This invention provides a vascular protecting agent having salt-absorption inhibitory activity with the use of alginate oligosaccharide salt absorbed by the body via degradation to an oligosaccharide, so that a patient can easily and safely ingest such agent on a routine basis. A vascular protecting agent having salt-absorption inhibitory activity comprises, as an active ingredient, alginate oligosaccharide obtained by treating sodium alginate with amicroorganism or a processed product thereof and/or a salt thereof.

Vascular protecting agent having salt-absorption inhibitory activity

Disclosed is a composition comprising, as an active ingredient, an enzyme digest that is produced by digesting a basic fraction of an animal-derived cartilage extract with an enzyme. Also disclosed is a polypeptide composition comprising, as an active ingredient, at least one polypeptide selected from specific polypeptides including a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence depicted in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Composition effective to prevent or treat adult disease

The present invention provides an oral preventive or therapeutic agent for skin damage, containing diacylglyceryl ether as an active ingredient represented by the formula (I): wherein Rdenotes Caliphatic hydrocarbon group having a degree of unsaturation of between 0 and 2; Rdenotes Cacyl group having a degree of unsaturation of between 0 and 6; and Rdenotes Cacyl group having a degree of unsaturation of between 0 and 6.

Oral preventive/therapeutic agent for skin damage containing diacylglyceryl ether

The present invention relates to aliphatic compounds of the formula I, or stereoisomers thereof, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts:wherein A represents an optionally substituted CHCH&#x2014; (wherein n denotes an integer of 4 to 22, and m represents an unsaturation number which is an integer of 0 to 7), l represents an integer of 0 to 10, s represents 0 or 1, provided that when s is 0, p+q=4 or 5, but when s is 1, p+q=3 or 4, and in each case, either p or q is an integer of 1 or more, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may be straight-chain or branched-chain, and Rrepresents hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may be straight-chain or branched-chain, and their use in suppression of platelet aggregation, in suppression of inflammation, and in prevention and treatment of circulatory diseases.
