The present invention provides a novel use of a compound having a plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) inhibitory effect. Specifically, a compound having a PAI-1 inhibitory effect is used as an intranostimulator, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, an inhibitor for exacerbation of tumor cells caused by PD-L1, or an enhancer of immunotherapy for tumors, based on the inhibitory effect of the compound on expression induction of immune checkpoint molecules.

Compositions and methods are described for the prevention, treatment, or management of sexual dysfunction, such as premature ejaculation. The method comprises administering an effective amount of tetrahydropalmatine or its derivative or Rhizoma Corydalis extract containing composition to a human male on an as-needed basis shortly before sexual activity to delay ejaculation.
