Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an acetyl group), which we have named 'the adenophostins', and, have the ability to increase intracellular calcium ion concentrations by acting on the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP.sub.3) receptors which exist in the endoplasmic reticulum. The adenophostins are useful as hypertensive agents. They can be prepared by cultivation of a microorganism of the genus Penicillium, e.g. Penicillium brevicompactum SANK 11991 (FERM BP-3499) or Penicillium brevicompactum SANK 12177 (FERM BP-3500).

An apparatus for measuring arterial elasticity includes a cuff member having a light source and light detector, a variable pressure generating device, a fluid pressure sensor, a digital signal processor and a difference detecting element. The fluid pressure in a fluid pressure chamber in the cuff member is varied by a variable fluid pressure generating device. The digital signal processor responds to the output of the fluid pressure sensor and the output of the difference detecting element and delivers a digitally processed signal corresponding to an arterial volume change based on a simulated arterial elasticity. The arterial elasticity and the frequency characteristic thereof are derived based on the operation of the digital signal processor.
