摘要:
A sialic acid-bonded octapeptide represented by the following general formula (I): wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an acetyl group; and R′ represents a lower alkyl group, an aralkyl group, a hydrogen atom or an alkali metal atom, is herein desclosed. The peptide chain of the sialic acid-bonded octapeptide is constituted by 8 amino acid molecules on the C-terminus side of FTS and the compounds represented by formula (I) can be obtained by bonding sialic acid to the amino terminus of the peptide chain according to condensation. These octapeptides show excellent physiological activity comparable to FTS and a half life in blood longer than that of FTS and it is expected that the affinity of the peptide to lymphocytes is also enhanced. Thus they can effectively be used as medicines for treating the lowering and abnormality of functions of the thymus.
摘要翻译:由以下通式(I)表示的唾液酸键合八肽:其中R表示氢原子或乙酰基; R min表示低级烷基,芳烷基,氢原子或碱金属原子。 唾液酸键合的八肽的肽链由FTS的C末端侧的8个氨基酸分子构成,通过将唾液酸键合到肽链的氨基末端,可以得到式(I)所示的化合物, 冷凝。 这些八肽显示与FTS相当的优异的生理活性和血液中的半衰期比FTS更长,并且预期肽对淋巴细胞的亲和力也增强。 因此,它们可以有效地用作治疗胸腺功能降低和异常的药物。
摘要:
A medicament for prevention and remedy of disorders of decrease in the number of blood corpuscles such as leukocytes, reticuloctyes and thrombocytes (blood platelets) and the use of this medicament are disclosed. The medicament contains as an effective ingredient thereof a nonapeptide having the following amino acid sequence: pGlu-Ala-Lys-Ser-Gin-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn or an ester or an amide at the carboxyl group of the C-terminus of the asparagine or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof or a derivative thereof combined with a metal. This medicament is utterly non-toxic to human and animals and effective for prevention and remedy of disorders of decrease in the number of blood corpuscles such as leucocytes caused by administration of chemotherapeutics agents such as anti-cancer agents or accompanied by cancer or viral diseases.
