Abstract: A nerve cell culture material including LASCol has the effect of successfully maintaining survival of the nerve cell. Furthermore, a therapeutic agent for nerve damage including LASCol can allow an endogenous nerve cell to infiltrate or proliferate actively in vivo, thereby enabling neurites to extend early and bind to each other, and has an effect on nerve damage, the effect being sufficient to improve a BBB score.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether carboxylic acid and a salt thereof, including supplying polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether, oxygen, and water to a continuous stirred tank reactor containing a noble metal catalyst to oxidize the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether with oxygen, in which the molar ratio of the salt of polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether carboxylic acid to the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether in the continuous stirred tank reactor is controlled to 0.33 to 49.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thickening/foam-promoting agent having thickening/foam-promoting properties and a low odor, and a detergent composition containing the agent. The thickening/foam-promoting agent is composed of the following component (A): (A) a compound represented by the following formula (1): R1O—(PO)n/(EO)m—R2??(1), wherein R1 is a linear alkyl or an alkenyl group having 8 to 10 carbon atoms, PO is a propyleneoxy group, EO is an ethyleneoxy group, an average added molar number n is a number of 1.5 to 3.0, an average added molar number m is a number of 0 to 1.0, and R2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, wherein the content of an alcohol of the formula (1), when n=0, m=0 and R2 is a hydrogen atom, is not more than 3000 ppm, and the detergent composition contains the component (A) and a surfactant (B).

Abstract: The present invention provides a thickening/foam-promoting agent having thickening/foam-promoting properties and a low odor, as well as a detergent composition containing the same therein. The thickening/foam-promoting agent is composed of the following component (A): (A) a compound represented by the following general formula (1): R1O—(PO)n/(EO)m—R2??(1) (wherein, R1 represents a linear alkyl or an alkenyl group having 8 to 10 carbon atoms, PO represents a propyleneoxy group, EO represents an ethyleneoxy group, an average added molar number n represents a number of 1.5 to 3.0, an average added molar number m represents a number of 0 to 1.0, and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group), wherein, the content of an alcohol of the formula (1), wherein n=0, m=0 and R2 is a hydrogen atom, is not more than 3000 ppm, and the detergent composition contains the component (A) and a surfactant (B).
