摘要:
The present invention provides a means for efficiently preparing a cell population rich in functional chondrocytes that produce an extracellular matrix such as type II collagen. This culture method according to the present invention involves a method of culturing a cell population containing cartilage-derived cells positive for expression of Tie2 (cartilage-derived Tie2-positive cells), the method comprising culturing a cell population containing cartilage-derived Tie2-positive cells in a culture medium containing at least one kind of Tie2 expression enhancer other than growth factors (e.g., an extract derived from a plant of the genus Cinnamomum). This culturing method is preferably performed in cultureware having a culture surface coated with a coating agent (e.g., a polylysine-containing agent).

An object is to provide a drug which is useful in treating a nervous system disease. A drug containing vitamin B 12 as an active ingredient according to the present invention has an M2 macrophage/microglia induction promoting effect, an M1 macrophage/microglia induction inhibiting effect, a nerve regeneration promoting effect, and the like and is very useful as a therapeutic agent for a nervous system disease, and particularly useful as a therapeutic agent for a central nervous system disease such as cerebral infarction, dementia, or spinal cord injury.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an agent for promoting expression of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase that contains an extract from inflamed tissues inoculated with vaccinia virus. The present invention demonstrated that the extract from inflamed tissues inoculated with vaccinia virus promotes the expression of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase in intervertebral disc cells. Thus, the extract from inflamed tissues inoculated with vaccinia virus or a preparation containing the extract is useful as an agent for promoting the expression of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase in intervertebral disc cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel prostaglandin derivative having an alkynyl group on ω-chain, particularly, a novel prostaglandin derivative having a double bond at the 2-position and an alkynyl group on the ω-chain and a medicament containing the compound as an active ingredient. According to the present invention, a compound represented by the formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
wherein each symbol is as defined in the present specification, or a cyclodextrin clathrate compound thereof, and a medicament containing the compound as an active ingredient, particularly, a medicament for the prophylaxis or treatment of a blood flow disorder associated with spinal canal stenosis or chronic arterial occlusion, can be provided.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a novel tetrahydroazepine compound and a process for producing the same. The present invention relates to a tetrahydroazepine compound represented by the formula (10) or a salt thereof, and a process for producing the said compound or a salt thereof.
(In the formula, R 1 is an optionally substituted alkyl group, R 2 is an optionally substituted alkyl group and one of the X-Y bond and the Y-Z bond is a carbon-carbon double bond and the other is a carbon-carbon single bond.)
摘要:
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:
The present invention provides a cinnamic acid amide derivative having an excellent analgesic action. The cinnamic acid amide derivative of the present invention is a compound showing excellent analgesic actions to not only a nociceptive pain model animal but also a neuropathic pain model animal, which is very useful as an agent for treating various pain diseases showing acute or chronic pains or neuropathic pains.
