Abstract

A drug used for treating or preventing cerebral hemorrhage, the drug including, as an active ingredient, a compound represented by the following Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or solvate thereof:

Claims (19)

1. A method of reducing or suppressing a cerebral hemorrhage in a subject, the method comprising administering SMTP-7, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the administering reduces neuronal damage, inflammation, or apoptosis in the subject.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SMTP-7 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is SMTP-7.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cerebral hemorrhage is intracerebral hemorrhage.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SMTP-7 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered intracerebrally.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cerebral hemorrhage does not associate with a cerebral infarction.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein reducing or suppressing cerebral hemorrhage is independent of reducing or suppressing cerebral infarction.

7. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cerebral hemorrhage is intracerebral hemorrhage.

8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein SMTP-7 is administered intracerebrally.

9. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cerebral hemorrhage does not associate with a cerebral infarction.

10. The method according to claim 2 , wherein reducing or suppressing cerebral hemorrhage is independent of reducing or suppressing cerebral infarction.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administering reduces apoptosis.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the apoptosis is contralateral.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the apoptosis is ipsilateral.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administering reduces neuronal damage.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administering reduces inflammation.

16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administering improves learning ability.

17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the administering improves motor performance.

18. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the administering improves learning ability.

19. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the administering improves motor performance.
