Solution Overview

Problem

Homeopathic formulations using complete proteins pose a higher risk profile, necessitating the development of alternative formulations that provide similar benefits with a lower risk profile.

Innovation Solution

The development of highly diluted formulations using amino acid segments, each with a peptide sequence similar to a portion of a longer peptide sequence found in naturally occurring materials, which are mixed with a diluting agent and serially diluted to create a homeopathic remedy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If complete proteins are used in homeopathic formulations, then therapeutic benefits are achieved, but risk profile increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectivenessVSAvoidrisk profile
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides complete proteins into smaller amino acid segments (peptides of 2-20 amino acids). This segmentation maintains the therapeutic benefits of the original protein while reducing the risk profile by eliminating potential contaminants and immunogenicity concerns associated with whole proteins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts specific amino acid sequences from complete proteins to create isolated peptide segments. This extraction process removes harmful components while retaining the beneficial therapeutic effects of the active amino acid sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If amino acid segments are used instead of complete proteins, then risk profile is reduced, but formulation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk profileVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using specific amino acid segments with particular sequences (2-20 amino acids) that are tailored to target specific therapeutic effects. This localized approach allows for customized formulations that address specific health conditions while maintaining simplicity in the overall formulation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A formulation of a diluted amino acid fragment is prepared by mixing an amino acid fragment and a diluting agent to form a mixture. The mixture is serially diluted to produce a diluted formulation. The amino acid fragment includes a peptide sequence that is the same as a portion of a longer peptide sequence found in a naturally occurring material. A homeopathic remedy can be prepared using the formulation.
