Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of composite preparations that effectively combine mosapride and rabeprazole without interfering with their dissolution patterns or causing side effects, which are essential for treating digestive issues like diabetic gastropathy and peptic ulcers.

Innovation Solution

A composite preparation is developed with a core tablet structure containing rabeprazole surrounded by a mosapride outer layer, or in the form of enteric-coated tablets and pellets, to ensure rapid and controlled drug release, improving bioavailability and stability while reducing excipient amounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a composite preparation of mosapride and rabeprazole is developed, then drug compliance and economic benefits are improved, but dissolution pattern changes and side effects may occur due to drug interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrug complianceVSAvoiddissolution pattern stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the composite preparation into distinct spatial segments: an inner core containing rabeprazole and an outer layer containing mosapride. This segmentation physically separates the two drugs, preventing direct interaction while maintaining their individual dissolution patterns and efficacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested structure where the rabeprazole-containing inner core is enclosed within the mosapride-containing outer layer. This nesting arrangement allows both drugs to be delivered in a single preparation while maintaining separate dissolution environments, thus preserving reliability while improving compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If a composite preparation combines multiple drugs, then therapeutic efficacy is improved, but the amount of excipient increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidexcipient amount
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two separate drug preparations into a single composite tablet structure, combining rabeprazole and mosapride in one dosage form. This merging reduces the total excipient amount compared to providing separate tablets, as the excipients are shared across the unified structure while maintaining both therapeutic efficacies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If a core tablet structure with rabeprazole inner core and mosapride outer layer is used, then drug release control is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrug release rate controlVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming the rabeprazole inner core and mosapride outer layer as separate components before assembling them into the final composite tablet. This allows each layer to be optimized for its specific drug release characteristics while simplifying the overall manufacturing process through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
