A compound represented by formula (I):
wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or an acyl group; R2 and R3, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, or an optionally substituted alkenyl group; R4 represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, or an optionally substituted alkenyl group, or R4 forms a double bond between the carbon atom to which R3 is bonded and the adjacent carbon atom to form a benzothiophene skeleton, or R3 and R4 are taken together to form a 5- to 8-membered spiro ring which may contain a hetero atom, e.g., oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen; and n represents an integer of 0 to 2,
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound of formula (I) exhibits an inhibitory action on the oxidative modification of LDL and is useful as therapeutics of arteriosclerosis.
