Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for promoting dopamine production, neuronal extension, and resistance against amyloid β are limited in effectiveness and diversity, necessitating the development of novel substances that can enhance brain function and protect neurons from degeneration.

Innovation Solution

A neuron activator comprising 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanates or their glycosides, combined with unsaturated fatty acids like DHA and polyphenols such as curcumin and isorhamnetin, which act as dopamine production promoters, neuron extension promoters, and amyloid β resistance enhancers, respectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional pharmaceuticals are used to inhibit neuron damage and degeneration, then neuron protection is achieved, but the effectiveness and diversity of treatment are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveneuron protection effectivenessVSAvoidtreatment diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple previously separate substances (6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate, unsaturated fatty acids, and polyphenols) into a single composition that works synergistically. This merging approach provides both enhanced effectiveness through combined action and maintains treatment diversity by integrating multiple active components with different mechanisms of action into one versatile formulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite pharmaceutical composition containing four types of substances with different chemical structures and mechanisms: isothiocyanates, unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, and amino acids. This composite approach allows the formulation to address multiple aspects of neuron protection simultaneously, improving both effectiveness and treatment versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If natural materials like rosemary, rice bran, ginkgo leaf, curcumin, and astaxanthin are used, then brain function improvement is achieved, but the substances lack coordinated synergistic action

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrain function improvementVSAvoidsubstance coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple natural substances into a coordinated composition where each component serves a specific function. The 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate promotes dopamine production, unsaturated fatty acids provide membrane structure and anti-inflammatory effects, polyphenols offer antioxidant protection, and amino acids support neurotransmitter synthesis. This merging creates synergistic action that improves brain function while maintaining manageable complexity through defined roles for each component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
