Patent number: 11040087Abstract: Provided is a therapeutic agent that effectively acts on a disease associated with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan. Also provided is a testing method for diseases associated with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan. Specifically, provided is a therapeutic agent for diseases associated with abnormal glycosylation of dystroglycan, containing CDP-ribitol as an active ingredient. Ribitol-phosphate is important in the glycan structure of dystroglycan. In order for ribitol-phosphate to be incorporated into a dystroglycan glycan, a material therefor (sugar donor) is required. In the present invention, it has been found for the first time that CDP-ribitol serves as the sugar donor. It has been confirmed that the glycan of ISPD-deficient cells can be restored by administering CDP-ribitol. Thus, the present invention, which allows CDP-ribitol to be utilized for supplementation therapy, has been completed.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignees: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION KOBE UNIVERSITY, TOKYO METROPOLITAN GERIATRIC HOSPITAL AND INSTITUTE OF GERONTOLOGY, OSAKA PREFECTURAL HOSPITAL ORGANIZATIONInventors: Tatsushi Toda, Kazuhiro Kobayashi, Motoi Kanagawa, Tamao Endo, Hiroshi Manya, Yoshinao Wada, Michiko Tajiri
