PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composition for differentiating and maturing a neurocyte, to provide a method therefor, the neurocyte obtained by the method and a method for search for the composition. SOLUTION: The composition differentiates the non-neurocyte into the neurocyte and/or matures the non-neurocyte into the neurocyte and/or thereby treats neuropathic diseases or suppresses the malignant alteration thereof. The composition comprises a low-molecular substance having the ability to differentiate the non-neurocyte into the neurocyte without treating the non-neurocyte with a cell division inducer and/or mature the neurocyte without treating the neurocyte with the cell division inducer and having merely the toxicity within a pharmaceutical tolerance as an active ingredient. The method for differentiating the non-neurocyte into the neurocyte comprises bringing the composition, as necessary after activation, into contact with the non-neurocyte and differentiating the non-neurocyte into the neurocyte without treating the non-neurocyte with the cell division inducer. The neurocyte is obtained by the method. The method for search for the composition comprises bringing the low-molecular substance having merely the toxicity within the pharmaceutical tolerance, as necessary after activation, into contact with the non-neurocyte or neurocyte without being treated with the cell division inducer and examining the presence or absence of differentiation of the non-neurocyte into the neurocyte and/or maturation of the neurocyte.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new preventive or therapeutic agent for stroke or sequelae of stroke. SOLUTION: The preventive or therapeutic agent for stroke or sequelae of stroke contains a compound selected from 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid, its prodrug and pharmaceutically permissible salts and hydrates of those as a main ingredient. For example, 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid hydrochloride-hydrate suppresses 90% onset of stroke in 50 mg/kg dose which corresponds to ≤1/100 acute toxicity. In the case of onset of stroke, the sequelae are slight. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new agent for the treatment of diseases caused by nerve cell degeneration, etc., its active component, a method for the preparation of the active component, and a substance and technique necessary for the method. SOLUTION: It has been found that a compound selected from salvianolic acid B, its optical or geometrical isomer having an action similar to salvianolic acid B, their prodrugs, pharmacologically permissible salt and hydrate of the above compounds and their prodrugs has an action to effect the proliferation and/or differentiation of a neural stem cell while protecting the neural stem cell or its differentiated cell. The finding induces the development of an agent acting on the neural cell and containing these substances as active components, a method for acting on the neural cell by using the acting agent, a method for the preparation of liquid containing neural cell and produced by using the acting method, a liquid containing neural cell and produced by using the preparation method, and an agent for the treatment of diseases caused e.g. by neural cell degeneration by using the acting agent and/or the liquid containing the neural cell as active components.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medicine composition and a health food for preventing or treating hypertension, hyperlipemia, and diabetes. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a composition containing the raw or dried product or extract of Morus plants, Lotus plants, Crataegus plants, and Salvia plants, and to a medicine composition and a health food for preventing or treating hypertension, hyperlipemia, and diabetes. The composition, the medicine composition and the health food control the elevations of blood pressure, total plasma cholesterol concentration, triglyceride concentration, and blood glucose level, and prevents or treats the hypertension, hyperlipemia, and diabetes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new preventing or treating medicine of cerebral stroke or the late sequela of the stroke. SOLUTION: This preventing or treating medicine is provided by containing salvianolic acid B, its prodrug, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or hydrates as main components. For example, the salvianolic acid B suppresses the onset of the cerebral stroke by 30 % by the administration of once daily, 5 times a week and 22.5 mg/kg per one time, and even having the onset of the cerebral stroke, the late sequela is moderate.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a nerve trunk cell proliferation agent, to provide a method for proliferating a nerve trunk cell using the proliferation agent, to provide a nerve trunk cell-containing liquid proliferated by the method, and to provide a therapeutic agent for a neurological disease containing the nerve trunk cell-containing liquid or the proliferation agent as an active ingredient. SOLUTION: This nerve trunk cell proliferation agent contains a compound selected from salvianolic acid B, an optical or geometrical isomer thereof having nerve trunk cell proliferation action similar to that of the salvianolic acid B, a prodrug thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound or the prodrug, and a hydrate thereof as an active ingredient, wherein the compound has the nerve trunk cell proliferation action and the action is imparted to the proliferation agent. The method for proliferating the nerve trunk cell uses the proliferation agent. The nerve trunk cell-containing liquid is obtained by the method. The therapeutic agent for the neurological disease contains the cell-containing liquid as the active ingredient. Further, the therapeutic agent for the neurological disease contains the proliferation agent as the active ingredient and is based on a mechanism of the nerve trunk cell proliferation action.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new migration promoter to an injured site of a neuronal precursor cell, and an expression promoter of a migration-promoting factor gene of astrocyte. SOLUTION: The migration promoter and the expression promoter of the migration-promoting factor gene contain a compound selected from baicalin, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and hydrates thereof as a main component. The baicalin or the like increases the migration to the astrocyte of the neuronal precursor cell so as to be 1.5 times (p=0.012) more than that of a control group, and the migration of NPC so as to be 2.5 times more than the control group. Further, the baicalin or the like increases the mRNA of VEGF so as to be 2.7 times and the mRNA of MCP-1 so as to be 8.2 times more than those of the control group. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
