Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for conditions related to sex hormone levels, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, menorrhagia, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and infertility, often have side effects and do not effectively modulate hormone secretion to address these conditions.

Innovation Solution

A peptide with an amino acid sequence similar to SEQ ID NO: 1, acting as a GnRH agonist, is used in a pharmaceutical composition to modulate hormone secretion, which includes a peptide with a sequence identity of at least 80% with SEQ ID NO: 1 or its fragments, to treat and prevent diseases related to sex hormone levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
