The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for dementia comprising a pharmaceutically active substance derived from

Therapeutic agent for dementia

An anticancer composition containing a flowery portion of elm tree or its extract and a leaf portion of varnish tree or its extract is safe and shows high activity.

Anticancer composition

A medicinal plant-derived antiviral powder is provided as obtained by collecting a medicinal plant having an antiviral action, immediately quickly heating the plant to de-activate enzymatic activity, subjecting to low temperature drying, and milling after the quick heating or low temperature. The powder may be extracted with hot water or a lower alcohol to obtain antiviral extract. These powder and extract may be utilized as preparations, particularly, a powder, comprising an effective amount thereof The powder and extract obtained by treating, as a medicinal plant, young leaves of,and a flower portion of,are useful.

Low toxicity of the reverse transcriptase inhibitor of this invention allows it being successfully applied to pharmaceuticals with a potent activity at a low dose, foods and beverages.

Reverse transcriptase inhibitor

Disclosed are a dye having a structural formula (I): ##STR1## where n is form 1 to 15, and a solution containing the dye. The dye is highly stable and has a characteristic color hue, and it is insoluble in water. The dye is expected to be useful in various fields of coating materials, dyes, cosmetics and food additives.
