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. 

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

Provided is a compound which has strong intraocular pressure lowering action and has no side effect on eyes such as ocular stimulating property, humor protein rise etc. Since a compound represented by the formula (I): (wherein definition of each group is as described in the specification), or a salt thereof, a solvate thereof, or a prodrug thereof has strong 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.
