Use of coenzyme factor for activation of atp production in cell

Abstract

Problem: to provide an activator for activating intracellular ATP production. Solution: use of a 5-deazaflavin compound represented by the following formula (I): (wherein, Rrepresents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a halogen-substituted alkyl group, a carboxy-substituted alkyl group, or a phenyl group, Rrepresents an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a phenyl-substituted lower alkyl group, a phenyl group, a phenyl group substituted by one of a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or a lower alkoxy group, or a lower alkyl disubstituted phenyl group, and Rand Reach represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a lower alkoxy group, a phenyl-substituted lower alkoxy, a lower alkylamino group, a phenyl-substituted lower alkylamino group, or a lower alkylsulfonyl group).
