It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent enhancer
for an osteogenesis accelerator that can enhance the activity of BMP as
an osteogenesis accelerator. Another object of the present invention is
to provide a method of screening for a novel enhancer for an osteogenesis
accelerator.The present invention relates to an enhancer for an
osteogenesis accelerator, which comprises a compound having a TGF-.beta.
selective inhibitory activity as an active ingredient, the enhancer being
administered with an osteogenesis accelerator containing BMP as an active
ingredient either simultaneously or sequentially, and to a method of
screening for an enhancer for an osteogenesis accelerator, comprising
using a TGF-.beta. inhibition as a measure for discovering the enhancer.
