To provide a method for reducing a tissue damage caused by ischemia, and to provide a kid used for the method.
This method for reducing the tissue damage caused by ischemia comprises administering a medicinal composition containing an NHE-1 inhibitor, and a proper amount of a second compound selected from the group consisting of (a) a complement modulator, (b) a metabolic modulator, (c) an anti-apoptosis agent, (d) a nitrogen monoxide synthase-related agent, and (e) an enzyme/protein modulator [selected from the group consisting of a protein kinase C activator, an endothelin-converting enzyme inhibitor, a tissue-activating fibrinolysis inhibitor(TAF1), an Na-/Ca+2 exchanger isoform-1 (NCX-1) inhibitor, and a poly(ADP ribose)synthetase(PARS/PARP) inhibitor]. The kid comprises the medicinal composition and a container. The NHE-1 inhibitor includes a compound of formula (1) (a five-membered, diaza or diunsaturated ring having bound carbon, and the adjacent nitrogen, or the like is included) and its prodrug.
