  • Protease Inhibitors and Preventives or Remedies for Disease
    Publication number: 20130072441
    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a novel protease inhibitor and curative remedies and a therapeutic method for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency syndrome, alveolar proteinosis and circulatory diseases. [Means for Solving Problems] A protease inhibitor and a preventive or a remedy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by containing at least one member selected from among redox active proteins and genes encoding the same and a preventive or a remedy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alveolar proteinosis or circulatory diseases characterized by containing at least one member selected from IL-18 and a gene encoding the same.

  • Preventive or therapeutic agents for diseases including interleukin-18 inhibitor as an active ingredient
    Publication number: 20080090766
    Abstract: The invention provides novel curative remedies and a therapeutic method for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alveolar proteinosis and circulatory diseases. Disclosed is a preventive or therapeutic agent for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alveolar proteinosis and circulatory diseases comprising at least one of the substances selected from (1) to (4): (1) interleukin-18 inhibitor excluding redox-active protein; (2) protein with an activity of inhibiting interleukin-18, comprising an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acids are deleted from, replaced with, or added to said interleukin-18 inhibitor excluding redox-active protein; (3) genes that encode (1); and (4) genes that encode (2).
