Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current understanding of NAD biology is used, then basic NAD function is maintained, but pharmacologic intervention capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepharmacologic intervention capabilityVSAvoidbasic NAD function
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces NAD+ modulating compounds as intermediary substances that bridge the gap between current NAD biology understanding and desired therapeutic outcomes. These compounds serve as mediators that can safely adjust NAD+ levels without disrupting fundamental NAD functions, enabling pharmacologic intervention while maintaining reliability of basic NAD biology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying intracellular NAD+ concentration levels through administered compounds. By controlling the concentration parameter of NAD+ in cells, the invention enables pharmacologic intervention capability while maintaining the reliability of basic NAD functions through regulated parameter adjustment rather than fundamental changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If NAD+ levels are increased in cells, then therapeutic benefits are achieved, but complexity of compositions increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing NAD+ modulating compounds that can serve multiple functions: they increase intracellular NAD+ levels for therapeutic benefit while also being compatible with various active pharmaceutical ingredients. This multi-functionality reduces overall composition complexity by using a versatile core compound rather than requiring separate specialized components for each therapeutic effect.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines NAD+ modulating compounds with active pharmaceutical ingredients into integrated pharmaceutical compositions. This merging approach achieves therapeutic benefits through the combined action of increasing NAD+ levels while incorporating disease-specific active ingredients, thereby reducing the need for separate complex treatment regimens and simplifying the overall therapeutic composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
