Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cell adhesion inhibitory agent, cellular infiltration inhibitory agent, antiallergic agent, antiasthmatic agent, and antiphlogistic, which contains a compound of the following formula (1): ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1 through R.sup.6 represents H, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a lower alkyl group, or a lower alkoxy group, m represents a number of 1 from 3 inclusive, and n represents 2 or 3.

Abstract: A polypeptide having a specific amino acid sequence is described. Also described are a novel DNA coding the polypeptide, a recombinant plasmid containing the DNA, a transformant containing the recombinant plasmid, an anticoagulant containing the polypeptide as an effective ingredient, and a process for the production of the polypeptide.

Abstract: A polypeptide having an amino acid sequence as shown in FIG. 1 and its preparation method are disclosed. A DNA fragment capable of coding CPBII polypeptide (human placenta-derived coagulation inhibitor) is first obtained from the human placental cDNA library by using a CPBII-specific antibody as a probe. Then, microorganism cells are transformed by the use of a recombinant plasmid incorporated with the DNA fragment, allowing the resultant transformant to express the CPBII gene, to finally obtain a CPBII-like polypeptide. The polypeptide of this invention exhibits strong anticoagulation activities, and useful for an active component of anticoagulation medicines and preventin in vivo blood coagulation.
