摘要:
A benzoimidazole compound represented by the general formula (I) or a salt thereof: (I) wherein X1 represents an oxygen atom or a carbonyl group; and R1 represents a furan ring having 1 to 3 substituents or a pyrrole ring which may have 1 to 3 substituents, provided that a compound represented by the general formula (I) wherein the substituent is a phosphoric acid group or a phosphate ester group is excluded. The benzoimidazole compound or salt thereof has an excellent prostaglandin D synthetase inhibitory activity, and is useful as a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for a disease associated with prostaglandin D2 or a metabolite thereof, such as an allergic disease or an inflammatory disease or as an inhibitor for the exacerbation of Alzheimer disease or cerebral damage.
摘要:
The present invention provides a benzimidazole compound represented by Formula (I)
wherein X 1 is oxygen or carbonyl, and R 1 is a furan ring having 1 to 3 substituents or a pyrrole ring that may have 1 to 3 substituents; excluding compounds represented by Formula (I) wherein at least one of the substituents is a phosphoric acid group or a phosphoric ester group; or a salt thereof. The benzimidazole compound or salt thereof has excellent prostaglandin synthase inhibitory activity, and is useful as an agent for preventing and/or treating diseases in which prostaglandin D2 or metabolites thereof participates, such as allergic and inflammatory diseases, and as inhibitor for the exacerbation of Alzheimer's disease or cerebral damage.
