Title:
MALE FUNCTION-IMPROVING EFFECT OF HELIPYRONE A
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/012194
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of newly finding a compound that has no effect other than an effect of increasing cavernous pressure, different from conventional medicinal compositions for treating or ameliorating erectile dysfunction. The present inventors examined various substances derived from natural products with respect to the presence or absence of a male function-improving effect. As a result, they found that the administration of helipyrone A (3,3'-methylenebis(6-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one)), which is a component derived from curry plant belonging to the genus Helichrysum of the family Asteraceae, enhances an cavernous nerve stimulation-induced cavernous pressure increasing effect in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, and thus completed the present invention.
