摘要:
Therapeutic or preventive agents for diseases requiring apoptosis induction, cancerous diseases, diseases requiring the inhibition of active oxygen production, those requiring the inhibition of nitrogen monoxide production, those requiring the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, those requiring the inhibition of synovial cell proliferation, those requiring the induction of heat shock protein production or those requiring the inhibition of α-glycosidase, which contain as the active ingredient compounds selected from among compounds represented by general formula (I), (wherein X and Y are each H or CH 2 OH, provided that when X is CH 2 OH, Y is H, while when X is H, Y is CH 2 OH), those represented by general formula (II), (wherein R is a residue obtained by freeing a compound having an SH group from the SH group) and salts of both; and foods, drinks, cosmetics and so on, containing compounds selected from among compounds of general formula (I), those of general formula (II) and salts of both.
摘要:
5-Membered ring compounds represented by general formula (I), optically active isomers thereof or salts of the same. These compounds have physiological activities including a carcinostatic effect. In said formula the bond shown by the dotted line in the 5-membered ring represents that this 5-membered ring may be either a cyclopentene ring having a double bond or a saturated cyclopentane ring, and when the 5-membered ring is a cyclopentene ring, X is OR 1 , Y is =O and Z is H, and when it is a cyclopentane ring, X is =O, Y is OR 2 and Z is OR 3 , (wherein R 1 is R 4 or -(CO)-R 5 ; R 2 is H, -R 6 or -(CO)-R 7 ; and R 3 is H, R 8 or (CO)-R 9 (wherein R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 and R 9 are the same or different and each represents an aliphatic, aromatic or aliphatic aromatic group, and R 5 , R 7 and R 9 may be each H), provided that the case where R 2 =R 3 =H is excluded); and W represents a residue obtained by eliminating SH from an SH-containing compound.
摘要:
Medicinal compositions for treating, ameliorating or preventing diseases with sensitivity to 3,6-anhydrogalactopyranose represented by formula (1): foods, drinks, cosmetics, etc. containing as the active ingredient at least one member selected from the group consisting of the above-mentioned compound, its aldehyde, its hydrate and 2-O-methylated derivatives thereof and soluble sugar compounds containing the above compound. This compound also shows, for example, an apoptosis-inducing activity, a carcinostatic activity and inhibitory activities on the production of active oxygen, lipid peroxide radicals and NO, which makes it useful also as the active ingredient of antioxidants and preservatives.
