Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a remedy of demyelinating disease having a slight adverse effect containing S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine or salts of said compound as active ingredient. CONSTITUTION:The aimed remedy contains a compound expressed by the formula or pharmaceutically usable salts of said compound widely distributing in organism and produced as a product after methyl group rearrangement reaction in organism as an active ingredient. Said remedy has a slight adverse effect differing from conventional immunosuppression agent (e.g. cyclosporine A) having strong adverse effect such as hepatopathy or leukopenia. Said remedy is able to be administrated as injection, per os or suppository and exhibits effect with administration of 0.1-50mg per 1kg body weight in 1 day.

(Prior art) F! (demyelination) diseases are a group of diseases caused by peritis of white matter blood vessels in the central nervous system or primary breakdown of myelin sheaths surrounding nerves, including multiple sclerosis and optic nerve disease. This includes diseases such as myelitis, acute generalized myelitis of the brain, and myelitis of the brain after infection.In these diseases, the breakdown of the nervous system causes muscle paralysis and paresthesia, and can eventually lead to death. Currently, there is no established treatment method and it is an incurable disease. It is also said that non-suppurative inflammation is the cause of this nervous system breakdown.

SAH is widely distributed in living organisms and is produced as a product after an in vivo methyl group rearrangement reaction. That is, the methyl group transfer reaction is catalyzed by various methyl group transfer enzymes using S-adenosyl-L-methionine (hereinafter abbreviated as SAM) as a methyl group donor and nucleic acids or proteins as methyl group acceptors. After the reaction, SAM loses its methyl group and becomes SAH. This methyl group translocation reaction is known to play important roles such as regulating gene transcription activity and cell differentiation (N, M, Kredich et al., Ce11, Vol. 12, 9).
31-938.1977). As described above, SAH is greatly involved in reactions within living tissues, but its use as a pharmaceutical has not been clarified. Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-14522
Publication No. 2 discloses that S A H is useful as a sedative, an anticonvulsant, and a sleep-inducing agent. Taredisohi et al., mentioned above, have also disclosed that SAH damages T lymphoma cells. However, there have been no reports in the literature that it is effective against the demyelinating disease disclosed in the present invention.
