Seawater Extract Activating Agent for Anti-Infectious Potency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing compositions that inhibit or destroy unicellular organisms can cause irritation and have limited potency, especially when used in human or animal applications, and often require high doses of active ingredients, which can lead to adverse side effects.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an extract made from dehydrated and partially sodium-free seawater as an activating agent in compositions containing anti-infectious agents like grapefruit seed extract, enhancing their potency and reducing the required doses of active ingredients, thereby minimizing side effects and increasing efficacy against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If high doses of active ingredients are used to enhance anti-infectious potency, then the effectiveness against microorganisms is improved, but adverse side effects and irritation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces seawater extract as an intermediary substance that mediates between the active ingredient and the biological system. This extract contains trace elements and bioactive compounds that enhance the anti-infectious potency of the active ingredient while reducing its toxicity and irritating effects, thus resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and safety
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the composition by adding seawater extract containing 83 known elements in specific concentrations. This parameter modification allows the system to achieve higher anti-infectious potency at lower doses of active ingredients, thereby reducing side effects while maintaining or improving effectiveness
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the concentration of active ingredient is reduced to minimize side effects, then safety is improved, but the potency to inhibit or destroy infections decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The seawater extract serves as a catalytic intermediary that amplifies the biological activity of low concentrations of active ingredients. The extract contains elements that facilitate the mechanism of action of the active ingredient, allowing potent anti-infectious effects at reduced doses that minimize adverse side effects
Solution Approach 2:
The seawater extract provides self-service by containing essential trace elements and bioactive compounds that automatically enhance the activity of the active ingredient without requiring additional complex formulation components. The extract naturally facilitates the anti-infectious mechanism through its compositional properties
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The addition of the seawater extract significantly increases the bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal activity of anti-infectious agents, allowing for reduced doses of active ingredients, minimizing adverse effects, and providing a harmless alternative for use in human, animal, and environmental applications.
Implementation Method 1
such a compound only has by itself a minor potency to inhibit or destroy an infection and it only has a catalytic effect towards the anti-infectious agents used
