A prophylactic and therapeutic agent for inflammatory intestinal diseases comprising as the active ingredient a chromanol glucoside represented by general formula (1), wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4, which may be the same or different, represent each a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R5 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or a lower acyl group; X represents a monosaccharide residue or an oligosaccharide residue wherein the hydrogen atom(s) of the hydroxyl group(s) in the saccharide residue may be substituted with a lower alkyl group or a lower acyl group; n is an integer of 0 to 6; and m is an integer of 1 to 6. Since it contains as the active ingredient the chromanol glucoside which is soluble in water and possesses excellent antioxidation activity and anti-free radical activity, it can significantly prevent any pathological change in inflammatory intestinal diseases and markedly improve the pathology. Further, it can be made into an aqueous preparation containing the active ingredient in a high concentration and the aqueous preparation can effectively act in a small amount on the affected part to prevent or treat inflammatory intestinal diseases and, since no side effect accompanies, can be very safely used.
