An agent for depressing and inhibiting the functions developed by the multidimensional structure (conformation) of a molecule through a nonenzymatic reaction. Examples thereof include a compound having a fundamental molecular structure represented by general formula (a), and other agents containing the compound, a derivative thereof or an acid-addition salt thereof as the active ingredient, such as antibacterial agent, antifungal agent, antiviral agent, germicide/disinfectant, anticancer drug, blood-clotting/fibrinolytic system depressant or inhibitor, antigen-antibody reaction depressant, organ-tissue preservative or antiseptic for food, etc., spermatocide or contraceptive for external use, thrombolytic agent, sugar-chain conformation modifier, arteriosclerosis preventive, improver for (lipid, sugar or protein) metabolism, wound healing agent, epithelialization accelerator, depressant of function development of bioactive substances (such as enzyme, peptide and gene), depolymerizer, surface activity improver, phase transfer agent or phase transfer improver, micro-phase separate structure improver, plasticizer or plasticity improver, copolymerizing agent or copolymerization improver, polymerization regulator or polymerization regulator/improver, stabilizer or stabilization improver, noncrystallizer or noncrystallizability improver, fluidity improver, flexibilizer or flexibilization improver, oxidation inhibitor antioxidant, modifier or improver of the fluorescence wavelength or excitation wavelength of dye, paint, pigment or colorant, improver of properties or functions of low-molecular-weight substance, improver of properties or functions of high-molecular-weight substance, and improver of properties of high-molecular-weight composite material or functional high-molecular-weight composite material. |
