Disclosed is a novel therapeutic means against interferon-resistant hepatitis C. Specifically disclosed are: a pharmaceutical composition for treating interferon-resistant hepatitis C, which is characterized by comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of an &#x3c9;-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the fatty acid and an ester of the fatty acid as an active ingredient; and a method for utilizing the pharmaceutical composition.

Therapeutic agent for hepatitis C

The present invention relates to novel cephalosporin derivatives, processes for preparing thereof, compositions for preventing and/or treating infectious diseases which comprise the novel cephalosporin derivatives as active components, and the intermediate compounds in the synthesis of cephalosporin derivatives and processes for producing thereof. The novel cephalosporin derivatives according to the present invention contain condensed heterocyclic groups, particularly a triazolopyrimidine ring or a thiadiazolopyrimidine ring as substituents at the 3-position of the cephem skeleton, and a hydroxyimino, an alkyloxyimino or an acyloxyimino moiety as substituents at the 7-position of the cephem skeleton. The compounds of the present invention containing the aforementioned substituents have a strong antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria and also against gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. These compounds are extremely useful for the treatment of infectious diseases.

The present invention relates to novel cephalosporin derivatives, processes for preparing thereof, compositions for preventing and/or treating infectious diseases which comprise the novel cephalosporin derivatives as active components, and the intermediate compounds in the synthesis of cephalosporin derivatives and processes for producing thereof. The present invention is based on the selection of groups containing a condensed heterocyclic ring, particularly a triazolopyrimidine ring or a thiadiazolopyrimidine ring, as substituents at the 3-position of the cephem skeleton, and of groups containing a catechol moiety, particularly a catechol carboxymethyloxyimino moiety or a catechol carboxyimino moiety, as substituents at the 7-position of the cephem skeleton. The compounds of the present invention containing the aforementioned substituents have a strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and also against Gram-positive bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. These compounds are extremely useful for the treatment of infectious diseases.

This invention provides a human leucocyte pepsin-like enzyme and a therapeutic agent and method for treating allergic disorders, immune complex diseases and tumors, the agent containing the enzyme as an effective ingredient. The human leucocyte pepsin-like enzyme of this invention is a protein of human origin and, therefore, a therapeutic agent containing said enzyme as an effective ingredient shows extremely little adverse reactions such as anaphylaxis and thus is highly safe.

Human leucocyte pepsin-like enzyme as a therapeutic agent for treating

A therapeutic agent for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases which contains as the effective component at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 5-hydroxydecanoic acid, a salt thereof, an ester thereof and .delta.-decalactone, which is a lactone of 5-hydroxydecanoic acid.

Therapeutic composition and method for treatment of cardiovascular

Therapeutic agent for the treatment of allergic disorders, immune complex diseases and tumors, which contains a human urinary acid protease as an active ingredient, and a method for treating allergic disorders, immune complex diseases and tumors by administering the said acid protease, which has never been used as a therapeutic agent for allergic disorders, immune complex diseases and tumors. Since the acid protease is a protein of human origin, the probability of adverse reactions such as anaphylactic shock due to the antigenicity of the acid protease is believed to be extremely small.

Method for treatment of allergic disorders and immune complex diseases

There are provided a pharmaceutical composition having an effect to control phagocytic function, which comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of human pepsin and/or a human leukocyte pepsin-like enzyme and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a therapeutic method using said composition. The pharmaceutical composition is useful for treatment of infectious diseases, gout and arteriosclerosis.

Composition for treating infectious diseases, gout or arteriosclerosis

Target Cell Lysis Factor (TCLF) is produced by exposing a human cell line capable of producing TCLF to a TCLF inducer to induce TCLF production, and collecting and purifying the accumulated TCLF. The TCLF which is produced includes lymphotoxin and human Tumor Necrosis Factor (hTNF). The hTNF may be separated and purified. The human cell lines are preferably human leucocyte and human lymphoblastoid lines, such as BALL-1, TALL-1, NALL-1 Namalwa, MOLT-3, Mono-1, M-7002, B-7101, JBL, EBV-Sa, EBV-Wa, EBV-HO, BALM 2, CCRF-CEM, DND-41 and CCRF-SB, as well as human cell lines which are obtainable by transforming normal human monocytes, or granulocytes. All of these human cell lines are multipliable by implanting them in a non-human warm-blooded animal, or alternatively, allowing them to multiply in a conventional-type diffusion chamber by which the nutrient body fluid of a non-human warm-blooded animal is supplied to them.

Process for producing target cell lysis factor and uses therewith

A glycoprotein obtained from the cells of human or non-human warm-blooded animals having an anti-tumor effect and characterized by the following properties:
