摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases comprising one or more effective component(s) of a PAR-2 activating agent which is able to activate PAR-2 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention further relates to a method for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases comprising administration of a composition for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases containing a PAR-2 activating agent which is able to activate PAR-2 to patients suffering from kidney diseases, and also relates to the use of a PAR-2 activating agent which is able to activate PAR-2 for the manufacture of a composition for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for screening an effective ingredient for prevention and treatment of kidney diseases comprising screening of the activating action of the test substance to PAR-2.
摘要:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition by a novel action mechanism without serious side effects for delayed hypersensitivity and a screening method of the same. The invention also provides a novel assay method of inhibitors/suppressive agents of PAR-2. The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for delayed hypersensitivity containing one or two or more active ingredients selected from the group consisting of inhibitors of PAR-2 and suppressive agents of PAR-2 gene expression and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and to a method for screening active ingredients for pharmaceutical composition for delayed hypersensitivity by contacting a subject substance with cells expressing PAR-2 and by determining expression or activity of PAR-2. The invention also relates to a method for detecting or quantifying actions of the subject substance for PAR-2 using cells expressing PAR-2 in a culture containing inositol.

The present invention is directed to a preventive and therapeutic agent for kidney diseases containing as its active component a compound of the following formula (1): ##STR1## (wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, and R.sup.6, which may be identical to or different from one another, represents a lower alkoxyl group, and each of A and A', which may be identical to or different from each other, represents a lower alkylene group); an acid addition salt thereof; or a hydrate of the compound of formula (1) or of the acid addition salt thereof. This compound is useful for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases, as it exhibits excellent preventive and therapeutic effect against acute renal failure, potent inhibitory effect against ischemia-reperfusion disorder in the kidney, and suppressed toxicity.
摘要:
The present invention is intended to clarify the relationship between PAR-2 and cerebral infarction and thereby provide an efficient method of preventing and treating cerebral infarction, as well as a pharmaceutical composition therefore. Namely, the present invention relates to a method of preventing and treating cerebral infarction by activating PAR-2 and/or promoting expression of PAR-2 gene. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating cerebral infarction, comprising one, or two or more of the active ingredients selected from the group consisting of a PAR-2 activator and/or a PAR-2 gene expression promoter; as well as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. It further relates to a method of screening an active ingredient for preventing and treating cerebral infarction using as an indicator the PAR-2 activation promoted by a test substance.
