Abstract
A preventive and/or therapeutic agent for diabetes complications, which comprises as an effective ingredient a cyclohexenone long-chain alcoholic derivative represented by the following formula (1): wherein, R1, R2 and R3 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and X represents a linear or branched C10-28 alkylene or alkenylene group. The cyclohexenone long-chain alcoholic derivative of the present invention significantly suppresses a reduction in a peripheral nerve conduction rate and alleviates the hypofunction of the bladder so that it is useful as a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for diabetes complications, particularly, for diabetic neuropathy.
