Low molecular weight compound exhibiting an osteogenesis-promoting action having the general formula (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof:

An anti-obesity agent or a glucose tolerance-ameliorating agent containing a bacterium belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium as an active ingredient, wherein the bacterium belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium exhibits a conversion rate from linoleic acid into conjugated linoleic acid of not more than 10%. The present invention is able to provide an anti-obesity agent and a glucose tolerance-ameliorating agent that are effective for the prevention or treatment of obesity or the amelioration of glucose tolerance and also exhibit superior safety, as well as providing foods or beverages containing these agents. Further, the present invention is also able to provide a bacterium of the genus Bifidobacterium, and in particular a Bifidobacterium breve, that is effective for the prevention or treatment of obesity or the amelioration of glucose tolerance and also exhibits superior safety, as well as providing a pharmaceutical composition containing this bacterium.

Compounds exhibiting an osteogenesis-promoting action having the general formula (I) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof:wherein A is selected from among a 3- to 10-membered heterocyclyl group, B is selected from among an amino group, and X is selected from N and CH.

The present invention relates to a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound according to the present invention can be usefully used for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

This invention is in the field of preventing or treating acute exacerbations in chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, by administration of polyclonal immunoglobulin to the respiratory tract, in particular by direct application of an aerosolized composition comprising polyclonal immunoglobulin.

The present invention relates to a novel use for the compound of Chemical formula 1 in order to produce drugs or foods for the prevention or treatment of obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, metabolic syndrome or the like, and to a composition for the prevention or treatment of obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, metabolic syndrome or the like which contains the compound of Chemical formula 1 as an active ingredient, and also to a method for the prevention or treatment of obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, metabolic syndrome or the like comprising the administration of the compound of Chemical formula 1 to a mammal in a therapeutically effective dose. According to the present invention, the compound of Chemical formula 1 has been confirmed to suppress the differentiation of adipocytes, to reduce body weight and the amount of visceral fat, to reduce concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids and glucose which are associated with fatty liver and diabetes and the like and to reduce the fatty component in liver tissue, to suppress gene expression associated with obesity in visceral fatty tissue, and to increase the amount of expression of UCP1 and UCP3 which are UCP (uncoupling protein) genes involved in thermogenesis. The compound of Chemical formula 1 can be used to advantage in order to prevent or treat obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and the like since, unlike the obesity treating agents based on synthetic drugs currently in use, it is based on a natural substance and hence entails a very low risk of adverse effects and, additionally, it exhibits its pharmacological effects by regulating the expression of genes associated with obesity rather than exhibiting pharmacological effects by acting on enzymes or the nervous system.

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating nicotine addiction or withdrawal symptoms. The pharmaceutical composition includes miR-137 as an active ingredient. Overexpression of miR-137 in an animal model having nicotine addiction or withdrawal symptoms results in relief, prevention or amelioration of the symptoms. Therefore, the use of miR-137 contributes to the prevention or treatment of nicotine addiction or withdrawal symptoms and is expected to be useful for developing relevant therapeutic agents.
