Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for cancer, asthma, senile dementia, psoriasis, and age-related macular degeneration often have limited efficacy and multi-target therapeutic options, with existing drugs having side effects and not fully addressing the complexities of these diseases.

Innovation Solution

An artificially synthesized peptide H-473 with the amino acid sequence RGLRGLR, which interferes with specific receptors and cytokines involved in these diseases, demonstrating significant inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth, asthma symptoms, acetylcholinesterase expression, psoriasis-related protein down-regulation, and vascular proliferation in age-related macular degeneration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If monoclonal antibodies are used for targeted therapy, then therapeutic effect is improved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic effectVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive monoclonal antibodies with small molecule peptides (7-10 amino acids) that are cheaper to produce, have shorter half-lives, and can be administered more frequently at lower costs while maintaining therapeutic efficacy through multi-target inhibition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the molecular parameters from large protein structures (monoclonal antibodies) to small peptide molecules (7-10 amino acids), altering pharmacokinetic properties including shorter half-life, smaller molecular weight, and different tissue penetration characteristics to achieve cost-effective therapy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If single-target drugs are used, then mechanism is simple, but therapeutic efficacy is limited for complex diseases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanism simplicityVSAvoidtherapeutic efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs small molecule peptides with multi-target inhibition capabilities, where a single peptide can simultaneously bind to multiple receptors and cytokines involved in different disease pathways, providing broad-spectrum therapeutic effects for complex diseases like cancer, asthma, and autoimmune disorders

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the complex disease pathways into multiple targetable interaction points, using small peptides that can simultaneously interfere with multiple protein-protein interactions in parallel, thereby addressing the complexity of diseases through distributed multi-target inhibition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
