Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If new solid state forms (polymorphs, co-crystals, salts) of Tavapadon are developed, then stability and bioavailability are improved, but the complexity of the formulation process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidformulation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by developing multiple solid state forms (polymorphs, co-crystals, salts) of Tavapadon with different physical and chemical parameters. Each form exhibits distinct properties such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability, allowing optimization of formulation performance through selection of appropriate solid state forms rather than modifying the entire formulation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by creating co-crystals of Tavapadon with co-formers, forming composite solid state structures that combine Tavapadon molecules with other molecular entities. These co-crystals provide improved stability and bioavailability while maintaining a manageable formulation process through well-defined crystalline structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If new solid state forms of Tavapadon are developed, then bioavailability is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by developing different solid state forms (polymorphs, co-crystals, salts) with optimized dissolution and absorption parameters. These forms exhibit improved bioavailability through enhanced solubility and dissolution rates, while the manufacturing process remains relatively simple by using established crystallization and purification techniques

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces co-formers as intermediary substances that form co-crystals with Tavapadon. These co-formers act as mediators to improve the bioavailability of Tavapadon by creating solid state forms with favorable dissolution properties, while the co-crystallization process uses standard pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
