摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel trans-2-decenoic acid derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and to provide a pharmaceutical agent which contains said compound as an active ingredient and has a highly safe neurotrophic factor-like activity or an alleviating action for side effect induced by administration of anti-cancer agents. The trans-2-decenoic acid derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which is the compound of the present invention is specifically represented by the formula (1): (In the formula, Y is —O—, —NR— or —S—, R is hydrogen atom, alkyl group, dialkylaminoalkyl group or the like and W is a substituent such as dialkylaminoalkyl group) and has a quite high usefulness as a pharmaceutical agent such as a preventive or therapeutic agent for dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, etc., a treating or repairing agent for spinal cord injury.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of histamine-added immunoglobulin substantially suppresses edema formation and an increase of vascular permeability of the blood-brain barrier. The histamine-added immunoglobulin may be administered with a high degree of safety and a low incidence of side effects. The histamine-added immunoglobulin and pharmaceutical compositions containing it may be used for treatment and prevention of edema, edema formation, and an increase of vascular permeability of the blood-brain barrier.

An object of the present invention is to provide an analgesic effective in a prophylactic or a therapy for various pain diseases. The present invention is to provide an analgesic containing an ester of C10 fatty acid as an active ingredient. The analgesic of the present invention containing the compound as an active ingredient is highly useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for various pain diseases such as the pain caused by osteoarthritis (e.g., knee osteoarthritis and hip osteoarthritis) or by demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Bareé syndrome.
摘要:
A highly safe therapeutic agent for intractable vasculitis such as malignant rheumatoid arthritis contains a hydantoin derivative represented by the formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an effective ingredient: wherein each of R1, and R2, which may be the same or different, represents hydrogen, an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group; and each of X and Y, which may be the same or different, represents hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, or X and Y together represent an oxo group. The hydantoin derivatives significantly suppress the generation of arthritis and arteritis (cutaneous ulcer and auricular infarcted necrosis) which are naturally developed in model animals (MRL/lpr), and further significantly elongate the survival rate of MRL/lpr mice. Consequently, the hydantoin derivatives, having low toxicity and little side effects are very useful as highly safe therapeutic agents for intractable vasculitis such as malignant rheumatoid arthritis.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a drug which is effective for prophylaxis or therapy of peripheral nerve disorder occurred as a side effect of the administration of anti-cancer agents.The present invention is to provide a drug containing an ester of C10 fatty acid as an active ingredient for prophylaxis or therapy of peripheral nerve disorder induced by administration of a drug containing at least one of anti-cancer agents. The drug of the present invention containing the compound as an active ingredient is highly useful as a drug for prophylaxis or therapy of peripheral nerve disorder induced by administration of anti-cancer agents.

摘要:
Activated immunoglobulin which is useful as an eosinophilia-suppressing agent, immunomodulating agent, therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases, anfiinflammatory agent and antiallergic agent is obtained by admixing immunoglobulin with a histamine component and then substantially or completely removing the histamine component. The histamine component may be removed or separated by dialysis, gel filtration, adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, or affinity chromatography. The method imparts pharmacological activity which is not inherently available in immunoglobulin of the natural type to immunoglobulin. The activated immunoglobulin of the present invention has an immunomodulating action which is clearly different from that of conventional immunosuppressive agents. It is useful as a therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases such as chronic rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematodes and multiple sclerosis as well as for various immunodeficiency syndromes wherein the immune system is not functioning properly. The activated immunoglobulin of the present invention may be also used as a pharmaceutical agent for eosinophilia caused by infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, diseases of respiratory organs, autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, etc. In addition, the product of the invention may be used as an excellent antiinflammatory agent and antiallergic agent, and so is highly useful as a pharmaceutical.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating autoimmune diseases in a mammal which comprises administering to the mammal an effective amount of at least one furanone derivative of the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, hydroxy, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkylene group; Y is hydrogen, hydroxy or a lower alkyl group; Z is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group or a lower hydroxyalkyl group; and the broken line represents the presence or absence of a second bond;or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
