Solution Overview

Problem

Current fungicides, such as 5-fluoro-4-imino-3-methyl-1-tosyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one, face challenges in providing effective control against various fungal pathogens in crops, particularly due to limitations in stability and solubility, which affect their efficacy and application methods.

Innovation Solution

Development of crystalline forms, including polymorphs, hydrates, and solvates of 5-fluoro-4-imino-3-methyl-1-tosyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one, characterized by distinct spectral characteristics, which are more stable and soluble, allowing for improved control of fungal attacks on plants by application to roots, seeds, or foliage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional fungicides are used, then fungal control is achieved, but stability and solubility are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidsolubility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by discovering and characterizing multiple polymorphic forms (Forms I, II, III, IV, V) and solvates (ethanol solvate, acetone solvate, isopropanol solvate) of the fungicide compound. Each polymorph and solvate exhibits distinct physical properties including solubility, stability, and crystalline structure, allowing selection of the optimal form for specific agricultural applications while maintaining the core fungicidal activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite material systems by formulating the fungicide in various crystalline forms combined with carriers and adjuvants. These composite formulations (emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, soluble concentrates, suspension concentrates) integrate the active ingredient in specific polymorphic forms with excipients that enhance solubility, stability, and delivery efficiency to crops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If fungicide application is increased to improve control, then fungal pathogen control improves, but crop quality and value may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefungal control efficacyVSAvoidcrop quality impact
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by developing targeted formulations that deliver the fungicide in optimized polymorphic forms to specific plant parts (foliage, roots, seeds) where fungal threats are most critical. This localized delivery ensures effective fungal control at application sites while minimizing unnecessary exposure and potential quality impacts on other crop portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs disposable application formulations (emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, soluble concentrates, suspension concentrates) that are designed for single-use application. These formulations provide effective fungal control during the critical growth period and are then naturally degraded or washed away, avoiding long-term accumulation that could affect crop quality.

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