[Object] To provide a pharmaceutical product (chemotherapeutic agent) effective in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, obesity, etc.
[Solving Means] A phenylimidazole compound represented by the following General Formula (1):
wherein, R
1
represents a hydrogen atom, a phenyl lower alkyl group optionally having a substituent, or a pyridyl lower alkyl group optionally having a substituent, and the benzene ring and the pyridine ring are optionally substituted with 1 or 2 substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen atoms, cyano group and halogen-substituted lower alkyl groups. One of R
2
and R
3
represents a hydrogen atom and the other represents a lower alkoxy group. R
4
represents a phenyl group optionally having a substituent. R
5
and R
6
are the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group. R
7
and R
8
are the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkoxy group. However, when R
1
represents an unsubstituted phenyl lower alkyl group, R
2
represents a lower alkoxy group, R
3
represents a hydrogen atom, R
4
represents a phenyl group optionally having a substituent, and R
5
represents a hydrogen atom, R
6
is not a hydrogen atom.
