The present invention relates to a neurotrophic factor secretagogue, in particular, to a BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) secretagogue, which comprises as an active ingredient an NO donor. The medicament of the present invention promotes the secretion of neurotrophic factors from mammalian central neural cells. Thus, the medicament of the present invention, i.e., NO donor, is possibly applicable to the treatment of diseases caused by neutrotrophic factors, for example, neurodegenerative diseases, and is expected to exhibit the efficacious effects thereon. Also, the present invention provides a novel medication for neurodegenerative diseases.
