摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for radiation damage that has a novel mechanism of action and can prevent and alleviate a wide range of symptoms of radiation damage for which no therapeutic measures have been available so far, and moreover, is highly safe to humans. A preventive and/or therapeutic agent for radiation damage comprising a compound represented by the following formula (I) such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) or a salt thereof as an active ingredient can be used to improve the survival rate, improve body weight reduction, and alleviate hematopoietic disorder: (wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group; and R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group).

Provided is an antimalarial drug which is useful for prevention and treatment of infectious diseases caused by malaria parasites. A preventive and/or therapeutic agent for malaria, which contains, as an active ingredient, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a derivative thereof, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, is used.
摘要:
The object of the present invention to provide an agent effective for treating and preventing e.g. a disease caused by reduction in frataxin production. The present invention provides a frataxin enhancer comprising 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or a derivative thereof or salts thereof, as well as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for a disease caused by reduction in frataxin production.
摘要:
Provided is a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for influenza viral infection that is effective not only before and at an early stage of infection with influenza virus but also at an intermediate or late stage of the infection and is highly safe for human bodies. A prophylactic/therapeutic drug for influenza viral infection comprising, as active ingredients, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a derivative thereof or a salt of the 5-ALA or the derivative, and an iron compound is prepared. This prophylactic/therapeutic agent can be used for ameliorating (preventing) depression in food consumption, water consumption and body weight, for ameliorating (decreasing) increase in ketone body levels in blood that may otherwise cause ketosis, for ameliorating (preventing) depression in ATP levels in blood, or for ameliorating (increasing) a survival rate and depression in a body surface temperature.
摘要:
It is intended to provide an in vitro culture medium that allows the in vitro culture of fertilized eggs to progress normally to the blastocyst stage without arresting the development thereof. The normal development rate of a fertilized egg is improved by using 5-aminolevulinic acids represented by the following formula (I) (wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group, and R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group) or salts thereof as an agent for improving a normal development rate of a fertilized egg.
摘要:

摘要:
Problem to be Solved An agent for ameliorating chronic kidney disease which is not an existing symptomatic therapeutic drug for chronic kidney disease, and which can increase the eGFR value and can improve renal function per se is provided. Solution An agent for ameliorating and/or preventing chronic kidney disease containing 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or a derivative thereof, or a salt thereof as an active ingredient is prepared. Preferably, a metal-containing compound such as sodium ferrous citrate is contained in these ALAs. As the above-mentioned ALAs, ALA; various esters such as ALA methylester, ALA ethylester, ALA propylester, ALA butylester, and ALA pentylester; and hydrochlorides, phosphates, and sulfates, and the like of these ALA esters can be preferably exemplified.
