It is intended to provide a compound useful as a GnRH receptor antagonist. The inventors further investigated propane-1,3-dione derivatives. As a result, they confirmed that a compound having a benzene ring or a thiophene ring substituted with a group represented by —SO2—R3 in a propane-1,3-dione derivative having 2-(1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-ylidene) has an excellent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect and accomplished the present invention. Because the compound of the present invention has a potent GnRH receptor antagonistic effect, it is useful for the treatment of sex hormone-dependent diseases, particularly GnRH-related diseases. Further, because the compound of the present invention has an excellent metabolic stability in human and few drug interactions, therefore it has preferable characteristics as a pharmaceutical used for the above-mentioned diseases.
本发明旨在提供一种作为GnRH受体拮抗剂有用的复合物。发明人进一步研究了丙酮酸1,3-二酮衍生物。结果,他们确认,在具有2-(1,3-二氢-2H-苯并咪唑-2-基亚胺基)的丙酮酸1,3-二酮衍生物中,苯环或噻吩环取代为—SO2—R3基团的化合物具有出色的GnRH受体拮抗效果,并完成了本发明。由于本发明化合物具有强效的GnRH受体拮抗作用,因此对于治疗性激素依赖性疾病,特别是GnRH相关疾病非常有用。此外,由于本发明化合物在人体内具有出色的代谢稳定性和少量药物相互作用,因此具有作为上述疾病用药物的优良特性。
