To provide an
ATP production promoter useful for preventing or treating diseases associated with decreased
ATP production, particularly renal impairment. [Solution] The present invention comprises an
ATP production promoter containing a component having URAT1 inhibitory activity. Preferably, the component having URAT1 inhibitory activity is at least one selected from the group consisting of
benzbromarone,
probenecid, dotinurad, recinurad, and berinurad. The present invention is expected to be useful as a preventive and therapeutic agent for diseases of decreased ATP production, and is particularly useful as a therapeutic and / or preventive agent for
nephrotic syndrome,
chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic tubulointerstitial
nephritis,
chronic pyelonephritis,
amyloid kidney, familial
juvenile hyperuricemia nephropathy, autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial
kidney disease, nephronoplasia, renovascular hypertension, renal
vein thrombosis, renal
arteriovenous fistula, renal tubular
acidosis, Gitelman syndrome, Bartter syndrome, Fanconi syndrome, Lowe syndrome, Alport syndrome,
kidney and ureteral stones, and
chronic renal failure.
