Abstract:
A novel N-acyl-N-(substituted cinnamoyl)ethylenediamine derivative represented by general formula (I) and serving as an antiphlogistic and/or NGF production accelerator, (wherein R represents the acyl residue of a C16 or higher unsaturated fatty acid; R and R represent each independently hydrogen or lower alkyl; and n represents 1 or 2). This compound is expected to be usable as, for example, an antiphlogistic because it has the activities of O2 production inhibitor in human neutrophilic leukocytes and intracellular phospholipase A2 inhibition, and as a remedy for dementia, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, diabetic neuropathy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis because it has the activity of accelerating NGF production.
Abstract:
A mitomycin C derivative having an excellent activity of inhibiting non-receptor tyrosine kinases believed to participate in immune diseases, lowered in the selectivity for other protein kinases, and represented by chemical formula (I) wherein R represents a docosahexanoyl group; and medicines containing the same as the active ingredient, especially a non-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
