An agent for treating or preventing cerebral circulation disorder, cerebral metabolism disorder, or memory disturbance is disclosed. The agent comprises as an effective component a phenylalkanoylamine derivative represented by the following formula (I), ##STR1## wherein A represents a 1,3-thiazolidin-3-yl group, a 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-1-yl group, a morpholino group, a thiomorpholin-4-yl group, or a 3-pyrrolin-1-yl group, R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different, represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a nitro group, an amino group, a guanidino group, or a group ##STR2## (wherein R 3 and R 4 independently represent a lower alkyl group or form in combination 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic group), and n represents an integer of 2-6, or a salt thereof. This agent is effective for treating or preventing cerebral hemorrhage sequela, cerebral infarction sequela, cerebral arterioscleosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage sequela, cranial injury sequela, cerebral operation sequela, cerebrovascular dementia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, various anoxia toxicosis including, but not limited to anthracemia sequela, cerebral alcoholism related diseases, and the like. |
