The present invention relates to 2-imino-1,3-thiazine derivatives, in specific, 2-imino-1,3-thiazine derivatives having a selective antagonistic activity or agonistic activity to a cannabinoid type 2 receptor and their pharmaceutical use.
It is intended to provide antipruritics (drugs to control itching, antiitch agents and drugs to stop itching). It is found out that a compound having an agonistic activity to the cannabinoid receptor shows an antipruritics effect.
An inhibitor for an inflammatory cell infiltration in the respiratory tract, an inhibitor for hyperirritability in the respiratory tract, a muciparous inhibitor, or a bronchodilator which contains as an active ingredient a compound represented by the formula (I) or (II):
