The present invention provides a triprenyl phenol compound represented by
the following formula (II) and (III) and having a thrombolysis-enhancing
activity, and an efficient method for producing the triprenyl phenol
compound. In formula (II) and (III), R.sup.1 represents an aromatic group
having as a substituent or as a part of a substituent at least one member
selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group,
a sulfonic acid group and a secondary amino group, or an aromatic group
which comprises a secondary amino group and may comprise nitrogen;
R.sup.4 in the general formula (III) represents an aromatic amino acid
residue represented by the general formula (III-1) below; X represents
--CHY--(CH.sub.3).sub.2Z; and Y and Z are respectively --H or --OH or
together form a single bond: (III-1) wherein R.sup.5 represents a
hydroxyl group which may be present or absent; and n represents an
integer of 0 or 1.
