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:
The effective ingredient of the agent for renal failure of the present invention is an oxaluric acid derivative having an excellent suppressive effect of the progression of renal failure. The oxaluric acid derivatives of the present invention have an excellent suppressive effect of the progression of renal failure to inhibit significantly the increase of creatinine level in blood accompanied by the progression of renal failure. The compounds of the present invention have highly safety with little side effects, so that they are very useful as an agent for renal failure which is required to be administered for long term.
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.
摘要:
There is provided a method for study, determination or evaluation of a disease condition due to SART stressing or a pharmacological activity, for example an analgesic activity, an autonomic imbalance-ameliorating activity or an anti-stress activity, of a test substance at the gene level. It is a method for study, determination or evaluation of a pharmacological activity of a test substance, especially an analgesic activity, an autonomic imbalance-ameliorating activity, or an anti-stress activity at the gene level by comprehensively analyzing the change in gene expression in a neural tissue after administration of a test substance in a SART-stressed animal. The method enables exploration of the substance that is effective against painful diseases, stress-related diseases, autonomic-imbalance or the like, determination and evaluation of efficacy of the substance, or analysis of a target gene of the substance

The synthesis of collagen and proteoglycan in chondrocytes, such as intervertebral disc cells, articular chondrocytes and meniscal cells is promoted by administration of an extract from inflamed tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus.
摘要:
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:
(R)-(+)-5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin is an optically active substance having an excellent suppressive action of the progression of renal failure. At an administration to a model animal of renal failure, (R)-(+)-5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin significantly suppresses an increase of creatinine in blood as compared with the S-form and the racemate, and shows an excellent suppressive action to the progression of renal failure by improving creatinine clearance. Thus, (R)-(+)-5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin is useful as a highly-active agent for renal failure.
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.
