision loss.

Innovation Solution

Development of cyclic peptide derivative compositions that modulate nervous system cell activity, specifically targeting diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration, through compounds represented by specific structural formulas and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or prodrugs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional treatments are used for ophthalmic diseases, then current standard therapies are applied, but they are inadequate in effectively preventing or reversing choroidal and retinal neovascularization and retinal edema

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of treatmentVSAvoidchoroidal and retinal neovascularization, retinal edema
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the chemical structure of peptide compounds to create cyclic peptide derivatives with specific molecular configurations (Formula 1 and Formula 2 structures). These structural parameter changes enhance the compounds' ability to inhibit VEGF and other angiogenic factors, thereby effectively preventing and reversing choroidal and retinal neovascularization and retinal edema that conventional treatments fail to address

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by formulating cyclic peptide derivative compounds in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, and adjuvants to create composite pharmaceutical compositions. These composite formulations improve drug delivery, stability, and bioavailability, enabling effective treatment of ophthalmic diseases through optimized compound-delivery system integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If new cyclic peptide derivative compositions are developed, then effectiveness against neovascularization and edema is improved, but treatment complexity and development requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in preventing neovascularization and edemaVSAvoidtreatment composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing cyclic peptide derivative compounds with broad-spectrum activity against multiple angiogenic factors including VEGF, bFGF, and PDGF. The compounds demonstrated in Formula 1 and Formula 2 structures can simultaneously target multiple pathways involved in neovascularization and edema formation, providing multi-functional treatment that addresses various aspects of ophthalmic diseases with a single agent, thereby improving effectiveness without proportionally increasing treatment complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
