ANTI-TRYPANOSOME AGENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anti-trypanosome agent, a remedy for trypanosomiasis, and a method for suppressing proliferation of Trypanosoma brucei.

SOLUTION: It has been found that vitamin B2 has concentration-dependent proliferation suppressing effect on Trypanosoma brucei by isolation and structure determination of an active substance of silkworm pupa. A death-delaying effect on a mouse infected with Trypanosoma brucei is developed without applying a specific light by orally administering the agent to the mouse.
