Since a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein definition of each group is as described in the specification), a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof has strong and sustaining intraocular pressure lowering activity and, further, has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property (hyperemia, corneal clouding etc.), aqueous humor protein rise etc., it has high safety, and can be an excellent agent for preventing and/or treating glaucoma etc.

Bicyclic compound and use thereof for medical purposes

Since a compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein definition of each group is as described in the specification), a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof has strong and sustaining intraocular pressure lowering activity and, further, has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property (hyperemia, corneal clouding etc.), aqueous humor protein rise etc., it has high safety, and can be an excellent agent for preventing and/or treating glaucoma etc. 

A compound represented by general formula (I): (wherein in the formula, all the symbols have the same meanings as those described in the specification), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is useful as a medicament's active ingredient having an EPreceptor antagonistic activity, in preventing and/or treating disease caused by activation of an EPreceptor.

EP4 antagonist

A medicinal agent for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EPreceptor activation is disclosed. A compound having antagonistic activity against the EPreceptor is contained as an active ingredient in the medicinal agent. The compound represented by the following general formula (I) as defined in the specification, a salt, an N-oxide, or a solvate thereof, or a prodrug of these is useful as a medicinal component having antagonistic activity against the EPreceptor for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EPreceptor activation. 

Tricyclic spiro compound

A medicinal agent for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EPreceptor activation. A compound having antagonistic activity against the EPreceptor is contained as an active ingredient in the medicinal agent. The compound represented by the following general formula (I) as defined in the specification, a salt, an N-oxide, or a solvate thereof, or a prodrug of these is useful as a medicinal component having antagonistic activity against the EPreceptor for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by EPreceptor activation. 

Provided is an EP2 agonist having excellent safety. A compound represented by general formula (I) (wherein all symbols are as defined in the description), a salt or N-oxide of the compound, or a solvate or prodrug of the compound or the salt or N-oxide has an EP2 agonist activity and is highly safe, and is therefore useful as a medicine, particularly a therapeutic agent for diseases associated with EP2 receptors, such as immune diseases, allergic diseases, neuronal death, dysmenorrhea, premature birth, miscarriage, baldness, ocular diseases, erectile dysfunction, arthritis, lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bone diseases and cartilage injury.

Compound having EP2 agonist activity

A compound represented by general formula (I) wherein all symbols are as defined in the specification, a salt or N-oxide of the compound, or a solvate or prodrug of the compound or the salt or N-oxide has a selective EP2 agonist activity and is highly safe, and is therefore useful as a drug, especially as a therapeutic agent for EP2 receptor-related diseases including immune diseases, allergic diseases, neuronal death, dysmenorrhea, premature birth, miscarriage, baldness, ocular diseases, erectile dysfunction, arthritis, lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bone diseases, cartilage injury and others. 

Compound having selective EP2 agonist activity

The present invention provides a compound having ALXR agonist activity. Specifically, the invention provides a compound having ALXR agonist activity represented by general formula (I) wherein all the symbols are as defined in the specification, a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof as well as an agent containing the same as an active ingredient for preventing and/or treating an ALXR-associated disease, such as an inflammatory bowel disease, an autoimmune disease, a chronic inflammatory disease, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, atopic dermatitis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, or Alzheimer's disease. 

ALXR agonist compound

A compound that can be a therapeutic agent for underactive bladder which has low risk of side effects and can be administered orally is provided. Furthermore, a crystal which is advantageous in view of the stability, long-term storage, handleability, easiness of the drug preparation or the like as a drug substance of medicaments is provided. Since a salt of 2-[(2-{(1R,5R)-2-oxo-5-[(1E,4S)-7,8,8-trifluoro-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-1,7-octadien-1-yl]cyclopentyl}ethyl)thio]-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid or a diastereomeric mixture thereof and 4-piperidinemethanol is a chemically very stable crystal, it can be stored for a long time, and is very useful as a drug substance of medicaments.

Amine salt and crystals thereof

The present invention provides a compound of which active |form| is represented by a formula (A). and which can be injected into a joint cavity which is an affected part of disorders and can be accumulated in the joint cavity to exert the pharmacological effect thereof in a sustained manner, for the purpose of ameliorating cartilage disorders without developing any side effect. A compound according to the present invention, which is represented by a formula (I): (wherein all of symbols are as defined in the description), is a compound that can achieve the above-mentioned purpose. This compound does not exhibit any side effect on the cardiovascular system even when the compound is administered in an effective amount for exhibiting a cartilage regeneration activity, and is therefore extremely useful as a safe and effective preventive and/or therapeutic agent for cartilage disorders. Since a suspension produced using this compound can be injected without requiring the incision of the affected part, it can reduce the burden on patients, and is extremely useful as a medicinal agent.
