[0057] 1. Materials and Methods

[0058] (i) at 5% CO 2 Next, normal human fibroblast cell line WI-38 was cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). (ii) 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was added to DMEM without FBS at a final concentration of 2 mM, and the cells of (i) were incubated in the medium at 37° C. for 2 hours to allow ALA to bind . (iii) Subsequently, the cells were transferred to DMEM containing 10% FBS and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. (iv) Cells were collected by trypsinization, washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and then suspended in SDS sample buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 2% SDS, 2.5%-mercaptoethanol, 10% glycerol and 0.01% bromophenol blue) at 100°C for 5 minutes to dissolve. In this example, the cell lysate is referred to as "Sample 1".

[0059] As a negative control, except that the above step (ii) was different, a cell lysate was prepared by a similar preparation to sample 1, and the cell...

Abstract

The purpose of the invention is to provide a drug effective in the treatment and prevention of diseases and the like caused by a decrease in frataxin production. The invention provides a frataxin enhancer containing 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or a derivative thereof or a salt of these, and a therapeutic agent and / or prophylactic agent for diseases caused by a decrease in frataxin production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to frataxin enhancers and therapeutic and / or preventive agents for diseases caused by decreased frataxin production. In particular, the present invention relates to a frataxin enhancer comprising 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or a derivative thereof or a salt thereof, and a therapeutic and / or preventive agent for a disease caused by a decrease in taxin production . Background technique [0002] Freetaxin is an iron-binding protein found in mitochondria and is known to function as an iron chaperone protein in restoring aconitase activity of the citric acid cycle that is reduced by reactive oxygen species. Mutaxins are also known to be responsible for supplying iron to iron-sulfur clusters. The iron-sulfur cluster exists, for example, as the active center of aconitase, the enzyme that converts citrate to isocitrate in the mitochondrial TCA cycle, or as a component of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (...
