Solution Overview

Problem

Current thyroidal compounds used for treating thyroid disorders and weight conditions cause thyroid gland atrophy, leading to diminished effectiveness over time, and existing therapeutic agents for estrogen-sensitive conditions often stimulate unwanted tissue growth and increase cancer risk.

Innovation Solution

Administration of glutaurine or its derivatives, such as salts, esters, and functional derivatives, which increase T3 levels while decreasing estrogen levels, thereby promoting weight loss, maintaining muscle mass, and restoring normal thyroid function without causing thyroid atrophy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If thyroidal compounds (T3, T4, diiodothyronine) are administered to treat thyroid disorders and increase metabolism, then weight loss and energy expenditure are improved, but thyroid gland atrophy occurs due to negative feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetabolism and energy expenditureVSAvoidthyroid gland atrophy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces glutaurine as an intermediary substance that mediates between thyroid hormone administration and thyroid gland function. Glutaurine acts as a protective agent that prevents atrophy while allowing thyroidal compounds to maintain their metabolic effects, thus resolving the contradiction between improving metabolism and preventing gland damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical and functional parameters of the therapeutic system by combining thyroidal compounds with glutaurine. This parameter change allows the system to achieve high metabolic activity without the harmful negative feedback that causes atrophy, as glutaurine modifies the pharmacological profile of the treatment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If estrogen is administered to treat estrogen-sensitive conditions, then therapeutic effects are achieved, but unwanted tissue growth and cancer risk increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidunwanted tissue growth and cancer risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses glutaurine as an intermediary that modifies the action of estrogenic substances. Instead of directly administering estrogen, the composition combines glutaurine with estrogenic agents to achieve therapeutic effects while preventing the harmful stimulation of estrogen-sensitive tissues, thus resolving the contradiction between therapeutic reliability and cancer risk

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potentially harmful effect of estrogenic stimulation into a beneficial outcome by using glutaurine to selectively modulate estrogen activity. The composition achieves therapeutic effects in estrogen-sensitive conditions while preventing unwanted tissue growth, effectively transforming a harmful substance into a safe and effective treatment

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