Abstract
Disclosed is an agent for curing neuronal diseases caused by disorders of peripheral nervous system or central nervous system, which comprises a 2-acylaminopropanol compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a phenyl group or cyclohexyl group each of which may be substituted by 1 to 3 same or different substituents selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy and nitro, or represents an alkyl group, and n represents an integer of 0 to 16, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an effective ingredient.
Claims6
A method of treating neuronal diseases in warm-blooded animals which comprises administering to warm-blooded animals an amount of a 2-acylaminopropanol of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl or cyclohexyl, each of which may be substituted by 1 to 3 same or different substituents selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy and nitro, or wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl, and n is an integer of 0 to 16 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof effective for effecting an activity selected from the group consisting of accelerating biosynthesis of glucosphingolipids, accelerating neurite extension and accelerating synapse formation in warm-blooded animals which suffer from neuronal diseases.
