Solution Overview

Problem

Current approaches to maintaining and improving the texture of living tissue, such as human skin and connective tissue, primarily focus on structure enhancement but fail to effectively counteract degenerative processes that lead to tissue degradation.

Innovation Solution

A synergistic preparation combining inhibitors of collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase with stimulators of tissue matrix formation, activators of blood vessel function, and neurotropic substances to stabilize and form tissue texture, using terpenoids, phytoacid components, vascular-active substances, and B vitamins.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If only structure enhancement approaches are used, then tissue texture formation is improved, but degenerative processes are not effectively counteracted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetissue texture formationVSAvoidcounteraction of degenerative processes
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional components into a single preparation: A) collagenase/elastase inhibitors, B) tissue matrix formation stimulators, C) blood vessel function activators, and D) neurotropic substances. This merging of previously separate approaches creates a synergistic effect that simultaneously addresses both structure enhancement and protection against degenerative processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite pharmaceutical preparation integrating four distinct types of active ingredients with different mechanisms of action. This composite approach allows the preparation to function both as a structure-building agent and as a protective agent against degradation, resolving the contradiction between formation and protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If enzyme inhibitors are used alone, then tissue degradation is reduced, but tissue matrix formation is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetissue degradationVSAvoidtissue matrix formation
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges enzyme inhibitors (component A) with tissue matrix formation stimulators (component B) into a single preparation. This combination ensures that while degradation is blocked by inhibitors, simultaneous formation is promoted by stimulants such as blueberry extract, hibiscus extract, and other acidic substances, achieving both protection and construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If a single-component preparation is used, then the formulation is simple, but the effect on degenerative processes is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveformulation simplicityVSAvoideffectiveness against degenerative processes
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines four distinct functional components (A, B, C, D) into a single integrated preparation formulation. This merging maintains relative formulation simplicity while achieving comprehensive effectiveness through the synergistic interaction of multiple active ingredients targeting different aspects of tissue health.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The prepared formulation serves multiple functions simultaneously: it inhibits degradation enzymes, stimulates matrix formation, activates blood vessel function, and provides neurotropic support. This multi-functionality allows a single preparation to address various aspects of tissue degeneration and repair that would otherwise require separate treatments.

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

AI summary

The invention relates in particular to synergistically acting preparations for stabilising and forming the texture of living tissue, in particular human skin and the appendages thereof such as, for example, hair follicles and nail beds as well as connective tissue, wherein said preparations comprise a combination of at least 2, preferably 3, in particular 4 basic constituents A+B, A+B+C and/or D, namely A) inhibitors of the breakdown of the tissue matrix by collagenase, elastase and hyaluronidase, B) stimulators of the tissue matrix formation, C) activators of blood vessel function and D) activators of nerve function (neurotropic substances). Surprisingly, such a combination in a synergistic (effect-enhancing) manner can be used to counteract degenerative processes consistent with the breakdown/ restructuring of the tissue texture. Therefore such preparations are suitable for systemic and topical as well as combined systemic-topical administration, above all for improving the function and thus the appearance and the texture of skin and the appendages thereof (skin texture forming, skin texture engineering) of living tissue having an increased breakdown function caused by age, trauma or disease.
