PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ginkgo leaf extract which does not contain ginkgolic acid, contains conventional ginkgo leaf extract active ingredients, and exhibits a remarkable effect for activating brain cells. SOLUTION: This composition having a brain function-activating effect contains nano fine particle ginkgo leaf extract as an active ingredient. The ginkgo leaf extract not containing ginkgolic acid and produced by a breakdown method for crushing ginkgo leaf extract powder by a combination of a dry method with a wet method. The nano fine particles are ≤100 nm fine particles. The composition has a form selected from the group consisting of a seasoning, a food additive, a food raw material, a food, a drink, a health food, a health drink, a medicine/quasi drug, and a feed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new medicine for decreasing the proliferation of tumor cells. SOLUTION: The present invention is directed to a medicine using the extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves or isolated ginkgolide B (GKB), a component of the extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves in a method for decreasing the expression of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) in cells of a patient in need thereof. Further, the present invention is directed to the use of the extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves or isolated GKB in a method of decreasing cancer cell proliferation in a patient, wherein the cancer cell is human breast cancer cell. Even more particularly, the present invention is directed to the use of the extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves or isolated GKB in method of decreasing cancer cell proliferation in a patient wherein the cancer cell is of the infiltrating and invasive phenotype and expresses high levels of PBR in comparison to non-invasive cancer cell.
