Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If current cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients are used to address skin aging, inflammation, and oxidative stress, then some specific effects may be achieved, but sufficientscientific validation and broad-spectrum efficacy are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The peptide compound of the invention is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it protects telomeres from oxidative stress, exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by modulating cytokine production, and provides antioxidant protection. This multi-functional design allows a single compound to address multiple aspects of skin aging and related conditions, achieving broad-spectrum efficacy while maintaining scientific validity through controlled experimental validation of each function
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs a peptide compound with a specific composite amino acid structure (SEQ ID NO: 2) that integrates multiple functional moieties. The composite nature of the peptide, combining specific amino acid sequences with protective groups and modifications, enables it to simultaneously interact with multiple biological targets (telomeres, inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress markers), thereby achieving reliable broad-spectrum efficacy
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate ingredients are used to address different aspects of skin aging (telomere protection, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant), then comprehensive coverage may be achieved, but device complexity and formulation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the functions of multiple separate ingredients (telomere protectants, anti-inflammatory agents, and antioxidants) into a single peptide compound. This consolidation achieves comprehensive coverage of skin aging mechanisms while simplifying formulation complexity, as the single multi-functional peptide replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate active ingredients in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition
Solution Approach 2:
The peptide compound serves as a universal agent that simultaneously addresses telomere protection, inflammation modulation, and oxidative stress mitigation. This universality eliminates the need for complex multi-ingredient formulations, as one compound performs the roles of several, thereby reducing formulation complexity while maintaining comprehensive coverage

AI summary
The present invention refers to peptides which provide for the protection of telomeres, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and, hence, are useful in cosmetics for the prevention, reduction and/or treatment of inflammaging and skin aging as well as in medicine for the treatment of age-related diseases, inflammatory diseases and diseases related to oxidative stress; and in the food industry as nutraceuticals.
