ABSTRACT:
A drug containing a calmodulin inhibitor as an active ingredient is disclosed. This drug is useful in the suppression of neuronal cell death, in particular brain neuronal cell death, due to, for example, cerebral ischemia.
Also, a drug containing a compound capable of inhibiting binding of calmodulin to a cytoskeltal protein as an active ingredient and a drug containing a compound suppressing the breakdown of a cytoskeltal protein as an active ingredient are disclosed.
These drugs are useful in the treatment and prevention of various diseases in the brain and sequelae thereof as well as in the prevention of relapses of these diseases.
