Solution Overview

Problem

Existing peptides for skin improvement face challenges such as poor tissue penetration and short half-life, limiting their effectiveness in promoting collagen synthesis and enhancing skin barrier function.

Innovation Solution

A peptide with a specific amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) is synthesized, which can be chemically modified for stability and specificity, and formulated into cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions to enhance skin penetration and promote fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, and skin barrier factors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing peptides are used for skin improvement, then collagen synthesis promotion and fibroblast proliferation are achieved, but tissue penetration is poor and half-life is short

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness in promoting collagen synthesisVSAvoidhalf-life
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the amino acid sequence parameters of the peptide to create a novel sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) that achieves both effective collagen synthesis promotion and extended half-life. The specific parameter changes in the peptide structure enable improved tissue penetration and stability while maintaining biological activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the peptide with specific carriers or delivery systems to create a composite formulation that enhances tissue penetration and extends the peptide's half-life. This composite approach allows the peptide to maintain its collagen-synthesis-promoting activity while overcoming its inherent limitations of poor penetration and short duration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Duration of action of moving object

If peptide structure is modified for stability, then half-life is extended, but tissue penetration may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehalf-lifeVSAvoidtissue penetration rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent carefully balances the amino acid sequence parameters to achieve optimal half-life extension without compromising tissue penetration. The specific modifications in SEQ ID NO: 1 are designed to enhance stability while preserving the peptide's ability to penetrate skin tissue effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces carrier molecules or delivery vehicles as intermediaries that facilitate tissue penetration of the modified peptide. These intermediaries protect the peptide structure during delivery while enabling effective penetration into target tissues, thus resolving the contradiction between stability modifications and penetration capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If existing peptides are applied to skin, then some collagen synthesis is promoted, but skin barrier function enhancement is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollagen synthesis rateVSAvoidskin barrier function
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the peptide with multi-functional capabilities, where SEQ ID NO: 1 simultaneously promotes collagen synthesis and enhances skin barrier function. This universal peptide structure addresses multiple skin improvement needs in a single formulation, rather than requiring separate treatments for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite formulation that includes the peptide along with additional components that work synergistically to enhance both collagen synthesis and skin barrier function. The composite nature of the formulation allows simultaneous achievement of multiple skin improvement goals that single-component peptides cannot achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
