Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing compounds are used for controlling harmful arthropods, then the control function is provided, but the efficacy is not adequate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveefficacyVSAvoidcontrol effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of existing arthropod control compounds by changing molecular parameters - specifically introducing a heterocyclic ring system with nitrogen atoms at defined positions (A1-A4) and substituting specific groups (R1-R6, R7-R12) with various functional groups. This structural parameter change results in enhanced biological efficacy while maintaining the core control function against harmful arthropods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite molecular structure combining a heterocyclic core (pyrimidine or pyridine ring) with specific substituent groups (R1-R12 representing various functional groups). This composite molecular design integrates multiple functional elements to achieve superior arthropod control efficacy compared to single-structure compounds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If compound structure is simplified, then ease of manufacture is improved, but efficacy may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesynthesis simplicityVSAvoidefficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the molecular structure into distinct segments: a core heterocyclic ring system (A1-A4) and substituent groups (R1-R12). This segmentation allows for modular synthesis where the core structure can be formed first and then various substituents can be attached through standardized coupling reactions, balancing structural complexity with manufacturability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The heterocyclic core structure (pyrimidine or pyridine ring with nitrogen atoms at specific positions) serves as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple different substituent groups (R1-R12). This multi-functionality allows a single core structure to generate multiple active compounds with different efficacies against specific arthropod pests, improving ease of manufacture by reusing the same core synthesis pathway.

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