Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for inflammatory, autoimmune, and fibrotic diseases are inadequate, often causing systemic side effects and poor patient compliance due to inefficacy and adverse reactions, particularly with corticosteroids.

Innovation Solution

Development of PAN BET inhibitors, specifically soft BET inhibitors, which are administered topically or locally to target multiple inflammatory pathways, reducing cytokines and minimizing systemic side effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If corticosteroids are used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, then anti-inflammatory efficacy is improved, but systemic side effects increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-inflammatory efficacyVSAvoidsystemic side effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the treatment approach by using topical formulations that deliver BET inhibitors directly to the affected skin areas, rather than systemic corticosteroid administration. This localized delivery segmentates the therapeutic action from systemic exposure, maintaining anti-inflammatory efficacy at the target site while avoiding widespread systemic side effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies local quality by formulating BET inhibitors for topical application to specific affected areas. The drug is concentrated where needed (inflammatory lesions) rather than distributed systemically, creating high local efficacy while minimizing systemic harmful effects. The topical formulation ensures the drug acts locally on inflammatory pathways in the skin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If current treatments are used for inflammatory diseases, then disease control is improved, but patient compliance deteriorates due to adverse reactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease controlVSAvoidpatient compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention converts the limitation of topical application (potential for localized irritation) into a benefit by using BET inhibitors that specifically target inflammatory pathways without the broad immunosuppressive effects of corticosteroids. The harm of potent anti-inflammatory treatment is converted into benefit through selective mechanism of action that maintains efficacy while reducing adverse reactions, thereby improving compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the pharmacological parameter from corticosteroid-based immunosuppression to BET inhibitor-based transcriptional regulation. This parameter change maintains disease control efficacy while altering the side effect profile, making the treatment more acceptable to patients and improving long-term compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If topical treatments are used to minimize systemic effects, then systemic side effects are reduced, but treatment efficacy deteriorates for severe conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystemic side effectsVSAvoidtreatment efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies preliminary action by using topical BET inhibitors to prevent progression of inflammatory skin conditions before they become severe systemic diseases. Early intervention with localized treatment prevents the need for more aggressive systemic therapy, maintaining efficacy for moderate conditions while avoiding systemic side effects. The preliminary topical treatment addresses inflammation at the skin level before it escalates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
