A preventive and therapeutic drug for a neurodegenerative disease containing, as an active ingredient, a cyclohexenone long-chain alcohol compound represented by formula (1) wherein each of R1, R2, and R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and X represents a C10–C28 alkylene group or alkenylene group. Since the compound of the present invention exhibits excellent neurite-extension ability and an inhibition effect on disorders caused by mutation in an SOD gene, it is useful as the active ingredient of a preventive and therapeutic drug for neurodegenerative diseases, inter alia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and as the active ingredient of an inhibitory drug for disorders caused by mutation in an SOD gene.
一种预防和治疗神经退行性疾病的药物,其含有一个环己烯酮长链醇化合物作为活性成分,该化合物由式(1)表示,其中R1、R2和R3中的每一个表示氢原子或甲基基团;X表示C10-C28烷基或烯基烷基。由于本发明的化合物具有出色的神经元生长延伸能力和对由SOD基因突变引起的疾病的抑制作用,因此它可用作预防和治疗神经退行性疾病,尤其是肌萎缩侧索硬化症的活性成分,以及用作对由SOD基因突变引起的疾病的抑制药物的活性成分。
