CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE FOR PROTECTION OF BRAIN NERVE CELL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a chemical substance for protection of brain nerve cell and the method for producing thereof. In the method, Streptomyces sp. 60910 which produces a chemical substance for protection of brain nerve cell from an actinomycetes strain with a protective activity for brain nerve cell is identified and cultured. Then, an aromatic peptide compound with protective activity for brain nerve cell, Complestatin is extracted. The physichemical and biological activities for the compound are measured. The result was found that the chemical substance is acted as a material for protection of brain nerve cell.
