The present invention provides a medicament for neurodegenerative diseases comprising zonisamide or an alkali metal salt thereof as an active ingredient. The present medicament can be used in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, choreic syndrome and dystonic syndrome in mammals (including human).

Remedy for neurodegenerative diseases

Medicament for the treatment of cerebral insufficiency diseases comprising as an active ingredient a compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein n is 3, 4, 5 or 6; R.sup.1 is hydrogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl, hydroxy-C.sub.2 -C.sub.6) alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted aryl, heteroaryl, unsubstituted or substituted aryl-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted aryl-carbonyl-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl, or acyl; R.sup.2 is hydrogen atom, halogen atom, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, or trifluoromethyl; and R.sup.3 is hydrogen atom or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, or an acid addition salt thereof, novel 2-(1-piperazinyl)-4-phenyl-cycloalkanopyrimidine derivatives having excellent cerebral function improving activity, processes for the preparation thereof.
